Jadon Pearson leads the team with 98 total tackles. Finn Claypool has the team-high with 6.5 sacks. Jakari Embry has made plays on the ball with nine passes defended and one interception.
Miami doesn’t have the quarterback play to really take advantage of the Bulldogs. Fresno State should be able to keep the ball on the ground to win the game.
