MIAMI (CBSMiami) - The Miami Hurricanes are looking to bounce back in 2020 after a disappointing 2019 season.

The Hurricanes ended their last season with a 6-7 record.

On Wednesday, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) released the official schedules for the teams.

On Halloween, the 'Canes will travel Charlottesville to take on defending Coastal Division champion Virginia at Scott Stadium. Despite the fact that the Hurricanes have won four of their last five against Virginia, they've struggled in games at Scott Stadium.
