“Dropped balls, penalties in the next to last drive. Not good enough. We’ve got to do a better job as a supporting cast [to help Van Dyke],” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said postgame. “We have to get better.”

“Each and every year, the Atlantic Coast Conference features some of the best teams and finest players in the nation. This season will be no different,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “Everyone in our program enjoys the challenges this conference presents on a nightly basis and we will be ready for that once league play begins. In addition, we’re thrilled to have so many quality opponents coming to Coral Gables and cannot wait to see the Watsco Center rocking with excitement.”

“We are 1-0 for the week, that’s your goal, but we certainly want to play more polished, more precise football.” Cristobal said. “We need to practice better, and we’ve got to keep coaching better.”

“The entire team is disappointed in that, of course,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said. “These are the lessons we have to experience.”

“When you play a team as disruptive as they are, you make sure that your team is playing disciplined football and taking care of business as it relates to us.” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said to reporters on Wednesday about playing the Golden Eagles.

To say ‘Canes football dominated on Saturday afternoon would be a massive understatement. While most Hurricanes fans expected a win in head coach Mario Cristobal’s debut, no one anticipated a 70-13 thumping of Bethune-Cookman at Hard Rock Stadium.

“Front to back, I thought we defended well,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said. “Every single person who came into the game gave us good moments. We can always get better, but there are a lot of positives to take away against an aggressive offensive team. For us, it’s about raising our level on the offensive end, getting more production.”

Miami Hurricanes football head coach Mario Cristobal announced on Thursday, July 21 that the famous turnover chain will no longer be a part of the program. The turnover chain, a staple part of the Miami defense for the past five years, was worn by a defensive player that had forced a turnover the previous play. However, after an underwhelming 2021 season and the transition to a new head coach, the chain is set to be retired.

It has only been about seven months since Cristobal was hired, but the announcement of his arrival has already had exciting impacts for Hurricanes Football, specifically in the quality recruiting that has happened since the former Florida International and Oregon head coach took over.

"You guys are getting a beast, a coachable player, willing to learn, not afraid of anything," Wayne said in a message to Miami fans.
