From Zero to Twenty


Wow, Miami looked awesome last night against Florida State. And what an insane game to watch too. From beginning to end. The whole time, I never lost confidence in my boys, that we were going to pull out the win. Amazing though. And when time expired, for a second I thought that the Florida State reciever caught the ball in the endzone. Insane. Graig Cooper was amazing, not just running the ball, but on the kick returns too. What speed man... I liked both Benjamin and Hankerson as recievers. Benjamin was the one with the nice catches, and Hankerson was the one that was able to pick up the clutch yards after the catch. That guy can make the first guy miss with his speed, then lower his shoulder into the next guy and drive him back another five yards. But my boy of the game was undoubtedly Jacory Harris. So many times he put the ball right on the money. His best throw of the night was the 50 yard strike to Benjamin when he got down to the 3 yard line. That was thee best throw I've seen so far this year. Perfection. And he's only a sophmore. I'm sure that Miami isn't done now though. We face #15 Georiga Tech next Thursday night, which will be another ESPN-televised thriller. Then it's off to #14 Virginia Tech and #13 Oklahoma; both of whom were in the top ten before today. Anyways, that win keep us alive in the National Championship race (I guess, right BCS?), and gave us a clutch conference win. I predicted an ACC Championship for this team this season, and I expect us to win it. And after being unranked in the preseason poll, I was kind of nervous going up against four Top 25 teams in the first four weeks of our season. All we can do play em, and win em. And keep moving up.

#20 Miami Hurricanes (1-0)
