No. 24 Miami Hurricanes vs. Michigan State Spartans

When — 12 p.m. Where — Hard Rock Stadium TV — ABC Michigan St. QB Payton Thorne vs. Miami secondary. The Spartans are running for 300 yards per game. The 24th-ranked Hurricanes are among 10 teams that have given up two or fewer runs of 20 yards or longer, and they're averaging nine tackles for loss. That could force the Spartans to pass and Thorne has been excellent so far. He should have opportunities downfield against a defense that's second-to-last in the ACC against the pass.
