I'm not impressed with Miami coach Mario Cristobal. The Hurricanes covered exactly one game last year during his first season as head coach with them. Cristobal is back, but Miami is breaking in new coordinators on both sides of the ball. 

The Hurricanes also have a much bigger game on deck when they host Texas A&M in Week 2. I doubt they'll want to show much in this game.
Miami of Ohio is a legitimate sleeper in the MAC. The RedHawks could have the best defense in their conference. They return 16 starts, including nine on defense.

The RedHawks' offense should be improved with a healthy Brett Gabbert at quarterback. He played only four games last year. 
Miami will be satisfied with a victory. I don't see the blowout that this point spread projects.
