ARLINGTON, Texas — Miami received plenty of attention for its high-profile transfer quarterbacks and dynamic offensive playmakers. But when the Hurricanes were at their zenith, “The U” was defined by physicality. No. 2 Ohio State was a perfect stress test for the surging Hurricanes, fresh off their first playoff win. On the third play of the game, the Ohio State offensive line parted like the Red Sea and kraken-like defensive ends Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor broke through for the first of many sacks on Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin. “It’s just three and four,” defensive end Rueben Bain said. “That’s just what…

Featuring some of Wayuhi’s most personal and introspective songs to date, Bygoner centers on themes of self-reflection and vulnerability—often in the face of love or lust. “Bygoner was inspired by my side-ho era,” Wayuhi, who is Two-Spirit, says frankly. “I was falling for folks who were emotionally unavailable, so I had to reckon with what that says about me. I also wanted to strengthen my songwriting and bass–playing skills. Much of what you hear is tailored to those exercises.”On the title track, for instance, Wayuhi bids a catchy farewell to an ex-flame. “Your forgiveness ain’t my business anymore,” he sings. “Don’t…
