No. 24 Miami (1-1) vs. Michigan State (2-0): Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Saturday, noon, ABC
A mid-level Big Ten team playing in the September heat is just what Miami needs to shake out of its opening troubles. UM will be hard-pressed to stop Michigan State RB Kenneth Walker III, who has been superb — already amassing 321 rushing yards and five touchdowns in two games. But Miami’s improved run defense should be able to slow him down.
No. 24 Miami and Michigan State enter Saturday having experienced two different starts to the season. The Hurricanes haven’t played to their potential in their blowout loss to top-ranked Alabama and closer-than-you’d-like win over Appalachian State.
