Cam did the unthinkable and left The Beast to his own devices this week. It's ok, BTBL (Brian The Beast London) knows how to fly solo and brings you the preview you need for Miami and FAMU.

We got word just before the show that Jordan Lyle may have his status change as legal news came in. The Beast tells you about that as well as tells you who you might see lining up at CB with OJ Frederique, Jr. out after a major, possibly season-ending, shoulder injury ended his night in Palo Alto. We also need to see more from the OLine by way of run blocking to Mr. Fletcher and company can have a better night on the ground.

The Marching 100 will be in town and The Frost Band of the Hour has promised they have adopted some Marching 100 techniques to improve their performance. Cam and The Beast will be the judge of that from the press box on Thursday night.

There is always a lot of college football news to talk about. From the SEC threatening to throw LSU out of the conference (was never going to happen ...hello $$$$$) to Dabo possibly being in his last season at Clemson. Oh, and some jackass left Miami off his Top 25 ballot. SMH!

The Miami Hurricanes made the 2,500 mile journey from Miami to Palo Alto to face the Stanford Cardinal and they took care of business in the opening game of the 2026 campaign.

Darian Mensah to Malachi Toney was a thing that was on display all night (until they got some rest late in the game). Malachi set the single-game receiving record, breaking Eddie Brown's record from 1984. Darian Mensah had 400 yards passing and looked almost perfect in his debut in the Orange and Green. The offense was making big play after big play, but the run game left a bit to be desired.

We get into the performance of the offensive line. Will there be changes going into the FAMU game upfront? How did Jackson Cantwell do in his first college game?

The defense was a mixed bag. They kept Stanford out of the end zone, but The Beast and Cam bring you some advanced analytics to show there needs to be some improvement.

Yes we nitpick, but the bottom line is, Miami got the job done in convincing fashion against a Power 4 school. Now on to FAMU, and the Marching 100!

We made it! The offseason is over. The pointless time-killing debates can stop, and all of the opinions from the talking heads can be thrown aside.

The Miami Hurricanes will start their 2026 campaign in Palo Alto against the Stanford Cardinal. Cam and The Beast have your game preview with all of the important matchups. Stanford has already played a game, beating Hawaii. The Canes will be traveling 6 hours west (maybe less depending on the head winds), and take on Stanford on The Farm on Friday night.

What story lines are we thinking about as the season starts? There are tons of positive story lines, but are their any concerns we have? We give it all to you.

In segment two, the boys give you their game prediction and season prediction. But, before they dish out their predictions, they tell you about a Canes' recruit unlike any other. His name is A'mir Sears, and if you haven't watched his highlights, do it HERE.
