The Atlantic Coast Conference released the schedule for all 14 members on Tuesday, including the ‘Canes and rival Florida State.
The ‘Canes will open the year by hosting Bethune-Cookman on September 2nd before two straight road games – including their trip to Tallahassee to battle the Seminoles on September 16th,. Miami will be looking to break a seven game losing streak to FSU, tied for the longest in series history.
Miami will play three weeknight games during the year – Friday, September 29th at Duke, Thursday October 12th against Georgia Tech and the regular season finale on Friday, November 24th at Pittsburgh.
The Hurricanes will have three straight home games in the month of November, including a battle against Coastal Division foe Virginia Tech (November 4th) and former rival Notre Dame (November 11th).
