It’s Miami Hurricanes game day! The Canes face the Texas A&M Aggies on the road in the first big test of the Mario Cristobal era. Miami has a special quarterback in Tyler Van Dyke, can he make the difference in a close game? The Aggies have made a quarterback switch from Haynes King to Max Johnson. Could Johnson exploit Miami in pass coverage? Miami will need to put constant pressure on him with Leonard Taylor, Akheem Mesidor, Nyjalik Kelly, Darrell Jackson and the rest of their top D-linemen. 
Host Alex Donno gives his final matchup predictions and keys. Special teams will be a huge factor in this game, assuming it’s close. If Andy Borregales can keep booming his kickoffs for touchbacks and punter Lou Hedley pins the Aggies deep as much as possible, these “hidden yards” could make the difference. Miami’s offensive line will need to sustain the progress they have made under Mario Cristobal and OL coach Alex Mirabal. Having left tackle Zion Nelson back to 100% will be big. 
Donno reads some great tweets and YouTube comments from listeners on their biggest keys to the game and concerns heading in. Will Miami be able to tackle consistently? Which receivers will step up in place of the injured Xavier Restrepo? Miami will hope for big contributions from Brashard Smith and Michael Redding.
