Miami's Defense Looking to Start Strong in Week 1 Against Stanford
The Miami defense will look to slow Stanford to kick off the season. The game takes place on Friday at Stanford Stadium. The Hurricanes' defense was a great unit last season, allowing just 294.1 yards and 14.8 points per game. The unit is led by defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, who ended up being a finalist for the Broyles Award last year, which goes to the nation's top assistant coach. Like most teams, Miami will have some new players on defense, but after the team's run to the title game, high-end talents joined the roster, with several high-end transfers included. Stanford will be a decent test for the seventh-ranked Hurricanes, but after averaging just 306.5 yards and 19 points per game offensively, Miami's defense looks primed for a big showing in Week 1. The Miami DEF is a good fantasy piece to start the season, and in this matchup, it's fair to expect a good fantasy score by the end of the contest.
