The No. 1 Miami Hurricanes — a phrase that hasn’t been said in 24 years — host Pittsburgh today in their first game in daylight of the 2026 college football season.
UM improved to 6-0 (4-0 in ACC) after a 43-35 double-overtime thriller against Florida State with Darian Mensah throwing three touchdowns but also his first interception with his new team. Malachi Toney remains the engine of the nation’s No. 1 offense, but freshman running back Javian Mallory has overtaken Mark Fletcher Jr. as the team’s leading rusher after a 108-yard, two-touchdown game last week.

Pitt (5-2, 2-2) enters on a two-game losing skid but fields the nation’s top rushing defense, just ahead of Miami’s. Senior Holden Geriner is expected to start over freshman Colin Dailey at quarterback with Mason Heintschel out with a torn ACL.
