What to expect from Miami and Florida in 2024?
The Miami Hurricanes enter the 2024 college football season with lofty expectations. They ended last season with a 7-6 record, including a bowl game loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Hurricanes started last season with a four-game winning streak before their performances slowly but surely tethered away.
Expect Miami to play much better football in 2024. The program has made some additions via the transfer portal and has added some decent freshmen to the fold. Hurricanes fans will be expecting a much better record and, hopefully, a bowl game win in 2024.
Florida had a year to forget in 2023. The Gators started their season with a 5-2 record, winning over the Tennessee Volunteers, Kentucky Wildcats, and more. However, they ended the season with a baffling five-game losing streak. The Gators ended the year with a 5-7 record, thereby missing out on the chance to play in a bowl game.
Expect the Gators to write their wrongs in 2024. It all starts with a game against rivals, the Hurricanes, at the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
