We are drawing ever closer to kickoff between No. 1 Alabama and No. 14 Miami.
But, when kickoff takes place from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the Hurricanes will be down a trio of players.
Per Manny Navarro, the Hurricanes have suspended 3 players — RB Jaylan Knighton (4 games), S Avantae Williams (6 games) and TE Larry Hodges (2 games):
So three players suspended for the opener including RB Jaylan Knighton. That means freshman RB Cody Brown will be the No. 3 RB in this game. pic.twitter.com/SDv00zFwjQ

How those absences affect the Miami squad remains to be seen, but you never want to be less than full-strength when taking on the Crimson Tide.
Saturday’s game between the No. 1 Tide and No. 14 Hurricanes kicks off at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on ABC.
