The Miami Hurricanes will be down one starter against the Ole Miss Rebels in the Fiesta Bowl in the College Football Semifinals.

Hurricanes' final injury report lists Damari Brown and Jordan Lyle out in the College Football Semifinals against Ole Miss.

Brown has been out since Nov. 29, only playing three games this season after missing all of last season with a lower leg injury.

Lyle is the biggest surprise for the Hurricanes as he has been healthy for most of the season. He is also a scratch early this season after dealing with an ankle injury against Notre Dame that has been a problem all season.

OJ Frederique Jr. is slated to play after getting carted off the field against Ohio State and was in a book and on crutches after the game.

Ahmad Moten Sr. got his ankle rolled against the Buckeyes but will be a game time decision for the Canes. He will be critical in stopping the run of the Rebels.
