The Miami Hurricanes enter a crucial third season under Mario Cristobal. The head coach believes the culture has taken a huge step forward and he has a roster ready to compete every Saturday. Cristobal talks about the luxury of having continuity with both coordinators returning. Cristobal discusses what makes transfer quarterback Cam Ward so special. He explains how Miami’s offense will be ready to attack both through the air and on the ground. He describes what to expect from transfer running back Damien Martinez.

Mario Cristobal joins host Alex Donno. Donno also interviews Cam Ward, starting left tackle Jalen Rivers and top linebacker Kiko Mauigoa. The players describe Miami’s team goals for the 2024 season and how they can gel together as a unit. Ward describes his early impressions in Miami and why he decided to play another season in college, rather than going pro. Mauigoa made a similar decision, deciding to return to Miami. Kiko talks about the importance of playing with his younger brother, Miami’s starting right tackle Francis Mauigoa.
