Auburn Tigers - 19 (20 Units) 

Let's go buddy! 

Miami has held opponents to 10 and 3 so far this year. I know the opponents were not any big, bad teams. Just saying.

Miami also scored 70 in a game this year.

Sharing this story because sharing is caring! 

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — For No. 25 Miami, simply getting to Appalachian State is going to be a challenge.

Winning may prove even tougher.

The Hurricanes (2-0) will fly into a regional airport that can't accommodate a full-size jet, so Miami will take a smaller-than-usual plane. As such, some support staff got bumped from the charter for commercial flights. And then there's lodging issues; a long ride awaits the players from the airport to their hotel 20 minutes from Appalachian State's campus in Boone, North Carolina, while school officials and cheerleaders will stay even farther away.

Those are mere inconveniences.

The real test comes Saturday at noon, when the Hurricanes face an upset-capable opponent and what will be a frenzied crowd.

"When Miami's rolling into town, it's always a big game, wherever you go," Hurricanes quarterback Brad Kaaya said. "No matter what the Hurricanes are ranked, it's always a big game."

Make no mistake, this is a very big game to App State (1-1), a team that won 11 games last year and nearly beat Tennessee to open this season.

Adult tickets are usually $40 for Mountaineers home games; they were priced at $60 for this one, and they're going for much more than that on the secondary markets. App State added a standing-room student section that will put some on field level, a premium seating area also at field level, along with another video board.

A sellout is certain; every ticket App State had was gone about an hour after they went on sale. Extra planning was done in an effort to figure out how to minimize traffic problems on game day. There's even going to be a pep rally on Friday night with two bands, food trucks and appearances by App State coach Scott Satterfield and some players.

Fans have been excited for months. Now App State players can join in the fun.

"Throughout the offseason, everybody's like, 'Man, you play Miami at home,'" Appalachian State quarterback Taylor Lamb said. "And we're like, 'Yeah, we've got two games before that.' ... Now all our focus goes to Miami."

It's the first time App State has played host to an opponent from one of college football's five power conferences, and is something that Satterfield called "a milestone for our university." The game was scheduled last year when Miami needed to fill an opening, and the Hurricanes had to agree to head to Boone first to get what will become a home-and-home done.

App State is a program that won three straight FCS national titles from 2005 through 2007 — the last of those championship years starting with an unforgettable win at Michigan.

Hurricanes coach Mark Richt said his team won't need any history lessons this week.

"How can you take this team lightly? How could anybody that knows football take this team lightly?" Richt said. "We don't even have to say that to our guys. They see the film. They watched them play against Tennessee. They know ... this is a really good football team, everybody knows it, and we're geared up to try the best we can to play great that day."

200 wins 2 losses.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

Miami Hurricanes Football: Mark Richt Statement Regarding Appalachian State

"Good afternoon everybody. I appreciate you being here. Talking a little bit about Appalachian State. First off, Coach Satterfield, my hats off to you. Some great coaching going on. It starts with recruiting – they got guys who can really play the game of football. They play with high energy. The defense plays tremendous fundamental football. They are great tacklers. They do a great job in coverage. They’re really not a team that is trying to fool you with what they do. It’s a sign of a good team, one that lines up and does what they do, and does it so well that people really struggle with it. They’ve done a tremendous job stopping people. They have an outstanding bunch of guys. They have eight returning starters on defense back, and I know their two middle linebackers have played side-by-side, I think, for as many as 30 games together. Just a bunch of guys who have been to war – a lot of different battles in a lot of different venues. For them to be home, and us go there, and the excitement I know that’s drawing, from what I understand, it has got to be a huge day for their program. I can’t imagine them not being super hyped, ready to go. You see that on film regardless of who they’re playing and where they’re playing them – just another sign of a well-coached team."

"Offensively, they’re going to run the ball. I think they were second or third in the nation in rushing yards per game. Taylor Lamb is a young man I know through his grandfather, Mosley, who worked for me at Georgia for years. I love that family, and he’s a typical coach’s son playing the quarterback position. He doesn’t make mistakes, he gets them in the right place, he’s tough mentally and tough physically. He runs the ball well, throws the ball well…first-team All-Sun Belt preseason guy, and deservedly so. Their running back, [Marcus] Cox, last two games over 100 yards apiece. As a matter of fact, a year ago, I think he had 100 against Clemson and might have been the only back to have 100 against Clemson last year. He’s got some crazy numbers. Just a super player, as well. Their offensive line, most of them have been around. They do have a left tackle who is starting as a freshman in Victor Johnson. The rest of them have been around a good bit…three of them have started at least 22 games, so a lot of guys with experience. Big, tough physical guys that know how to come off the football. That first play against Tennessee, I saw their center and guard double-team the nose guard and a linebacker from Tennessee right off the sideline. If you saw the tape, you could just see they were ready to play and get after it. If you get your pads up at all, they’re going to forklift you right out of bounds. They have a veteran tight end coming back in [Barrett] Burns, an honorable mention Sun Belt player, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound junior and a guy that plays big for them. All their receivers do a great job of blocking and route-running. Deltron Hopkins is a Booker T Washington product, and they use him a lot on speed sweeps and things of that nature. He’s a guy that has a lot of speed and a lot of ability.

"In the kicking game, their place kicker is a freshman. He’s brand new. He’s 1-for-2 for field goal. He made a 20-yarder, a little chip shot. He does not kick off, their punter does that. [Bentlee] Critcher, he’s averaging 38 yards per punt, but on kickoffs he has knocked 6 out of 9 out of the end zone, non-returnable kicks. So a really strong leg. Their kick and punt return man is the same – it’s [Jaquil] Capel… he’s got five returns for 74 yards, almost 15-yard average on the kickoff, and averaged 10 yards on returning the punts.

"We definitely got out work cut out for us. Everything seems to be escalating game by game, which is pretty typical. We know it’s going to be a battle, plain and simple."

Florida A&M and Florida Atlantic managed only 69 combined yards rushing with only another 342 combined yards passing.

Miami had 523 total yards against FAMU and 470 total yards against FAU.
