The 'Canes are back in the win column! After a sluggish start and four straight punts, Miami unleashed a 38-10 thrashing of Fran Brown's Syracuse Orange at Hard Rock Stadium.

From there, it was a blur!---The Freshman Fire: How Upshaw's big play woke up the Hurricane attack and led to 31 points in the middle two quarters.The Pick-Six Party: We celebrate Keionte Scott's 38-yard pick-six, which came just 23 seconds after the first score, instantly turning a tight game into a two-score lead.Defense Dominates: Miami's defense was lights out, forcing **three total takeaways** (2 INTs, 1 FR), racking up seven sacks, and holding the Orange to just 285 total yards.Trickery in The U: Don't miss the breakdown of Carson Beck's 14-yard touchdown reception on the trick-play throw-back from Malachi Toney!---Key Stats You Need to Know: *Carson Beck: 18-of-24 passing, 247 yards, 1 TD pass, 1 TD catch. * Keelan Marion: 3 receptions, 116 yards, including a 61-yard TD. *Akheem Mesidor: Led the pass rush with 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. * The 'Canes committed zero turnovers for a crucial performance improvement.---Fran Brown and the Orange just didn't deserve to get washed in Miami Gardens (literally, according to his "winners get washed" rule!), and we talk about what this bounce-back win means for the rest of the season.Press Play and Go 'Canes!---#UHeard #ItsAllAboutTheU #GoCanes #MiamiHurricanes #CanesFootball #ACC #CollegeFootball #TheU #FranBrown #DaylynUpshaw #PickSix #HardRockStadium

U Heard is back, and we're bringing the noise! This week, we dive into the future of the Defensive Line as we talk to new DL commit, the 6'3", 260-pound monster Keshawn Stancil from Clayton High School in Clayton, NC!The four-star prospect, who is ranked as high as the No. 9 defensive lineman nationally, opens up about his intense recruiting experience and what his first impression of the Miami campus in Coral Gables was really like. Spoiler: It sounds like "The U" made a lasting impact! Stancil, who logged a massive 63 tackles, 22 TFL, and nine sacks last season, is ready to bring his disruptive game to THE U!Revenge, Rallies, and QB Carson BeckWe then pivot to the field as the Hurricanes prepare for their next ACC battle against the **Syracuse Orange**. While this is a new year and a new team led by QB Carson Beck (who has thrown for 1,947 yards and 14 TDs this season with a 72.5% completion rate), the memory of the last matchup still stings.Last year, Miami squandered a huge lead, eventually falling 42-38 to the Orange in a loss defined by self-inflicted wounds. The Hurricanes put up 503 yards of offense**, but were undone by a staggering 9 penalties for 77 yards and a crucial fumble-six. Can this 2025 team, under Beck's direction, find a way back to being a stable, disciplined team and ensure the only fireworks are on the scoreboard, not in the penalty count?Tune in as we break down the path to a disciplined victory and a clean sheet against the Orange!#UHeard #GoCanes #ItsAllAboutTheU #MiamiHurricanes #CaneGang #DLCommit #KeshawnStancil #CarsonBeck #ACCFootball #SyracuseOrange

We're going to need a stiff drink, folks. The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes went to Dallas for their first out-of-state game of the season. It delivered a performance so sloppy, so gut-wrenchingly undisciplined, that it felt like a time warp back to the dark ages of The U. The final score: SMU 26, Miami 20 (OT), but the real damage was done by the Hurricanes themselves.Join us as we examine the harsh reality of this overtime collapse. We talk about the 12 penalties for 96 yards—including the baffling Unnecessary Roughness call on a player who hit the QB *after* a timeout was called, which gifted SMU a crucial first down to tie the game in regulation. You literally can't make this stuff up!Stat Sheet Shame:Carson Beck's Interceptions: Two costly picks, including the back-breaker in overtime just short of the goal line by Ahmaad Moses. Beck finished with 274 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. Ouch.The Run Game Mismatch: The Hurricanes ran for 159 yards on 40 attempts, while the much-maligned SMU run game was held to a pitiful 23 net yards** (including their OT possession). And yet, Miami still lost.Final Drive Fail: We're still questioning the end-of-regulation decision to kneel with 25 seconds left and a timeout. Was the loss sealed by the players' lack of composure or the head coach's baffling clock management?We get witty, we get angry, and most importantly, we get real about what this devastating loss means for the team's playoff and ACC title hopes. This wasn't a loss of talent; it was a loss of control. It's time for some soul-searching in Coral Gables.---Don't miss the fire!
