MIAMI, Fla. – Kicking off a three-game homestand at Hard Rock Stadium, the No. 7 Miami Hurricanes look to clinch a berth for the Atlantic Coast Conference with a win over the Duke Blue Devils, then pending other game results.

Here is all the important information needed to know before the matchup, plus the second return of former Hurricanes head coach Manny Diaz to Miami Gardens (Fla.):

Television Channel: ABC

Kickoff Time: 12:00 p.m. E.T.

Despite Friday's nationwide ground stop by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Blue Devils took off before it was implemented. There will be no delay or change in game-time.

The Hurricanes are -650 favorites to win; meanwhile, Duke have a +450 odds of pulling off an upset. The spread is at 13.5 and the over/under at 54.5.

The following players are ruled out:

- MIA

Malachi Toney (WR; Ankle Surgery)

CharMar "Marty" Brown (RB; Right Knee, Out for Season)

Joshua Moore (WR; Upper-Body, Out for Season)

Max Buchanan (RG; Left Knee)*

Romanas "OJ" Frederique (CB; Left Shoulder)

Luka Gilbert (TE; Undisclosed, Out for Season)

Ja'Boree Antoine (CB; Undisclosed)

*Possible return against Boston College on Nov. 28

- DUKE

Jamien Little (WR), Patrick Smith-Young (S), Kimari Robinson (CB), Kavon Simmons (WR), Terry Walker III (QB), Qeanu Johnson (WR), Elliott Schaper (LB), Cosme Salas (K), David Anderson (DT), Cole Allen (T), Kai Jacobowitz (T), Reagan McCraine (G), Roman Fina (T).

It's worth noting that Hurricanes safety Zechariah Poyser is listed as questionable. He suffered an injury in last Saturday's 31-24 loss to Notre Dame at South Bend (IN).

The Blue Devils arguably have the best running back in college football with sophomore star Nate Sheppard dominating from the ground. He is second in the Football Bowl Subdivision with 1,189 yards while scoring 17 touchdowns (third-most).

However, the 20-year-old has the difficult task of penetrating the nation's best rushing defense. The Hurricanes allow an average of 64.3 yards on the ground through nine games. Despite the lack of pressure and sacks in recent weeks, the front seven has been consistent in stopping the run.

After a slow first-half against Notre Dame, offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and quarterback Darian Mensah have a better idea of how to play without Toney. Another opportunity presents for others to step up. While wide receiver Cooper Barkate and tight end Elija Lofton ignited, expect Vandrevius Jacobs to see an increase in targets.
