Paul Finebaum gives Hurricanes high praise ‘I really believe it’s time for The U to return’
Paul Finebaum said on his show earlier today that Miami is ready to return to national prominence in this upcoming season.
Here is what Finebaum had to say about the Hurricanes:
“Not only next week but all season long, I believe in the Hurricanes,” Paul Finebaum said. “It has been a rough couple of years for Mario Cristobal. Remember he moved over from Oregon to try to resurrect that program down there. Now, he’s about the third coach in a row that’s tried to do that, but they have the tools this year.”
Paul also said that the Hurricanes was an underrated team at the No. 19 spot in the AP poll rankings:
“I think it’s Miami,” Paul Finebaum said. “They lost four games last year at the buzzer, one that the head coach Mario Cristobal simply gave away. Remember that game against Georgia Tech? They open the season at Florida and they’re gonna make Jeff Darlington [Florida graduate] a very unhappy man that first weekend. He’s gonna have to go back to the toilet looking for an iguana.”
“Paul and I agree, it’s definitely Miami. Mario Cristobal has done an excellent job of recruiting. This is arguably the most talented team in the ACC. Paul is right, though, no one is ever going to forget that Georgia Tech game. Take a knee, please,” Dinich said.

Leonard Taylor standing out in the NFL Preseason games for the Jets
Former Miami Hurricane defensive lineman Leonard Taylor just wrapped up his last preseason game and after those games he could definitely solidify himself as a backup for the Jets on the defensive line.
According to reports, the Jets viewed the final week of training camp as their last opportunity to secure a roster spot, and it appears that two New York Jets players capitalized on this opportunity.
Second-year running back Israel Abanikanda and undrafted rookie defensive tackle Leonard Taylor were not initially considered as roster contenders at the commencement of training camp. However, it is speculated that both players may have successfully secured their positions during the preseason finale match against the New York Giants.
