Monday Musings: The bye week paid off for the Canes

The Miami Hurricanes’ bye week delivered critical reinforcements ahead of their showdown with Florida State, with head coach Mario Cristobal confirming key defensive players have fully recovered from injuries. Defensive lineman Marquise Lightfoot, cornerbacks Xavier Lucas and Damari Brown, and linebacker Ezekiel Marcelin are all set to return for Saturday’s home game, bolstering a unit that will face the nation’s top offense.

Additionally, Cristobal hinted at a potential late-season return for quarterback Max Buchanan, who was hospitalized earlier this month, offering a glimmer of hope for playoff aspirations despite his current absence.
