LAKE BUENA VISTA —University of Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, who grew up in Miami and is the son of the former mayor, spoke about his experiences with Hurricane Irma and how it could affect his 14th-ranked Hurricanes (0-1) as they prepare for Toledo (3-0) at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Some of what he said:

“First, it’s about the people, everybody in the program making sure everybody was secure, safe with their families. Then the storm passes. What we understand being from South Floridians is the preparation that goes into a hurricane beforehand and how hard it is getting anything done before the storm.
