Analysts project improved offense for Miami ahead of Notre Dame matchup

Miami enters the season with expectations of a high-performing offense despite significant losses to the NFL draft. Key departures include quarterback Carson Beck, offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa, linemen Markel Bell and Anez Cooper, and wide receiver CJ Daniels. Despite these exits, 247Sports analyst Brad Crawford characterizes the current roster as the most complete offensive unit under head coach Mario Cristobal. The group features transfer quarterback Darian Mensah and incoming 5-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell. Miami secured a 27-24 win against Notre Dame last fall before eventually reaching the College Football Playoff title game. Notre Dame seeks a win against the Hurricanes this year as the team aims to utilize a defense considered among the national leaders to limit Miami’s scoring options.
