RECAP: Miami Hurricanes BEAT Florida Gators Behind RUEBEN BAIN and Trench Dominance Sep 21, 2025

Show notes

The Miami Hurricanes have beaten the Florida Gators 26-17 in a physical rivalry matchup!

Miami’s defense held Florida to 0-13 on third downs and 141 yards of total offense. Edge rusher Rueben Bain was Miami’s highest graded player yet again, with a 93.8 Pro Football Focus Grade. “Hurricane Bain” was credited with 7 tackles, a tackle for loss and a half sack. He and Akheem Mesidor pressured Florida quarterback DJ Lagway all night.

Offensively, Miami produced 184 rushing yards through pure physicality up front and hard running by Mark Fletcher Jr and Marty Brown. Miami’s passing game struggled behind an off night for Carson Beck. Will Beck bounce back from the bye week before the Hurricanes face Florida State on October 4th?
