The Hurricanes have been on fire to start the year, scoring 122 total points after two games. This includes 77 points against FAMU, scoring all of them in the first three quarters. The contest was so overwhelming for the Rattlers that both teams agreed to cut the fourth quarter down to 10 minutes.

Darian Mensah showed off dominance in convincing fashion as he and the No. 7 Miami Hurricanes cruised to a 77-7 win over the FAMU Rattlers on Thursday night.
Mensah has started the fourth year of his collegiate career, his first with the Hurricanes. Following stints at Tulane and Duke, he joined Miami with the goal of competing for a national championship. The Hurricanes reached that stage last season before losing to Indiana, making the objective a lofty one for Mensah.
That doesn't mean he will back down form the challenge. Quite the opposite following his first two games for Miami.

Miami QB Darian Mensah puts up more video game numbers in rout of Florida A&M originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Darian Mensah can almost literally do no wrong.
Miami's electric quarterback completed 14 of 15 passes for 252 yards and three touchowns -- all in the first half -- in the Hurricanes' 77-7 win over Florida A&M on Thursday night.
That's a passer rating of 300.5, only slightly higher than the 257.3 rating he posted in his season opener. He completed 27 of 30 passes for 401 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-6 win over Stanford last week.
That means through two games, the Duke transfer has completed 41 of 45 passes for 653 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions.

Florida A&M football has been forced to make a quarterback change after starter Isaiah Knowles was ruled out for the season with a thumb injury.
Backup Dustin Fletcher led the Rattler offense on the field for their first possession against the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday, Sept. 10, for a Week 2 "money game" at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Fletcher replaces Knowles, who left Sept. 6's 31-13 Orange Blossom Classic loss against the third quarter after hurting his right throwing hand after taking a hit from a South Carolina State defender. Fletcher subbed in and completed 6-of-8 passes for 68 yards.
And now, he's responsible for operating head coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr.'s offense against the defending College Football Playoff runners-up and No. 7-ranked team in the USA TODAY top 25.
Fletcher transferred to the Rattlers from The Citadel.

3 games Miami WR Malachi Toney could cement his Heisman Trophy race originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
If you haven't heard about Malachi Toney by now, you are living under a rock. The 18-year-old prodigy out of Liberty City, Florida has taken the college world by storm after his astonishing freshman season. He helped lead Miami Hurricanes to another national championship appearance.
Toney's week one performance against Stanford on Saturday will never be forgotten, literally, because he set the Miami Hurricanes' single-game receiving record with 234 yards and a hat trick. Eddie Brown previously set the record in 1984 against Boston College with 220 receiving yards. He finished his 2025 campaign with 1,211 receiving yards, 109 receptions, and 10 touchdowns, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards at 18 years old.
Miami head coach Mario Cristobal was asked about Toney on the Pat McAfee Show and gave nothing but praise to his star-studded receiver: "He's put on 12–14 pounds of muscle man; he can accelerate and decelerate at a higher rate." Cristobal said. "He is stronger, he is faster, and then the time he puts in it's never changed, he always tries to push the envelope with that."
Cristobal's praise and the stats tell the story of the player Toney is, but three games could close the door on his competition.

The 2027 recruiting cycle still has a few months to go until the December signing period, but it feels like a majority of the top classes in the nation are set. Just two senior blue-chippers — according to the Rivals Industry Ranking — remain uncommitted, as of Sept. 8.
Things always move quick in the summer during official visit season, but this cycle has moved at a fervent pace since the beginning of the spring. While coaching changes, changes of heart and other factors will lead to some flips down the stretch, for the most part, top recruits look locked into their respective pledges.

Almost every ACC recruiting headline this cycle has revolved around Miami. The Hurricanes have the nation's No. 3 class — per the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings — and are the only ACC program to have a top-15 class with the season underway.
There are some new head coaches in the league who are making a splash in their new digs, while some old faces are still trying to show they've got their fastball. Rivals is taking a look at the updated ACC class rankings, now that football is finally back:

Four-star athlete Za'Kari Johnson is one of Florida State football's top commits in the 2027 recruiting cycle, but they will have to keep fighting to hold onto his commitment. He visited the Texas A&M Aggies last weekend, and on Thursday he will be visiting the Miami Hurricanes, according to On3's EJ Holland.
"I just want to see Miami football," Johnson said. "Miami has always been my dream school. Being a kid from South Florida, I look up to all the greats. I've seen them ball. It motivates me."
Johnson is ranked as the No. 296 overall player and No. 9 athlete in the Rivals industry ranking. He is also the No. 27 player from Florida. He explained what he needs to see from the Seminoles for him to stay committed.
"(My commitment) stands good right now," Johnson said. "I need them to win, though. I need them to ball… I love Mike (Norvell). I hope he can stay. A lot of people say he might not stay. But I hope he can stay, so I can go there."
FSU and Miami appear to be headed in very different directions one week into the 2026 season. The Hurricanes are 1-0 and national ******* le contenders, while the Seminoles are 1-1 and Mike Norvell is fighting for his job. Miami also has another advantage in their pursuit of Johnson, he is teammates with five-star Miami wide receiver commit Nick Lennear, who would surely love to play with him at the next level.

Florida A&M football faces a tall task when it faces the Miami Hurricanes this Thursday, Sept. 10.
Kickoff is at 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on the ACC Network.
The Rattlers enter the Week 2 money game with a 1-1 record, losing to the defending Black College National Champions, South Carolina State, 31-13 in the Orange Blossom Classic last Sunday, Sept. 6, at Hard Rock Stadium. FAMU was dominated at the line of scrimmage and allowed 292 rushing yards.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes, the College Football Playoffs defending runners-up, are 1-0 after dominating Stanford 45-6 last Friday, Sept. 4. Sophomore wide receiver Malachi Toney had a program record-setting day with 234 receiving yards, adding 12 catches and three touchdowns.
FAMU is a member of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, and is 1-35 against Football Bowl Subdivision teams. The Rattlers' lone FBS win came against Miami in 1979, 16-13, at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.

Cricket Australia (CA) has opened the door to private investment in the Big Bash League (BBL), with the Melbourne Renegades set to become the first franchise offered for sale from the 2027-28 season.

The decision comes after months of discussions between Cricket Australia and Australia's state cricket ***** ociations over the future of the domestic T20 competition.

At a press conference at the SCG on Tuesday afternoon, CA confirmed that the Renegades will be the first BBL franchise to enter the private ownership process. Other BBL and WBBL teams could also be offered for sale in the future under a "self-determination" model.

The governing body said the move is aimed at bringing private investment into the T20 competition and strengthening the financial position of Australian cricket as players and teams are increasingly being drawn towards lucrative leagues around the world.

"CA will invite bids from private owners for the Renegades with a view to them playing the 2027-28 season under new ownership," the governing body said in a statement on Tuesday.

"Beginning the sales process for the Renegades allows us to take the first step in a self-determination model for our members and represents a defining moment for the game," said Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird.

"This is a significant decision that has involved an enormous amount of ***** ysis, discussion and collaboration over many months."

CA said other franchises could be put on the market at a later stage.

"Pending the result of that process, CA will consider taking other clubs to market under a self-determination model that gives each state member the ability to ***** s the optimal pathway for its own club and community."

According to cricket.com.au, Hobart Hurricanes, Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars are among the other clubs believed to be interested in private investment.

The Renegades are owned by Cricket Victoria, which supported CA's original plan. They won the BBL ***** le in the 2018-19 season.

The move comes as CA looks to strengthen its finances. Despite a boost in revenue from hosting a five-Test series against India, the game's biggest financial market, CA reported a net deficit of A$11.3 million for the 2024-25 financial year.

"By opening the door to private investment in the Big Bash Leagues, Cricket Australia is taking a deliberate step to strengthen and secure the long-term future of the game," CA Chairman Mike Baird said in Tuesday's statement.

Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced in July that December's BBL 2026-27 season opener between the Renegades and Perth Scorchers would take place in the Chennai.

While CA is allowing private ownership, it will continue to control key areas of the competition. Baird said the governing body will retain control over international scheduling, player availability, salary caps and media rights.

CA will also have the power to approve or veto investors and set a reserve price for

Week 1 of the college football season is officially under wraps. And as always, the action that played out on Saturday will have a major impact on who is playing in the future on Sunday, as several prominent 2027 NFL Draft prospects saw their draft value rise or fall depending on their performances. Let's take a look at which notable prospects performed the best this past weekend.
Jadan Baugh is already high on many people's radar as he enters the coming year after a season that saw him accumulate 1,170 yards. And he looked like he didn't miss a beat in Florida's win over Florida Atlantic in Week 1 – he managed 160 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries, good for an 11.4-yard-per-carry average. He also earned a whopping 130 of those yards after contact and forced nine missed tackles.
Rutgers may have suffered one of the most embarrassing losses of the week to UMass, but Duff established himself as a premier wide receiver in the upcoming draft. He hauled in nine receptions for 196 yards and three touchdowns, averaging over 21 yards per catch on 17 targets with zero drops.
Mensah helped lead the Hurricanes to a dominant victory in Week 1, and he did so in an efficient fashion. He went 27-for-30 passing for 400 yards and five touchdowns, completing 90 percent of his passes. He was the highest-graded passer of the week according to Pro Football Focus (PFF).

You've got to hand it to Miami: The Hurricanes' social media team nailed this post on X (formerly Twitter) after Florida State dealt with a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium on Monday night that delayed the Seminoles' contest against SMU.
The game eventually started at 9:15 p.m. ET with some limits that included no PA announcer and no use of the scoreboard.
Miami's admins decided to have some fun with it with a simple tweet: "The lights are ON at our house," they wrote. "See YOU at Hard Rock [Stadium] on Thursday."
Boom, roasted. Here's the post Miami put up:
Some people did point out that Hard Rock technically isn't only their house with the NFL's Miami Dolphins playing there, but that's beside the point. This is some good ol' fashioned social media trolling and we're here for it.

Ohio State left little doubt in their season-opening 56-3 win over Ball State on Saturday. The Buckeyes couldn't find any traction in their first drive of the game, punting after three plays. Not much else went wrong for Ryan Day's team, as they not only were able to showcase starters Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, and others, but they also were able to get their backups some work in the second half of the blowout.
No matter the result in a game, it's always fun to dive into the numbers after the final whistle is blown. Don't worry, I'm not going to get too nerdy with some of the numbers I found interesting from the win over the Cardinals. With as many points and yards as the Buckeyes put up against Ball State, a lot of players were able to get in on the fun in the first game of the season.
Ohio State's victory over Ball State was the 27th consecutive season-opening win for the Buckeyes, which is the longest active streak in the country. The last time Ohio State lost in their first game of the season came against the Miami Hurricanes in the Kickoff Classic in 1999. The 27 straight wins also tie Florida for the second-longest winning streak in season openers in Division I history. The Buckeyes now just need wins in their next two season openers to tie Nebraska's streak of 29 straight from 1986 to 2014.
With the win over the Cardinals, Ryan Day tied Urban Meyer with 83 wins at Ohio State, which is the fourth-most in school history. The only coaches ahead of Day and Meyer in terms of wins are Woody Hayes, John Cooper, and Jim Tressel. Nine of Day's wins have come in season-opening games for the Buckeyes, with an average margin of victory of 28.4 points per game in those games. Day is now 7-0 against teams from the MAC during his time at Ohio State, crushing teams from the conference by an average of 51.4 points per game.
Prior to kickoff, 31 members of Ohio State's senior class were honored in Senior Day festivities. This marks the first year that Ohio State has honored its seniors prior to the opening kickoff of the first game of the season, as Senior Day was normally held at the final home game of the season. Those seniors have now racked up 38 wins since the beginning of the 2023 season. The seniors are hoping to add to that total the rest of the season on their way to achieving their goal of making another College Football Playoff and earning a second national championship.

Texas A&M will kick off the 2026 regular season against Missouri State on Saturday night, which will include five of the Aggies' five-star commits in the No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class, led by senior St. Thomas Aquinas offensive tackle Mark Matthews, who is coming off Friday night's thrilling 31-24 victory to stay undefeated this year.
One of the more refined pass-protecting tackles in the 2027 cycle, Matthews is widely considered to have first-round NFL Draft potential, and after committing to Texas A&M over Miami, Aggie fans are waiting for the blue-chip big man to officially shut down his recruitment and sign with the program in early December.
Late last month, Matthews revealed in an interview with GigEm247's Cade Draughon that he plans to announce his recruitment shutdown in due time and will release a statement on X, but for the remaining fans still unsure if the Florida native is truly locked in with the Aggies, his post-game interview with Marcus Benjamin stated that he is "a thousand percent locked in" with Texas A&M.
When asked what Texas A&M fans should expect from Matthews in Year 1, the incoming freshman simply responded, "The film, I promise I'm going to drop myself in the SEC and do the same thing." When asked which teams are still in pursuit, he mentioned only the Miami Hurricanes and coach Mario Cristobal, which isn't surprising given the in-state connection.
Matthews is expected to make his way to College Station this weekend and attend Texas A&M vs. Missouri State on Saturday night.

Miami star receiver Malachi Toney has a big new NIL deal to show off just before the 2026 campaign officially begins for the Hurricanes. He's now got an endorsement deal with Adidas.
According to a post on social media from Nice Kicks, Toney signed with Adidas, joining an elite roster that includes the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Fernando Mendoza, Travis Hunter and Jeremiah Smith. Former Miami players Rueben Bain, David Njoku, and Braxton Berrios also rep the brand. Toney is one of the most electric receivers in the game, set to enter his sophomore season this fall.

In the season opener last fall, the Miami Hurricanes knocked off Notre Dame 27-24, in a highly contested battle.
It was a victory that propelled Miami all the way to the College Football Playoff **** le game, where they ultimately fell to Indiana. The Hurricane offense lost elite offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa, quarterback Carson Beck, offensive linemen Markel Bell and Anez Cooper along with wide receiver CJ Daniels to the NFL draft. That's a good amount of talent gone from a pretty solid offense, but there are some that believe Miami will be better this fall.
Recently, 247Sports Brad Crawford was asked about the Hurricanes offensive outlook for this season and he thinks it will be the best offense they've had under head coach Mario Cristobal. He'd go on to say "I think this is the best transfer quarterback Miami has gotten … Darian Mensah, I think he should be the preseason Heisman frontrunner."
Crawford is high on the running backs and wide receivers, but one area where he's a bit concerned is on offensive line. "Maybe if there's one question Miami has … that would be it," as he noted the addition of 5-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell.
This game has been circled on Notre Dame's schedule since the heartbreaking loss last year, and revenge would be sweet. The Irish defense should be one of the best in the country, and should be able to neutralize the Hurricane attack.

We're almost there, Miami football fans. The Hurricanes take the field for the first time in the 2026 season this weekend, granted on a weird day for college football on the West Coast against ACC opponent Stanford.
That combination of words isn't as wild as last year's run through the College Football Playoff and all the way to the national championship game. Now Mario Cristobal is ready to secure the program's sixth ****** le with quarterback Darian Mensah and jack-of-all-trades receiver Malachi Toney as his big stars. The restructured defensive front built around run-stuffing defensive tackle Ahmad Moten and former Missouri edge rusher Damon Wilson has a lot to live up to.
They'll get their first test against Stanford, who opened last week with an exciting 37-27 win over Hawaii. Davis Warren, who missed last season after tearing his ACL with Michigan, threw for 310 yards and a touchdown in his debut with the Cardinal, while Micah Ford ran for three TDs and came just shy of 100 yards. This will be Miami's first game in California since East Coast fans woke up to find Cam Ward had led a thrilling 25-point second-half comeback in 2024 over Cal.

It was probably not a coincidence that at the exact four week mark when the puck drops on the new season, the Canes sent out a post with news on how fans will be able to watch the other 72 games that aren't on national TV this year.
The local entity broadcasting the games will be called the Hurricanes Hockey Network. It was also announced everyone that Hurricanes fans had come to enjoy on screen will officially be back for the 2026-27 season. Mike Maniscalco and Tripp Tracy had been announced prior, but the release made official that Shane Willis and Hanna Yates would also grace the screen during the broadcasts.
That Willis is back isn't a surprise as he was a Hurricanes employee already. Yates, however, is the news as prior to this season she was actually an employee not of the Hurricanes but of the entity that broadcast the games—Main Street Sports, last known by FanDuel Sports Network. For her to continue to appear on the broadcasts, she would have had to become a Hurricanes employee—something that was up in the air as Tom Dundon is known for being, shall we say, thrifty when it comes to the number of people he'll hire when he hast to.
That said it isn't that much of a narrative changer for Dundon. The release mentions that VP of Communications Mike Sundheim will add managing "all aspects of production, distribution, sales and marketing for HHN, in coordination with the National Hockey League." In short he'll still do all the work he did before and add more to his plate. Yates also will be doing more than just appearing on the broadcast as she added digital host to her **** le, so it's possible we'll see her a lot more on the official team videos that are sent out across social media platforms.
Unfortunately in terms of news, that was it for the communication and that leaves unanswered a huge question: how to watch? The only acknowledgement of how fans would be able to watch this new Hurricanes Hockey Network came at the bottom of the release:

Happy Monday, y'all. And…IT'S A MIAMI HURRICANES GAME WEEK!!!
The long offseason is over. We made it. So, that said, let's get to it.
1) Yes, we'll get to the Stanford game, but I wanted to get to something else first. What a day yesterday for drafted Miami Hurricanes in the NFL.
NINE players were drafted by NFL teams back in April. One of Miami's best draft days in a long time.
But, despite being drafted, you still have to earn a spot on the roster. And guess what? 8 of 9 Canes made their team's 53-man roster. EIGHT! And the ninth, Anez Cooper, was placed on injured reserve designated to return after a strong preseason. So, basically all nine made it. Even CJ Daniels, a Rams 7th round pick, made the team, who is the odds-on favorite to win it all this year.

Bill Belichick came to Ireland looking to change the narrative around his second UNC season, and he left with a different kind of headline.
North Carolina opened its season against TCU, the same team that handed the Tar Heels a lopsided 48-14 defeat last September. This time the storyline shifted before the final whistle. A new moment involving Belichick and a sideline reporter has fans talking for reasons that go beyond the scoreboard.
As North Carolina Tar Heels and TCU headed toward their locker rooms at halftime inside Dublin's Aviva Stadium, an ESPN reporter stepped into Belichick's path with a microphone, hoping for his read on the first two quarters. The 74-year-old coach did not slow down.
He kept walking toward the tunnel while she matched his pace beside him, and neither one raised their voice. There was no shove and no shouting match, just a coach who chose silence over a sound bite.

Notre Dame football has a fantastic 2027 recruiting class, with four 5-star commits in the 247Sports composite, but it could have been more and might still have a chance at adding another.
At one time it seemed like Florida linebacker Kaden Henderson would commit to the Irish, but ended up picking Texas A&M instead. It's the one position that Notre Dame has struggled with in the cycle, but it looks like there's potential to change Henderson's mind.
According to a report by 247Sports Cade Draughon (subscription required), Henderson told him "Miami and Notre Dame are the only schools that'll be talking to me still. But yeah, my recruitment is pretty set, pretty much shut down." While it's not a wide open door, it does seem like the elite linebacker hasn't completely ruled out a flip.
He's clearly still talking to the Irish and Hurricanes, which tend you to think there's at least a slight chance for him to flip. Notre Dame should continue to recruit Henderson, even if he does shut down, he's that good at a need position in the class.

Where to watch Columbus vs. Bishop Gorman football: Channel, live stream, kickoff time for high school game originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
A week after taking down the No. 1 team in the country, Bishop Gorman has ascended to the top spot and will travel cross-country for its next marquee game.
The Gaels' first game atop the MaxPreps national rankings will be in Miami on Saturday against Columbus, the perennial multi-sport powerhouse. The Explorers opened their season last week with a 45-7 rout of Southridge, while Gorman took down St. John Bosco 38-28.
Gorman's junior quarterback Ace Amina threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns last week, but the Gaels have plenty of star power on defense, too, including senior four-star corners Hayden Stepp (Oregon commit) and Kamil Loud (Cal).
The player to watch for Columbus is five-star athlete A'mir Sears, who is committed to the hometown Hurricanes as a corner but could also end up getting receiver reps in college.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a couple of weeks to their regular-season opener. That leaves Tampa Bay with roughly two-and-a-half weeks to manage any injuries before the regular-season opener. This reality drew widespread concerns after first-round pick Rueben Bain Jr. suffered a sprain during practice.
Fortunately, recent reports regarding Bain claim the Buccaneers have little to worry about. According to an NFL insider, the injury is considered "nothing serious," and Bain is expected to be available when Tampa Bay opens the regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals next month.

Bain participated in Tuesday's joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars before sitting out Wednesday's session. While his absence naturally raised questions, the latest diagnosis on his AC joint sprain provides the Buccaneers with considerable relief, ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter reports.
AC joint sprains can be particularly uncomfortable for defensive linemen and linebackers because their positions require them to engage blockers and absorb contact with their shoulders. However, the current **** sment suggests Bain should have enough time to recover.

Aug. 29 marks 21 years since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in 2005. I had gone to New Orleans expecting a fun weekend with my parents. Instead, I ended up trapped inside a hotel during one of the most devastating hurricanes in U.S. history.
At the time, I had no idea the experience would change the way I prepare for emergencies for the rest of my life. Katrina remains the costliest hurricane in U.S. history and one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.
For me, though, the story began before the flooding. As Katrina grew stronger in the Gulf, I realized we needed to get out of New Orleans. I got my parents onto what I remember as the last flight out. My dad even offered me his ticket because I still had no way out. I told him to get on the plane. Then I headed to a rental car company. That plan fell apart fast.
There were about a hundred people there trying to do exactly what I was trying to do. So I eventually returned to the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans after being told it was extremely well-prepared for a hurricane. I was told it had upgraded windows, generator power and plenty of food. I should not have gone back.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian residents of war-battered Gaza fled homes and businesses as Israeli strikes and tank fire killed at least four people Monday, including two children, hospital officials said, a week after a U.S. delegation asked Israel to draw down attacks.
After evacuation warnings by Israel's military, a strike hit a building in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. One family was unable to flee and a 4-year-old child was killed, according to Awda Hospital, where he was taken. His mother and sister were wounded. There was no Israeli military comment.
Israeli strikes hit three other buildings across the territory after residents said they received evacuation warnings. Some people sprinted away, with mothers carrying children, while others moved amid the rubble in wheelchairs or with canes.
Smoke rose over the already devastated landscape.
Israel's military said it carried out strikes in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City and in Deir al-Balah after issuing warnings, targeting what it described as two Hamas weapons storage facilities inside mosques. The military did not provide evidence but said the facilities contained dozens of "Kalashnikov rifles, magazines and additional military equipment."
