The game will be broadcast on Local 10 in South Florida.

Canes Head Coach Mario Cristobal admitted that the passing attack has regressed as the season went on.

Tyler Van Dyke threw 3 interceptions in Miami’s 20-6 loss at N.C. State.

Cristobal was asked if he’s considered benching Van Dyke.

Cristobal said, “I appreciate the question. I would respectfully said this. Just from a game-planning standpoint and a team dynamic standpoint, I wouldn’t use this forum to discuss a move, especially at that position because it affects so many different things.”

Cristobal said there is competition at every position all the time.

Cristobal said Miami’s regression in the passing game is due to a number of factors.

Cristobal said it’s related to the running game, protection, and route running.

The Canes coach said fixing the passing game is a top priority for Miami.

Miami is 6-3 on the season.

Florida State is currently 9-0.
