Coach Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes got a taste of the Sun Belt’s excellent Saturday stretch when Southern Miss stuck with Miami longer than expected. Their opponent this week, Texas A&M, caught the full brunt when Appalachian State upset the Aggies at home.
“I don’t think you can be surprised by that anymore,” Cristobal said on “The Joe Rose Show” Monday morning on WQAM. “Everybody has good players, and if you think, as a coach or a player, that you have the best players— you’re out of your mind and you’re fixing to get beat.”
Miami struggled early against Southern Miss, falling behind in the first half and only going ahead 10-7 at halftime. The Hurricanes made adjustments at halftime and put up 27 unanswered points from their late first-half touchdown through the end of the game.
