Quarterback Ryan Williams is nearing his comeback. And quarterback Brad Kaaya will make the biggest start of his young career for the Hurricanes in front of 90,000-plus fans Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Kaaya will be challenged by a Nebraska defense that ranks 19th in passing yards allowed (165.3 per game) and 18th in total defense (294.7). Nebraska holds teams to .6 below their normal average. This includes a splendid 1.6 yards per pass below. Miami has proven to be a Peter Principle team, beating up on inferior teams, but getting crushed by Louisville. This is their biggest test and they have shown they are not up to the task.
