The No. 12-ranked Hurricanes (7-1) next face Wake Forest on Dec. 5. Their schedule was shaken up earlier this week after Miami had several players out during last Saturday’s win over Virginia Tech.
The ACC announced Monday that three Miami games were being shifted because of COVID-19, including a matchup against Georgia Tech that had been set for this Saturday.
The Hurricanes’ three remaining regular-season games are now at Wake Forest on Dec. 5; against North Carolina on Dec. 12; and against Georgia Tech on Dec. 19.
