The six-game streak after defeating Florida State was part of a 15 game winning streak overall spanning the 2016 and 2017 seasons. The Miami Hurricanes won five straight to end 2016 and 10 straight to begin 2017.
In past years there have been mixed results. In Mark Richt’s first season a 20-19 loss to Florida State sent the Miami Hurricanes to the first of four straight losses to drop to 4-4 after a 4-0 start. Miami turned it around after that with a four-game winning streak.
Being able to keep the momentum going this season is critical if they hope to repeat their ACC Coastal Division championship and get back to the ACC Championship game.
