The 14th-ranked Miami Hurricanes (1-0) will look to get back to business in College Football Week 4 when they host the dangerous Toledo Rockets (3-0) in their first game since their regular season opener on September 2.
Like a lot of South Florida-based teams, Miami has been off the field for a couple of weeks because Hurricane Irma. If you want to know if the Canes can get the win to keep their playoff hopes alive while covering the College Football spread against the Rockets, then let’s find out right now.
Wide receiver Cody Thompson caught nine passes for 178 yards and three touchdowns while fellow wideout Dionte Johnson added four catches for 142 yards and two scores. For the season, Woodside is completing 65.9 percent of his passes for 1,004 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception. Toledo’s play this season has gotten the attention of Miami and head coach Mark Richt.
“Obviously, offensively they’re very, very good at what they do,” Richt said. “They can put a lot of points on the board.”
“This is a very fast-paced offense,” said Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, who hopes depth will give Miami’s an edge. “They’re going to come after us. We have the ability to play multiple people at every position, which is going to help us regardless of if we have played or have not played over the last couple weeks.”

Why Bet Miami Hurricane Odds at -13.5?
Miami is playing their first game since their opener because of Hurricane Irma, but they pounded overmatched Bethune-Cookman 41-13 in their opener as quarterback Malik Rosier completed 17-of-28 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns while running back Mark Walton rushed 16 times for 148 yards and two touchdowns and wide receiver Darrell Langham caught three balls for 65 yards and one score. Even with their time off, Toledo coach Jason Candle knows the Hurricanes are extremely talented – and dangerous. “I see a team that’s built on players from South Florida,” Candle said. “Lot of speed. They play fast on defense. They’re running to the football and getting to you with bad intentions when they do get to the ball. And on offense there’s a multitude of guys that can score from anywhere. They’ve got a tremendous back in Mark Walton and some good receivers on the perimeter that can score it.” Senior wide receiver Braxton Berrios said he and his teammates simply want to get back to playing football. “From a football aspect, it’s very frustrating,” Berrios said. “Never in my life, since I started playing football at 7 or 8, have I had a period of time where we do nothing and are just sitting around on Thursday, on Friday and on Saturday, and we are just watching all those games and knowing that could be you. It’s frustrating, to say the least.”Team Statistics
