Miami's best player went down with a shoulder injury in the season opener, didn't travel to Stanford, and the Hurricanes had to blank out the depth chart before tipoff — but then they annihilated Stanford anyway, so now nobody knows what to believe.

SITUATION REPORT
The Canes lost their star before the game even started and still blew out a ranked opponent, which is either the most Miami thing ever or a sign this team is actually dangerous. Copium is running high because winning ugly with half your roster healthy is technically still winning. The injury itself stings, but the 'we won without him' narrative is already doing heavy lifting in Miami's fanbase messaging.

“Kid can block, catch and of course run. I think he will be a major weapon by mid season.”

“It’s going to be like this all season. The standard they will be held to will be higher than anyone’s. Anything less than a blow out will be scrutinized. With the criticism of the “weak” schedule style points will be needed.”

“UF is getting a ton of press this morning and yup the they’re back narrative and the pundits are putting them top 10 Now that’s of course extreme and the college football media always overreacts but they’re improved Ole Miss is not great so this was not a surprise but people need to relax in crowning teams And as always, Miami is getting criticized for its schedule so we have to win”
