Breaking a seven-year drought without a win against rival Florida State in 2017 was monumental for Miami Hurricanes football in more ways than one. Not only was the 24-20, last-second victory the beginning of what would be a historic run in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but it also marked a new chapter for the Canes…
“When it comes down to it, you can throw the rankings out because it’s a huge rivalry game and it’s going to be the best game on all week no matter what the rankings are. Florida State will play harder than ever knowing they have the chance to take down a ranked opponent and rival.”
Mark Richt knew who would start under center for Miami’s Atlantic Coast Conference opener against North Carolina. But the Hurricanes’ faithful found out when N’Kosi Perry ran onto the field for Miami’s first drive, which was met with a roar of cheers. However, it was the Hurricanes’ defense — which entered the game ranked second…
“It’s not like Malik has done anything wrong by any means,” Richt said. “He’s done a lot of great things for us. What’s happening is Cade and N’Kosi are growing up…Somewhere along the line, I gotta, you know, like a bird kicks the [baby] out of the nest and makes him fly, it’s about that time.”
It was a given that patience with Malik Rosier’s inconsistent play was growing thin and that N’Kosi Perry would likely make an appearance in the backyard battle against Florida International University Saturday. But perhaps, even some of the most disgruntled Hurricanes fans were surprised to see head coach Mark Richt pull Rosier from the game…
“Stop booing Malik,” running back Deejay Dallas said. “I don’t like that. That’s not something that our fans should be about. Yeah, it’s OK to be angry. It’s OK to be upset. But Malik came out today and he played with an edge and he played like the starter should.”
“Like everything we do as a group, we wanted something again that honors the university and honors UM,” Diaz said, who is known among Hurricanes fans as the father of the Turnover Chain. “The U is fantastic and you know, it’s something different. This ibis is iconic to our program and to our university.
The Hurricanes faithful held their breath. Miami’s preseason All-American safety Jaquan Johnson limped off the field toward the sideline. UM’s three-touchdown advantage was trimmed to just seven points with Johnson laboring a right hamstring injury. But the Hurricanes found their hero. Quarterback Malik Rosier — who received a loud monsoon of boos from Miami fans…
The Hurricanes shook Hard Rock Stadium Saturday night against the Savannah State Tigers with a record-breaking 77-0 blowout in front of 60,000 fans after returning from a tough loss against LSU the previous week.
“I think the new ticketing policy is a very good idea,” said Andrew Burkly, a senior who experienced the old ticketing policy for the past three years. “It gives everything a sense of organization. By the time you get to the stadium, you are guaranteed to get in.”
Hard Rock Stadium erupted with cheers. The Hurricanes faithful got their wish. Redshirt freshman quarterback N’Kosi Perry stormed onto the field to make his collegiate debut. Head coach Mark Richt made the change under center after veteran Malik Rosier guided the Hurricanes to a 21-0 lead. Richt shuffled the quarterbacks throughout the contest as No….
