What you need to know about Miami
The Hurricanes haven't been tested in a serious manner during their first two games of the season but they have looked effective on both sides of the ball in each of their two tune-ups. The offense is averaging 50.0 points per game and ranks seventh nationally while the defense has allowed just 291.5 yards and 10.0 points per game.
Henry Parrish Jr. and Thaddius Franklin Jr. have provided a dynamic one-two punch at running back, with Parrish rushing for 217 yards and four touchdowns while Franklin has 127 yards on the ground and three scores. Meanwhile, the defense has managed to force six turnovers over the first two weeks of the season with sophomore safety Kamren Kinchens producing an interception and a fumble recovery.
What you need to know about Texas A&M
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 7-7 at halftime, but the Aggies couldn't hold off Appalachian State Mountaineers in the second half when they met last Saturday. A&M fell just short of Appalachian State by a score of 17-14. One thing holding A&M back was the mediocre play of quarterback Haynes King, who did not have his best game: he passed for only 97 yards on 20 attempts. As a result, they will start Max Johnson at QB this week.
The loss knocked the Aggies from No. 6 in the Top 25 poll to No. 24. It was also just A&M's second loss in 12 all-time games against a Sun Belt opponent, joining a 2008 defeat to Arkansas State. Texas A&M is struggling on offense, ranking outside the top 100 in scoring, but its defense is as strong as ever and ranks 13th in points allowed per game.
