Miami Hurricanes stay focused after beating Florida State, aiming to improve despite 5-0 start and No. 2 ranking.

After defeating Florida State on October 4, 2025, the Miami Hurricanes maintained a focused, improvement-driven mindset despite a 5-0 start and a No. 2 ranking—their highest since 2002. Players and coaches, including quarterback Carson Beck and head coach Mario Cristobal, stressed that small mistakes and missed opportunities highlight areas needing work. The team, which has already beaten three AP-ranked opponents and swept in-state rivals, remains determined to avoid complacency and build a disciplined, physically dominant program capable of national championship contention.
