Miami Football Coach Mario Cristobal seizes the 'chance' of starting off against No. 6 Notre Dame as the No. 10 ranked team
As the 2025 college football season kicks off, all eyes will be on the Miami Hurricanes and their new starting quarterback, Carson Beck. The Georgia transfer is expected to lead the Hurricanes in their season opener against preseason No. 6-ranked Notre Dame, a game that presents a significant opportunity for both teams.
Beck, who has played in more than his share of games defined by monumental opportunities, is eager to prove he can still win the big one with the Miami Hurricanes. Head coach Mario Cristobal has vowed to keep the team focused on the first game of the season, stating that the opportunity to play Notre Dame is significant for the Miami program.
In preparation for the game, Beck believes that proper preparation is essential to perform at the best level. He has been working hard to ensure that the Miami Hurricanes' offense will perform better, leading to more positive plays and scoring. Cristobal, in turn, has asked Beck not to be a superhero but simply the "best version of himself."
The Hurricanes will need Beck's best performance, as Notre Dame finished the previous season ranked No. 11 in total defense. Beck's ability to balance passing with the running game will be crucial in Miami's offensive scheme, which suits his skillset.
Beck's tenure with the Bulldogs ended with a right UCL injury in the SEC Championship game on Dec. 7, 2024. Despite the injury, Beck stated he's operating without limitations. He is looking forward to playing football and having fun with the Miami Hurricanes.
A win against Notre Dame could help the No. 10 Hurricanes gain visibility in the 2025 season. While a prediction video emphasized the importance of Beck rebounding early in the season to help Miami achieve a successful record and possibly enhance his NFL draft stock, specific details on his actual performance in the Notre Dame opener are not available yet.
The game against Notre Dame will take place in Miami Gardens, and Cristobal spoke about the upcoming game with ACC Network's Kelly Gramlich and Eric Mac Lain. The Hurricanes must resist the urge to put too much emphasis on the game against Notre Dame, as the season is a marathon, not a sprint. But for now, the focus is on the first game of the season, and Miami fans are eager to see what Beck can bring to the table.
