The sixth-ranked Hurricanes return to Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night to face a Central Michigan team listed as a six-touchdown underdog.
The Central Michigan Chippewas visit the Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Saturday night in a Week 4 college football matchup. The game is Miami's second non-conference contest of the season.
Miami enters the game ranked sixth in the country and is considered among the teams with the strongest odds to win the national championship. Central Michigan arrives as a heavy underdog, with betting lines listing the Chippewas as roughly six-touchdown underdogs.
The Hurricanes are playing their first game back at home after time away from Hard Rock Stadium, where their season opener against Florida A&M was played on September 10. Miami's most recent action came against Wake Forest in ACC play.
Miami has named six captains for the game: defensive lineman Armondo Blount, offensive tackle Matthew McCoy, quarterback Darian Mensah, safety Zechariah Poyser, wide receiver Malachi Toney, and linebacker Mo Toure.
The Hurricanes will wear an all-green look for the contest, pairing green jerseys with green pants and traditional white helmets. The team also recently introduced reimagined 2001 retro throwback uniforms from adidas, described by the program as a tribute to past Hurricanes teams.
The apparel rollout follows adidas's promised premium marketing and apparel treatment of Miami, which the program had been awaiting for roughly 12 years, according to the original report.
Given the wide betting spread, the expectation heading into the night is that Miami controls the game and uses the opportunity to give younger players game experience once the outcome is settled.
Fans can watch Central Michigan at Miami on Saturday, September 26 at 6:30 PM EDT, with the game airing on The CW.
