Miami and Wisconsin should be a low scoring game. It features two of the best defenses nationally. The Badgers and Hurricanes defenses have been adept at turning over their opponents. Whichever team is able to limit their turnovers might come out victorious.

The Hurricanes are going to have to establish the run. One of the common themes in their losses during Mark Richt’s two seasons as Miami’s coach has been their inability to run the football. Miami has to get Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas going early. Utilizing quarterback Malik Rosier’s ability in the running game will also be a big help.

The Hurricanes are 2-0 in ABC/ESPN games already this season. Miami defeated Virginia Tech and Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium the first two Saturdays in November. If the Hurricanes can get off to a good start, the Rock could be reminiscent of the Orange Bowl games that Miami played in in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Last season’s five-game winning streak fueled Miami’s ten game winning streak to win to end the 2016 season. A loss in the Orange Bowl would hinder a lot of the momentum Miami created with the 15 game winning streak. With a top ten recruiting class coming in 2018 a win in the Orange Bow over the top ten Badgers would create a lot of momentum heading into 2018.
