Florida’s Miami Gardens — Even though Miami won 70–13, some regrettable information was received from Coral Gables, Florida. Head coach Mario Cristobal said on Saturday night that wide receiver Isaiah Horton would miss one game, wide receiver Jacolby George would miss two games, and safety Jalen Harrell would miss two games.

These sanctions were imposed prior to Miami’s season opening, therefore Horton is cleared to play against Southern Mississippi on Saturday, September 10, and George and Harrell are available for UM’s Week 3 clash against Texas A&M on September 17 away from home.

Jaylan Knighton, the running back, was benched for the game on Saturday due to safety concerns. The South Florida native is reportedly battling with a soft-tissue injury, according to Cristobal. Although the running back warmed up at first, by the beginning of the game, he was on the sidelines wearing shorts.

Leonard Taylor, a sophomore who faced the Wildcats and began, was hurt. The defensive lineman experienced a “stinger,” according to Cristobal, but he will be fine going forward.

Miami’s starting center, Jakai Clark, was also injured and had to leave the game, but Cristobal said Clark was “okay.”

Oregon switch When Clark was sidelined, Jonathan Denis took care of center duties for Miami. The only UM fumble of the game came via a snap exchange error by redshirt freshman quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.

Miami’s offense line had a productive day under Clark’s leadership. The unit helped the Hurricanes running backs dash for seven touchdowns—a contemporary school record—while without allowing a single sack.
