MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Goal 1: accomplished.
The Miami Hurricanes put in the work Saturday, just like their new and already beloved coach Mario Cristobal demanded. The byproduct: a 70-13 victory against overmatched and overwhelmed FCS-member Bethune-Cookman University.
Another era of University of Miami football began in old-school Hurricanes form: temperatures sweltering in the 90s, the announced Hard Rock Stadium crowd of 56,795 thrilled by big plays and UM scoring on its first five drives.
