The Miami Hurricanes once again won a tightly contested conference game, this time a 52-45 road win over the Louisville Cardinals, to remain undefeated. And it played a part in Miami staying put in the AP top-25 poll for a third consecutive week. The Hurricanes once again checked in at No. 6 in the latest edition of the AP poll, released on Sunday.

No. 6 Miami kept its undefeated season rolling with a 52-45 win on the road against Louisville. The Hurricanes are off to their first 7-0 start since 2017 and, with the victory, created more distance in an ACC title race that gains more clarity with each passing week.

Miami has a claim to be the nation’s best offense. The unit put up 45 points in the victory (with seven points coming on a defensive touchdown). That performance actually brought UM’s scoring average down to 48.3 points per game — slightly behind No. 1 Indiana, which is averaging 48.7.
