What to Know

C. Michigan is staring down a pretty large disadvantage in the point spread for Saturday's game. They will take on Miami (Fla.) on the road at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. These two teams have set a high bar for this matchup after stand-out offensive performances in their previous contests.

After a disappointing zero points in their last contest, the Chippewas made sure to put some points up on the board against Akron last week. C. Michigan blew past Akron 45-24. C. Michigan's RB Kobe Lewis was one of the most active players for the team as he rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries. Lewis didn't help his team much against Wisconsin two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Meanwhile, Miami (Fla.) kept a clean sheet against Bethune-Cook. Miami (Fla.) took their contest with ease, bagging a 63-nothing victory over Bethune-Cook. With the Hurricanes ahead 28-nothing at the half, the game was all but over already.

Their wins bumped the Chippewas to 2-1 and the Hurricanes to 1-2. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Chippewas are 16th worst in the nation in passing yards allowed per game, with 293.70 on average. On the other hand, Miami (Fla.) enters the matchup with only 69.30 rushing yards allowed per game on average, good for eighth best in the nation. So the C. Michigan squad has its work cut out for it.
