#RoadWarriors
Miami Hurricanes fans will have to wait one more week before seeing their beloved Orange and Green at Sun Life Stadium. After a thrilling 41-32 season-opening road win at Boston College, the Canes (1-0) travel to Manhattan, Kan., to face No. 22/21 Kansas State (1-0) at 12:05 p.m. EDT on FX.
For the second consecutive season, Miami opened its schedule on the road. With the road win at Boston College, the Canes improved to 7-2 in their last nine season openers away from home. And, for the first time since the 2005 campaign, the Hurricanes open the season with two consecutive road contests. That year, Miami lost 10-7 at Florida State in the opener before defeating Clemson, 36-30, in triple OT.
The 2012 season will be the eighth time in its 86-year history that Miami has opened the season with two consecutive road or neutral contests:
