Dolphins, Canes Among Several Southern Teams Watching Hurricane Matthew

CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami/AP) — When it comes to Mother Nature, there isn’t much that is in our control.

Teams across the southeastern portion of the U.S. were keeping a close eye Tuesday on the progress of Hurricane Matthew, which forecasters say could have a major impact on no fewer than four states by later this week.

Storm shutters were being drawn shut across windows at the University of Miami, where the 10th-ranked Hurricanes were preparing for their annual rivalry game with No. 23 Florida State on Saturday.

A hurricane watch was already posted for parts of Florida, while the southernmost portions of the state were under a tropical storm watch.
