Miami Hurricanes Ranked No. 2 After Historic Wins, Coach Cristobal Keeps Team Grounded
Miami Hurricanes have climbed to No. 2 in the AP Top 25 rankings, their highest position since 2002. They've become the first team to defeat three AP-ranked opponents this season. Despite recent victories, the team and coach Mario Cristobal remain focused on improvement.
Quarterback Carson Beck believes there's still room for growth, even after Miami's impressive start. The team is 5-0, including a 1-0 record in ACC play, following wins over in-state rivals Florida and Florida State. Cristobal, who played for two of Miami's national championship teams, wants to blend the principles of the past with modern football strategies. He acknowledges the team's progress but stresses there's a long way to go. Defensive lineman Rueben Bain Jr., who transferred from Oregon, has contributed to Miami's success.
Miami Hurricanes, after securing a 'state title' win against Florida State, are now heading into a bye week. Despite their impressive ranking and victories, the team and coach Cristobal insist there's much to improve upon as they look towards their next challenges.
