Report: Miami to be without starting CB against Florida due to suspension
The Miami Hurricanes are gearing up for their season opener against Florida on Saturday night, but that job just got tougher.
That’s because it was reported that a starting Miami cornerback would be suspended for the Week 0 matchup with the Gators.
Per a report from Hurricanes Updates on Twitter, starting CB DJ Ivey has been suspended:

That’s a tough loss against a Florida team that returns QB Feleipe Franks and a talented receiving corps featuring Van Jefferson, Tyrie Cleveland and others.
Last year, Ivey recorded 3 total tackles as a true freshman. However, he had seemingly earned a starting job this fall, so this is a big loss for Manny Diaz’s defense.
