At 9-2 (5-2), the Miami Hurricanes are leaving no stone unturned. With only a nine-percent chance of winning the ACC, Miami not only needs to beat the tar out of Pittsburgh on Saturday, but may need to do so with style points. One of the best ways they can do that is with their smothering defense, one that appears to be a little banged up coming in. Fortunately, it looks like Jakobe Thomas is playing!

Thomas had to exit last week's dominating victory over rival Virginia Tech with a forearm injury. Shortly after the game, Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal gave a positive update on the health of Thomas.
