The Miami Hurricanes are no different than any other team, and could have easily gone through the season last year and ended with only one loss. There is really only one game anyone can point to where the Hurricanes were out of it early and had no chance to win the game in the fourth quarter. The team has many flaws just like others, and they will have to overcome these if they want to win the ACC and even have a shot at competing for a National Title. Here are four critical flaws that...

Carlos Huerta was one of the first true great stories of the Hurricanes’ storied era of dominance in college football. Huerta is one of the players that one one talks about with regards to the dominant players during the Miami Hurricanes reign over college football. I personally remember sitting at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee as I watched Huerta put a field goal through the uprights that was the difference in one of those games against Florida State. He was as much a part... [Read more]

Miami quarterback Jacory Harris has brought a winning mentality from his High School program, and you can start to see his influence positively affecting the team. There is still a lot of work to do, and Harris needs to solidly make this “his” team next season at all costs. Harris is now fully recovered from a thumb injury that plagued him all season last year, the problem was fixed with off season surgery. Harris is now ready to participate in all practice drills in preparation... [Read more]

On Wednesday Randy Shannon signed a new four year deal to re-up as the Head Coach of the Miami Hurricanes Football Team. Many people speculated and debated on whether Shannon deserved an extension or not because although the team has improved every year under his watch, there are still some questions. This is a good move for the football program, but I believe it was made for bigger reasons than just the X’s and O’s. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the most of the... [Read more]

I just whipped his team, shouldn't I make more money than him? There is an 800 pound Ibis in the room no matter what subject comes up regarding Miami Hurricanes Football. That would be the contract extension of head coach Randy Shannon, who right now is the 11th highest paid coach in the ACC. Not to mention that he is not really the 11th highest paid he is tied with the guy in 12th place Frank Spaziani of Boston College. In one of my other articles I talked about how “cheap” Miami can...

The Miami Hurricanes currently have the 17th ranked recruiting class according to Rivals.com, some may consider that poor if you believe that player rankings are an accurate measure of how a player will turn out. Historically when Miami has been good they didn’t necessarily have the best recruiting classes according to the rankings. The Hurricanes have historically recruited players that fit their system rather than ones that were highly ranked according to a service like rivals or scout. Well... [Read more]

As much as it may hurt I will be the first to admit it, the Big Ten has been impressive this bowl season. You can count me in the group of people at the beginning of the season who talked down about the Big Ten. It was widely discussed in college football circles all season and most believed it to be true. Well in the Orange Bowl the Big Ten capped off a successful bowl season with Iowa’s 24 – 14 win over ACC champion Georgia Tech. Not only did the Hawkeye’s win, but they... [Read more]
