Stanford Cardinal
Stanford’s 20-13 win over Florida State marked a turning point for coach Frank Reich’s squad. Running back Cole Tabb rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown, earning ACC Rookie of the Week honors and providing balance to an offense averaging 19 points per game.
Quarterback Ben Gulbranson has faced heavy pressure behind a shaky offensive line that has allowed 21 sacks this season. He’s thrown for 1,148 yards and six touchdowns but will face one of the ACC’s most aggressive defensive fronts in Miami.
The Cardinal defense has been opportunistic, ranking second nationally in interceptions and sixth in fumbles recovered. That ability to force turnovers is their best hope to stay within reach of the Hurricanes on the road.

Miami Hurricanes
Miami looks to regain rhythm after its 24-21 home loss to Louisville ended the team’s perfect start. Quarterback Carson Beck struggled with four interceptions, finishing with 271 passing yards and no touchdowns — his first game this season without a scoring throw.
Coach Mario Cristobal has emphasized discipline and execution after the setback, particularly in the run game and red-zone offense. Running back Mark Fletcher Jr. leads the Hurricanes with 446 rushing yards and six touchdowns, while wideout Malachi Toney has tallied 510 receiving yards and three scores.
Defensively, Miami remains elite. The Hurricanes rank top 20 nationally in sacks (13) and interceptions (5). Edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. continues to be a disruptive force up front, anchoring a unit that should dominate the line of scrimmage against Stanford’s battered offensive line.
