The play of the massive offensive and defensive lines of the Miami Hurricanes will determine Saturday's outcome.
Coach Mario Cristobal, who was a former first-team All-Big East offensive lineman for the Miami Hurricanes, has built the Miami Hurricanes offensive and defensive lines under his tutelage. No longer are the Hurricanes considered a finesse team. Cristobal has gradually transformed the University of Miami offensive and defensive lines into tough, aggressive, disciplined, and stout line units.
It should not be anyone's surprise that the big lineman up front on both sides of the ball are responsible for the majority of the Cane's success this season.
