Miami Hurricanes fans who thought The U was on the Ohio State University Buckeyes' level found out they were sorely mistaken after a 24-21 loss to the Louisville Cardinals at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday night.
Carson Beck's four interceptions were the main story, but the long-term story arc in Miami Gardens became clear: the Hurricanes are not head-and-shoulders above the large majority of the Power 4. Louisville is a well-coached team under Jeff Brohm, but they were a two-touchdown underdog coming into Week 8. If the Cardinals can beat the Canes, Miami may be vulnerable to the SMU Mustangs, NC State Wolfpack, and Pitt Panthers.
