On Monday, head coach Mario Cristobal addressed that report.

Cristobal said, “I know there’s been a lot of buzz about Tyler Van Dyke and him being injured. Tyler’s been practicing at full speed. I know you guys reported something relative to him missing some days of practice and him and a couple of guys were due to camp. He’s 100-percent and has been practicing with our team.”

Coach Cristobal praised Miami of Ohio as an experienced team and a tough opponent.

Miami is hoping to bounce back after a 5-7 season.

In Cristobal’s first season at Miami, the Canes did not reach a bowl game.
