Live Updates: Florida at No. 4 Miami; Final

Miami 26, Florida 7

For a second, Lagway showed the flash of why he was so highly touted, but the ball was dropped, and the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes' defense had its ears pinned back and is now pushing the ball down the field.

Miami 19, Florida 7

The Miami Hurricanes played offense as many had envisioned they would play the whole game. Tough, hard-nosed football, and Marty gets his second touchdown of the day. (Visually, his third.) Miami has iced this game, and the Hurricanes' defense is starting to take over.

Touchdown!

The Hurricanes have let the Gators come back and now this is a scary situation to be in. The age old question, Mario or Billy?

Miami 13, Florida 7

It's a different ball game now. The Hurricanes offensive is sputtering and the Florida offense has given up throwing the ball and has started to run the ball down Miami's throat. A dominant rushing attack to start the second half for the Gators.

The Hurricanes are starting to beat themselves right now. The Gators' offense is finding a groove, and the offense is sputtering. Inconsistent play calling, and the defense is starting to bend. Offense has to find a way to make a play.

The Hurricanes' defense is playing some of the best defense that has been seen in nearly a decade for the Canes. This defense is playing at an all-time level, and the Hurricanes need to work well with the gift this defense is giving.

The Hurricanes' offense is starting to play at a questionable level. Florida's defense is good, but the Hurricanes are beating themselves right now. False starts, not looking for passes, and running the same plays over and over again.

Miami 10, Florida 0

Miami is turning into Kicker "U" Field Goal 53 yard boom from Carter Davis. The offensive drive was killed by the offensive line play. Canes lead 10-0.

The Hurricanes are 5-5 on third down and are dominating the game at this moment. The Canes are pushing this ball down the field and bullying the Gators. The offensive line has been sloppy, but it is giving their defense

Second Quarter:

Give credit to the Gators' defense. There is so much talent on that side of the ball that they are giving the Canes some trouble on offense.

Miami's defense is starting to become the best part of this team. The tackling is light years from what it was last season, and it helps them force another three-and-out of the Gators.

Miami 7, Florida 0

The Hurricanes' offense just marched down the field on the Gators. It never felt like they were in any trouble, and Carson Beck had all day to work. Marty Brown capped off the drive and finished the opening series of this game.

7 plays, 56 yards, 3:31 two yard touchdown from Marty Brown.

The Hurricanes' defense was shot out of a cannon to start this game. Three tackles for loss, and instantly, the Canes feel like one of the best teams in the country.

The Hurricanes look to have Jordan Lyle and Joshia Trader back as they where spotted for the first tim all season during the Canes walk. Cristobal talked about how important it was for them to be back on the field giving them more weapons on the field.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — No. 4 Miami (3-0) continues its in-state opponent series as it takes on the Florida Gators (1-2), desperately seeking a win.

The Hurricanes invite the Gators in after dominating them at home last season to highlight how good Cam Ward was and to demonstrate that this isn't the same program it was years ago. Mario Cristobal and Co. are on a mission to do the same in this next game before entering their first bye week of the season.

The Gators are coming off a few bad losses and a few bad performances on the offensive side of the ball. They will have to find an identity quickly if they hope to stand up and face off against the Hurricanes with more than just the ACC Championship on their minds.

This story will be updated.
