Florida comes into this contest looking for their third straight win, after their loss to Arizona to start the season, but they barely escaped their last game against Florida State. The Gators are shooting 44% from the field, but they did allow 93 points to Arizona in their loss. Miami is 3-0 to start the year and they have scored over 100 points in each of their last two games, but they have played a very low level of competition. The Hurricanes do look like the better defensive team and they are shooting 57% from the field. Take Miami and the points here.
