The Miami Hurricanes 2023 football schedule was announced

The ACC has released the 2023 football schedule for all teams, including the Miami Hurricanes. The Canes are looking to start turning things around in 2022 for a 5-7 season. LOT new faces to help things move in a positive direction. The key, of course, is improving the offense and limiting the myriad of explosive plays allowed on defense. But it should be easy to do… right?

The entire ACC list can be found here:

The first month of the schedule has actually been known for some time. Based on the announced dates for several games, we already knew that the September schedule would be as follows:

• vs Miami (OH) on Friday, September 1 (date change to September 2 in today’s bulletin)
• vs. Texas A&M Sept. 9 (rematch of home-and-home series)
• vs Bethune-Cookman THURSDAY, September 14th (latest addition to complete non-conference schedule)
• in the temple on 23.9

Hosting Texas A&M is naturally and understandably the biggest game of the non-conference season. Miami dropped a 17-9 contest in College Station last year and will look to turn that around in 2023. The rest of Miami, Bethune-Cookman (sans Ed Reed…yikes) and Temple should all be big wins for Miami. . But I, like you, watched the Miami game in 2022, so I’m not assuming anything.

The Canes’ full ACC schedule is here:

Week 5 BYE WEEK

Week 6 Georgia Tech at Miami, Oct. 7

Week 7 Miami at North Carolina, October 14

Week 8 Clemson at Miami, Oct. 21

Week 9 Virginia at Miami, Oct. 28

Week 10 Miami at North Carolina State, Nov. 4

Week 12 Louisville at Miami, Nov. 18

Week 13 Miami at Boston College, FRIDAY November 24th

ACC Championship Game – December 3rd

As for the ACC portion of the schedule, this is the first year of a new era. ACC will use the 3 plus 5 model from 2023. Each team plays their tentpole/cornerstone opponent coin each year and between rotations play five of the remaining 10 teams each year. It is NOT fixed every other year with the other 10 teams, but each team plays the other teams twice every four years, one at home and one away.

In summary, Miami’s tentpoles are Florida State (duh), Louisville (huh?) and Boston College (what?). I wrote about this when this structure was announced, but this was basically Miami and FSU has to play every year and… what’s left of Miami is just up for the taking.

In addition to those marquees, ACC opponents include Clemson, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State and Virginia.

It’s understood Clemson will return to Hard Rock Stadium for the first time since Al Golden was fired in 2015, 58-0. North Carolina and NC State would probably be next on the highlight list from that group. And a special nod to Virginia, who always finds ways to play Miami tough.

Miami Florida State always has a game you circle on the calendar, so do it now.

There it is. The entire schedule for the 2023 season.

Talk away.
