When Damien Martinez signed with Miami in the offseason, Hurricanes fans recognized he was one of the top running backs in the portal. This upcoming game against California could be where he breaks loose and has a big game.
Martinez has a great track record against California when he was at Oregon State, as he ran all over them last year when he went for 89 yards on 17 carries and one touchdown. In 2022, he ran for 105 yards on 23 carries.
Martinez has rushed for 250 yards on 54 carries for four touchdowns, we saw glimpses of him in the Florida, FAMU, and Virginia Tech games as he ran for more than 50+ yards each contest. He has not yet had a 100-yard game this season and is looking to make this his first on Saturday.
