Miami football news: OJ Frederique, Ja'Boree Antoine already ruled out for Clemson clash

Miami football is set to face Clemson in a crucial matchup this Saturday, with quarterback Darian Mensah aiming to elevate his NFL Draft prospects. However, the 'Canes will be missing two key defensive players, OJ Frederique and Ja'Boree Antoine. Both star cornerbacks are currently out, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel, who shared the news on X. Lucas, the team's third cornerback, is also listed as questionable for the game.

This leaves Coach Mario Cristobal without three experienced defenders for this critical Atlantic Coast Conference showdown. The Hurricanes, the conference's top team, have struggled to generate a consistent offense this season, with their highest single-game output being 28 points against North Carolina. Clemson, on the other hand, hasn't exceeded the 30-point mark this season, with their closest margin being a 28-20 victory over the Tar Heels.

The upcoming match-up is seen as a pivotal battle for Miami's aspirations of reaching the national title game and solidifying their position as a top contender in the ACC.
