Miami Hurricanes Football Preview 2025: Prediction, Win Total, Top 10 Players, Keys to the Season

The team was able to overcome its sins, for the most part, but the nine penalties for 110 yards made the Cal game more of a fight than it should've been. The nine flags for 90 yards were a killer in the loss to Syracuse. Miami Hurricanes Key Player Raul Aguirre, LB Mauigoa tackled everything. He made 238 stops, 13 sacks, and 35 tackles for loss over the last three seasons - he'll be missed. The 230-pound Aguirre can work in any linebacking spot, but he should be a thumper on the inside. He might not be Mauigoa, but the defense needs him to make a whole lot of plays. Miami Hurricanes Top Transfer, Biggest Transfer Loss Top Transfer In: Carson Beck, QB were too many interceptions, too many empty drives, and too many misfires, but he still got Georgia to the SEC Championship game and played a half before injuring his 2023 version hit 72% of his passes for over 3,900 yards with 24 touchdowns and just six picks. If that Carson Beck shows up, look out. There might be a lot going on with him, but if he can grip-and-rip, he's got the talent to take Miami where Cam Ward didn' Transfer Out: Isaiah Horton, WR was just coming into his own after a 56-catch season with five touchdowns, and he would've been a good part of the Miami receiving corps, but he should blow up as more of a downfield threat in the Alabama attack.

Miami Hurricanes Offense Preview 2025: Can Carson Beck Keep the Attack Elite?
X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN 2025 Miami Preview Miami Offense BreakdownMiami Defense Breakdown Prediction, Top 10 Players, Win Total, Keys to Season - The entire point of the offense is to score … points. Duh. No one did it better last year than Miami, finishing No. 1 in the nation in total and scoring offense, first in third down conversions, and third in passing. There might be a few big replacements, but Miami is now one of those destination schools again for top talents like … - Carson Beck was a fantastic get. There were moments when the former Georgia quarterback was seriously considered a No. 1 overall draft pick talent. He had a weird year, got hurt in the SEC Championship, and now his elbow is should be fine well before the season, and if he's not ready, Emory Jones should be able to handle the work for a while. The O needs Beck to be great, though. - The top six pass catchers - including RB Damien Martinez and TE Elijah Arroyo - are gone to the NFL, or in the case of second-leading yardage guy Jacolby George, Alabama. The Hurricanes did some work of their own in the transfer portal, getting CJ Daniels (LSU) for the inside and Keelan Marion (BYU) and Tony Johnson (Cincinnati) to reload the position. Joshisa Trader and Ray Ray Joseph are veterans who can will be missed, but Elija Lofton might be even more explosive. He averaged close to 17 yards per grab at tight end, and Alex Bauman will be a factor after making 55 catches with 12 scores over the last two years at Tulane. - You don't play on a Mario Cristobal line unless you can block at a whole other level. Francis Mauigoa has top five overall draft pick talent at right tackle, and he's not alone among the transfer James Brockermyer is an instant fit at center, Anez Cooper is an all-star guard, and the spots on the left side should be terrific with Markel Bell ready to take on a full-time role at tackle and a rotation likely in fall camp for the guard gig.- Damien Martinez is off to the Seahawks after a 1,002-yard, ten touchdown season, but Mark Fletcher and Jordan Lyle combined for over 1,000 yards with 13 scores.

ESPN makes \
ESPN makes "wild prediction", has Georgia missing the College Football Playoff With the 2025 college football season less than 100 days away, the Georgia Bulldogs are expected to be near the top of the college football world again after winning the SEC championship in 2024. However, some predict that Georgia won't get anywhere close. In fact, according to a recent ESPN article with a few hot takes and crazy predictions, ESPN doesn't believe that Georgia will make the College Football Playoff. "For the better part of three seasons, the Bulldogs seemed invincible," said David Hale. "Only an injury-plagued one-score loss to Alabama in the 2023 SEC title game might have prevented Georgia from winning three straight national championships." Georgia enters the 2025 season with more modest expectations after losing a combined 36 players to the transfer portal and NFL draft this offseason. "And yet, by the end of 2024, it was clear some of the shine was off the once-dominant program. Carson Beck struggled without much help from his skill positions. The Dawgs lost to Alabama, were whooped by Ole Miss, and nearly fell to Georgia Tech before escaping in eight overtimes," continued Hale. Georgia's season ended with a rough loss to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The Bulldogs will look to regroup in 2025, but will have to do so with Gunner Stockton at quarterback and have to replace a ton of departing talent in the trenches. Georgia had a daunting schedule in 2024, with almost all of the marquee matchups taking place on the road, which something Kirby Smart called out after the SEC championship game. Now, almost all of those top-ranked rematches take place in Athens, but it's still a tough schedule nonetheless. Georgia plays five teams in Joel Klatt's top 25 (No. 2 Texas, No. 9 Alabama, No. 13 Florida, No. 20 Ole Miss and No. 22 Auburn), showing how tough their schedule is expected to be. With the transition at quarterback and the amount of defensive talent Georgia lost from last year, Georgia could be heading towards a rebuilding year. Then again, there's a reason why it's a hot take. Georgia won against three teams (Clemson, Texas (twice), Tennessee) that made the CFP last year, and their two regular season losses came against teams that barely missed (Alabama, Ole Miss). They also won the SEC despite playing down to competition against Kentucky, Mississippi State, Florida, and Georgia Tech. ESPN's Heather Dinich also puts Georgia as No. 5 in the section of the "10 projected first-round bye teams" in the same article, so it is clear that they're playing both sides of the argument. However, there's definitely mixed preseason expectations for Georgia this fall.

Joel Klatt includes Carson Beck in top 10 quarterback rankings
Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt released his top 10 quarterbacks rankings on YouTube. Since it's a little over two months before the college football season kicks off, he ranked the top 10 quarterbacks entering the season. Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck made the top 10 rankings with the Miami Hurricanes. Klatt believes that he's giving Beck the benefit of the doubt, not blaming Beck for all the problems with the 2024 UGA passing offense. Georgia had 35 dropped passes last season, which was tough for the Georgia offense to deal with. However, Klatt believes that Beck turned the ball over too much. Advertisement Klatt believes the UCL injury Beck suffered in the SEC championship could still affect Beck in 2025. He hasn't thrown all offseason until recently, and he hasn't had a ton of time with his receivers to develop chemistry in spring ball. Klatt also believes that Beck has had some off the field distractions. However, despite all of that, Klatt believes that Beck is a really good player, which is why he believes Beck will be among the best quarterbacks in the country. Last season, Beck threw 3,485 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions on 448 attempts. There are a lot of varying opinions on Beck, but he has a lot to prove in 2025.

No. 10: Carson Beck, Miami No. 9: Luke Altmyer, Illinois No. 8: LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina No. 7: DJ Lagway, Florida No. 6: Garrett Nussmeier, LSU No. 5: Drew Allar, Penn State No. 4: Sam Leavitt, Arizona State No. 3: John Mateer, Oklahoma No. 2: Arch Manning, Texas No. 1: Cade Klubnik, Clemson This article originally appeared on UGA Wire: Joel Klatt puts former UGA QB Carson Beck in his top 10 QB rankings

ESPN's SP+ reveals post-spring ranking for Georgia football
The Georgia Bulldogs lost 13 players to the 2025 NFL draft and four more players went undrafted. UGA also lost 19 players via the transfer portal including starting quarterback Carson Beck and edge rusher Damon Wilson, who are both ranked among the country's best transfers. In total, 36 Georgia player left the program. Georgia's 2025 preseason expectations have a lot of variance due to the significant amount of roster turnover the Bulldogs experienced this offseason. Georgia is expected to start quarterback Gunner Stockton this fall. Stockton impressed at times during the SEC championship, against Notre Dame and in Georgia's spring game. He brings experience, humility and toughness to the Georgia quarterback room, but is not expected to be among the best passers in the country. Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton (14) runs on the field prior to the start of the Georgia Spring game at Sanford Stadium. Still, despite Georgia's uncertainty, ESPN's SP+ metric thinks the Bulldogs could be in for a big season. SP+, which factors in returning production, recent recruiting and recent history, ranks Georgia fourth in the country and second in the SEC behind Alabama. Advertisement SP+ ranks Georgia's special teams as the best in the country. The Dawgs return starting punter Brett Thorson (recovering from a torn ACL) and kicker Peyton Woodring. Both were All-SEC selections in 2024. SP+ ranks Georgia's offense as the eight-best offense in the country. It ranks Georgia's defense as the fourth-best defense in the nation. If Georgia has a top 10 unit on offense, defense and special teams this fall, then the Bulldogs will be national championship contenders. Georgia fans can expect to see a lot of new players on the Bulldogs in 2025, but SP+ has a lot of confidence in the new breed of Dawgs. Georgia faces an easy start to the 2025 college football season (home versus Marshall and then Austin Peay), so the Dawgs will have some time to adjust before they head on the road to play Tennessee in Week 3.
