The Miami Hurricanes are gearing up for not only the second ranked matchup of the season, but also an important recruiting showcase. Almost two weeks after Miami defeated then-No. 6 Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium, 27-24, Mario Cristobal and company will try to get a win over No. 18 USF.
The Bulls bring in a different angle than Notre Dame in this game. While USF is not the national brand that Miami is, they are an in-state program that is quickly building steam after getting two ranked wins to start the season. Miami will want to take care of business and impress the long list of recruits coming into town. These are the recruits that will be in attendance.
