"It was a long week and a half, I'll tell you that," receiver LaRon Byrd said. "A lot of guys were moping around saying 'We've got to get better, we've got to get better.' Definitely, this win took the monkey off our backs. We've just got to continue this momentum throughout the season."

Clemson:
Heading into their first Atlantic Coast Conference game, the Hurricanes will have to focus on avenging their 40-37 overtime loss against Clemson last season. During the heartbreaking loss for the 'Canes, there were 12 lead changes and two ties. Miami had an opportunity to seal a victory in regulation after an interception but failed to convert a first down to kill the clock

Not only did the University of Miami solidify itself as a legitimate, top 20 national contender with its resounding 31-3 victory Thursday night on national television -- it gave itself, and Hurricanes fans, reason to believe this season is just beginning.

Jacory - Winston: Tweet

After tossing his second interception Thursday night -- a deep pass intended to Travis Benjamin thrown into triple coverage -- former Hurricanes offensive lineman Eric Winston posted the following message on Twitter:

``Dear Jacory, There is nothing wrong with dumping the ball in the flat. Even Babe Ruth didn't hit a homerun every at bat. Sincerely, Alumni.''

PBP- Jorge

Randy Shannon threw Travis Benamin under the bus as the culprit on both of Harris’ picks, but I don’t buy it. At 5-foot-10, Benjamin is not often going to win jump balls.

Maybe get a blister on your little finger
maybe get a blister on you thumb......

University of Miami coach Randy Shannon said Friday there is nothing wrong with quarterback Jacory Harris - physically or mentally.

Welcome to Canespace, post here and post often is what 86 will say by the time I hit the, "Post," button.

Galagos...welcome to Canespace. Post here, post often!

86Cane

What Jorge Milian is saying at the PBP:

"Harris followed his four-interception outing against Ohio State by getting picked off in both the first and second quarters. It could have been worse for Harris, who had at least one other pass in the first half dropped by a Pitt defensive back. As has been the case often in Harris' career, the junior quarterback repeatedly threw into double and triple coverage in Pitt's secondary."

I told you.

"In addition, seeing how Utah struggled with Pitt, why is Utah ranked 6 spots ahead of the Canes?

Posted by: WindyCane1 | September 25, 2010 at 09:38 AM"

Because preseason polls are the bane of actual accurate rankings during a season and Utah got extra credit for an underwhelming performance right out of the gate. The best part of the BCS era is the introduction of the Harris poll which gets it right in the sense that the voters in there actually, OH MY GOD, WAIT for games to be played before putting teams ahead of each other.

BahamaCane

Oh man, i dont know what to watch at 12 noon! VT @ BC? or NCS @ GT? I am leaning at NCS @ GT!

Then at 3pm WF @ FS or Bama @ Arkansas?

I gat a feeling that Bama and Ohio State are not going undefeated!

86Cane

Bahama...I'm going with VT vs BC and FSU vs Wake. Of course during commercials, time outs or injuries, I flip over to the other games.

86Cane

OSU could get beaten but Bama can only beat themselves.

Arkansas has a good offense and should be able to score. If the Razobacks can get an early lead and force the Tide out of their running game they have a shot.

roachcane77

Looking forward to some good TV games today.

Always a bit boring when the U is not involved though...

Let's Go Canes!

Bama will beat arkansas because their D is not that good. Anthony Leon starting LB for Arkansas (cousing to Sean Taylor) is my girlfriends nephew.

"Seeing that the Canes vs. Clemson will be at night, Clemson's crowd noise will be troublesome."

When did they anounce the Clemson kickoff ,dang I missed it.
I thought they were going to anounce it Sunday noon?

Posted by: solarcane | September 24, 2010 at 08:49 PM

That's moi's Jimmy The Greek poor man's imitation. LOL

Seriously thought, either ABC or ESPN will pick up the option, and show in PRYME TYME.

Just too many ' positives ' not to. No.

1. Miami is a ESPN/ABC college football ratings monster. Always has been and always will be!

2. Clemson vs. Auburn provide the national telly audience last Sabado a breathtaking contest.

3. Both Miami and the Tigers are 2-1.

4. Clemson, S.C. provides spectacular ' night game ' atmosphere, and rates with the night games in S.E.C. country and Ohio St. and Penn St. and Texas and Oklahoma, for instance.

5. And the COUP DE GRACE is this, your Miami Hurricanes and the Tiger have provided ' close, competitive, momentum shifting games the past several seasons.

Also, I do believe the last three games between these two A.C.C. foes have gone O.T.

Six

canesteeler - tomorrow you and I do not like each other ... at least from kickoff until the final whistle

The Steeler D will win the game. Even with Pooh Bear Leftwich as your QB and his 5 minute delivery, the D will cause enough problems for the Bucs that field position will allow Pooh Bear to get them in position to score - probably more field goals than TDs


Will be cool to see Tomlin back in Tampa though, back to the place where his first NFL job was. He was here for the nasty Bucs D years - when that's basically all the Bucs were known for with the Tampa 2

A testament to the fact that Clemson MAN'S UP for the week on the schedule that reads Miami (FL).

86,

I'm using the gogo in-flight network to connect to the web on my way to Hong Kong!!

I will log in when I get there an add a dot to your country map!

I was hoping to use ESPN3 to watch the VT game, but it will not allow me to.

Technology is over the top right now!

Does anyone know the time for the clemson game yet? I get back next week at 6pm and was hoping I could catch it.

Go 'canes!

Galagos

Yes and I believe the road team has won all 3.

Nebraska is looking for any excuse not to play an opponent that is too legit to quit. Either offer a home and home or pay the money for an unbalanced offer. The Huskers were always a bunch of cry babies, especially after other schools started using the roids and caught up o them "athletically"
# Observer1 says: September 9, 2010 8:45 PM ET

But Nebraska will pay Western Kentucky $1M.
---------------------

Both of these college football bloggers bloody SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER regarding the Herbie Cornhuskers.

For instance, yous notice how that Lil' Red Cornhusker program absolutely DOESN'T WANT to schedule a home-and-away.

Yet, Nebraska wants the whole Cornhusker PIG, and only wants a game in the capitol town, or a 2-for-1. Go bloody figures. LOL

Remember, remember this Hurricane rowdies. A certain ' unassuming ' college football program from the Sunshine state was willing to go to Nebraska twice, and actually SHOCKED the college football nation with a ' gutsy, narrow win ' in Stinkin' Lincoln, Herbieland. LMAO

This ' off the radar ' college football program from the Sunshine state would be considered the Boise St. of today.

Who is this team U's wonder. Well, it wasn't Miami.

Think again, that's correct. It was St. Bobby's F.S.U. Seminole program of the ' early eighties ' who ventured into Herbie Cornhuskerville, and had ' dem, dere, das, dum, ' Lil'Red minions bloody SHOCKED, as well as DUMBFOUNDED.

P.S. After that lost by Nebraska, and another close victory over Bowden's Seminoles. That Herbie Cornhusker A.D. ABSOULUTELY REFUSED to schedule a ' new series ' with St. Bobby's squad. Not even a 2-for-1.

Nonetheless, karma worked it's mysterious hand, and Nebraska faced F.S.U. in bowl games, and Coach Bowden's teams BYTCHED SLAPPED that Herbie Cornhusker program! LMAO

Moral of the rant. Nebraska don't wanna' play Boise St. on ' relatively fair ' terms, because it's too much of a risk for them. LOL Think Coach Bobby Bowden's 18-15 win in 1984.

Posted by: macjones | September 25, 2010 at 12:34 PM

Like your Miami, F-L-A Hurricanes, the Seminoles LITERALLY OWN that Herbie Cornhusker program in bowl games of ' significant! ' Yeah baby. LOL

Now, do yous Understand why the Florida's and Nebraska's of the college football realm literally refuse to play difficult non-conference teams.

Posted by: BahamaCane | September 25, 2010 at 12:33 PM

Like DUH! The first year it worked because people were not prepared for it. The only way it works now is if they are allowed to wear a team down in a close game and break a long run late in the first half or in the fourth quarter.

It might work if they could pass out of it on occasion but that ain't happening it seems with the talent they have at QB or WR?

That's why the Wise men ' suits' at ABC/ESPN college football MAKE the DECISIONS, and not the typical college football fandom. LOL

Bloody EVEN MONEY, that Miami vs. Clemson is show in PRYME TYME on ABC OR ESPN OR ESPN-2.

Yes, ESPN-2 also has Saturday night games scheduled.

And prime time is either a 8:00 P.M. EST start, or a 7:30 P.M. EST telecast, or a 7:00 P.M. EST kickoff. U'all dig. LOl

Seeing that Benji has ' officially ' become the Cane scapegoat for Jacory. Perhaps Travis should practice some ' pass brake-up drills ' with the Hurricane secondary. LMAO

Heck, the one pass Harris over threw to Benji was ' so sky high, ' that even Labron would've had difficult coming down with the catch. LOL

What, you don't like high school schemes being run at the next level? You probably can't stand the Uni of Fellon's single wing-T either I bet. Tech's offense will impress or not impress you depending on whether the defense is stopping the first option dive or not in any given game. Shutting down the dive is the key to forcing the early pitch and then it's all just covering assignments from there. Boringly simple really, make it a two score game and watch Nesbit throw low percentage bombs to try and get back in it is what that program's entire season looks like week in and week out.

Wolfpack 10, Ga Tech 0

Yeah, yeah I can hear it now. The game is still early.

Or, to ease those Cane ' Crumbling Wreck ' admirers minds-eye. LOL This is just a typical BOUNCE game for Ga Tech. Especially after last Sabado's tough game with Carolina.

The NCAA has no authority to compel witnesses to work with them in testimony. If she wants to exercise her 1st Amendment right to free speech by shutting up about this scandal that's up to her.

Man I liked Wilson since we played then few years back. Watching this game he is good!! This is he first time I have actually sat and watched a good amount of his game and not saying he's the best or w/e but he just makes good decisions man. Harris take notes!!

SJMPARMAN

NC State should be up 23-7. Their FG kicker missed two short field goals. GT defense is clueless on pass defense.

On another note, I think Marve must have been hurt in their game against Toledo. He went 1-3 for 10 yards and had a 12 yard sack and has had no other stats since early in the game. Some guy named Rob Henry is quarterbacking for them according to the box score.

macjones

Hookies are in a most difficult game with upstart Boston College-albeit it's in suburban Bean Town. LOL

Beamer Ball 7, Boston College 0

macjones

Let's see, U'all Cane admirers still believe Beamer Ball will take down Miami. Yet, I do believe Boston College is no where to be found among the nations Top 25. LOL

Yes, yes this is a road game for the Hookies, but didn't Miami face a legitimate No.2 squad on the road in front of 95,000+ screaming barbarians. No not yours ' distant cousins. ' LOL Think the Germanic-Tutonic tribes of the North lands of Europa.

Word is that Bobby Marve and Denard Robinson both hurt knees in their games and are out?

Maryland 21, FIU 14 at the half.

Sat., Oct. 2 Washington at USC 8 p.m. ABC and ESPN

I was absolutely wrong, as well as arrogant in a sixish sort of way. Because youUr Cane will not been seen on either ABC or ESPN.

So, that leaves only ' ESPN-2 ' as a final option.

It looks like it will be the 3:30 EST time slot, which could be a blessing in disguise for Team Shanon.

For Clemson's stadium will be not as ' mobbish ' under the Johnny Rebel sun, as it would've been at ' night. ' LOL

This OC is just calling a very good game for NCSU Whipple take note. Dink Dink Dink then go deep. IMO

roachcane77

Yeah, I like WIlson too, I was at that game in Raleigh a few years ago when he picked us apart.

Too bad O'Brien is so conservative and keeps trying FGs with a crappy kicker.

I was at that NCS game too. Looked good for about a quarter. Second half, not so much. Good college atmosphere and a nice stadium.

It's the MIX of the running game which has the Wolf Pack leading, so far. Nothing more and nothing less.

If your Hurricanes don't have a ' respectable ' running game against Clemson, it will be a bery, bery, bery, bery long game for Harris and the Cane 0-line. That's all.

Because rest assure Hurricane fandom, the Tiger will bring ESCALATE the pressure on J12.

So, that means Calvin is Person Non Grata forever and ever.

I guess he's ' flaws ' were too X-rated for the Canespace teeny bopper crowd. LMAO

pbcfrcane13

Sucks but he was right. Saying everything that comes out of his hand is soft unlike Wilson. Funny thing is you see Harris has the the arm to throw it in there when he wants to.

Wasn't the coach of GT called a genius just 2 years ago?
