Miami Redhawks quarterback Brett Gabbert is coming out swinging ahead of the school’s Week 1 matchup vs. the Hurricanes next Friday.
In a press conference prior to Miami (Ohio)’s trip down to Coral Gables, Gabbert said the “real Miami” is in Oxford, Ohio.
“I just think we’ll show them on September 1st,” he said confidently.
Q: “The real Miami is where?”
