Miami Hurricanes beat writer for the South Florida Sun Sentinel. He/Him. Posting through it. These are crazy days but they make me shine. Tips/jokes: [email protected]
Nothing crazy on Miami’s initial injury report for Saturday’s game against Pitt. Charles Brantley, who has played sparingly this season, is listed as out.
Defensive lineman David Blay Jr. is listed as questionable.
Pitt RB Desmond Reid is listed as questionable.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Someone the Hurricanes be thankful for this year is freshman Malachi Toney, who has quickly risen to one of the nation’s most explosive players.
And remember, he should still be in high school.

‘Work for what you want and you will achieve it’: Malachi Toney’s rise has been key to Hurricanes’ season
Hurricanes star freshman Malachi Toney has worked his way to becoming one of the nation’s premier playmakers. He is a big reason why Miami is close to making the College Football Playoffs.

NEW: Hurricanes freshman star Malachi Toney's first taste of the big stage was disastrous.
But that disaster helped mold him into who he is today: not just one of the best freshmen in the nation, but one of the nation's most electric players.

Can Miami still make the College Football Playoff? Yes, here’s how
The Hurricanes are No. 12 in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings. They are on the bubble, with a chance to make the field. But it Is far from guaranteed.

In non-CFP news, one of my dogs stole a loaf of bread out of a bag in the kitchen, so now I’m calling her Jean Valjean.

Interesting that CFP chair Hunter Yurachek has said multiple times that Miami is starting to look like the team they were from the first few weeks.
You know, the team that beat Notre Dame.
If Miami is once again the team that can beat ND now, shouldn't they be in over ND?

Yurachek on Miami: "The committee has seen good, consistent play from Miami over the last three weeks. … He looks like the Carson Beck they had to start the season. They appear back on track. They started in this poll at 18 and they're up to 12."

CFP chair Hunter Yurachek said Miami and Notre Dame were in the same comparison group but the committee still slotted UM behind Alabama, BYU and the Fighting Irish.
But he did credit their consistency and Carson Beck's strong play.

Notre Dame sticks at No. 9 after obliterating Syracuse. If destroying an opponent doesn't move them up, that might be their ceiling without someone else losing.
