In every sport, on every team, one goal seems to rise above the rest; beat your rival. Of course in Miami, one half of one of the best rivalries in sports, that expectation is especially true. Every year, second only to competing for a National Championship, Canes’ fans want to see their team stomp out the Florida State Seminoles. And in a 2018 season that was as abysmal as they come, Hurricanes Nation got to at least claim bragging rights over it’s most-hated rival.
Miami seemed on the upswing heading up to this game, ranked 17th and rebounding well following the horrendous loss in the opener against LSU.
