Key storylines and matchup notes for Miami and USF
- This is a resume game on The CW: With Miami already owning a top-10 win (Notre Dame) and USF entering off two straight wins vs. ranked teams, this might be The CW’s most compelling college broadcast to date.
- Beck’s accuracy (22-of-24 last week) has helped Miami's offense stay elite. USF’s Brown extends plays and adds designed QB run elements that stressed out Boise State and Florida. Miami's D-line will need to be sharp against Brown.
- Both teams have forced turnovers through first couple of games. USF capitalized on miscues in Gainesville while Miami was +2 in turnovers vs. Notre Dame.
