  "account": "The Miami Hurricanes are set to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this Saturday, a game that will have significant implications for the College Football Playoff standings. Unfortunately, the Hurricanes will be without their top offensive weapon, Malachi Toney, who is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. Toney, a star wide receiver, has been one of the best receiving threats in the country this season, ranking within the top-five in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. Both Toney and quarterback Darian Mensah have been instrumental in Miami's undefeated season. However, Toney's future role with the team is uncertain after reports on Wednesday night revealed the extent of his ankle injury sustained during practice earlier that day. Initially, there were hopes that Toney could still play in Saturday's game against Notre Dame. Yet, according to ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel, Toney is set to have surgery, which will keep him out for at least four weeks. There's a possibility that Toney could return for the College Football Playoff, given that a victory against Notre Dame would be a strong contender for their inclusion in the 12-team playoff. Miami's offense will have to adapt to the absence of Toney as they prepare for the remainder of their regular season games. The Notre Dame-Miami matchup is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC.",
