• In the first quarter, Duke Johnson returned a kickoff 95 yards for Miami’s first score of the game. The return ties Tremain Mack (at Syracuse, 1996) for the eighth –longest kickoff return in Hurricanes history. This was Miami’s third kickoff returned for a touchdown since 2005. In 2005 against Temple, Devin Hester had a 100-yard kickoff return and Lamar Miller notched an 88-yard kickoff return at Ohio State, Sept. 11, 2010.

He is the 10th FBS player since the start of the 2006 season to have a receiving, rushing and return TD in the same game. He is also the second to complete the trifecta this season, joining Giovani Bernard (UNC).

• Johnson is the first Miami player to score four TDs in a game since Tyrone Moss did in 2005 against North Carolina. Entering Week 3, only four players in the NCAA had recorded four TDs in a game in 2012. Johnson is now averaging 14.5 yards per play.

• Johnson has 638 all-purpose yards through three games, which makes him on pace for 2,552 yards in 12 games. The single-season all-purpose mark at Miami is 2,102 by Willis McGahee.

• With his 20-yard field goal, RSr. Jake Wieclaw remains perfect this season, hitting all five of his attempts. Wieclaw is on the 2012 Lou Groza Watch List.

• So. WR Phillip Dorsett collected 49 receiving yards, passing his previous career-high of 41 yards at USF in 2011.

• Brandon McGee had a pair of pass break ups against B-CU, nearly doubling his career-total of three.

OGV...I think U know why I went with the current blog article? LOL

Well there was that and I had not been home since Tuesday at 6 AM and was dead tired and had very limited time alotted from Mrs. 86. Sometimes I just she recognizes me and hasn't changed the locks when I return home from a five day road trip to SoFl!

[86Cane]

MILLER TIME!!!

Lamar Miller scores his first NFL TD to put the Fish up 35-13 over da Raidas (Chris Berman voice).

[WWIN]

86,

Did you get my email???

[WWIN]

Is it me or does the ACC have more play makers in the NFL than the SEC???

[Zakkee]

Thanks 86.

Wow Willie, thanks actually true.

[Zakkee]

thats actually true

[Jack]

Thanks 86 I really enjoy the blogs and good coversation about our Canes!

[86Cane]

Willie...haven't even had a chance to check my email, going there now.

[WWIN]

86,

OK. I figured you was probably still on the road but idk if you had email on your phone

[WWIN]

Zakkee,

Thanks for confirming my thoughts lol

[hassan]

Hank

[CoCane]

The ACC just doesn't have the coaching the SEC has. Hopefully Golden has something to say about that...

[Account Deleted]

86 - I'm letting the weeds grow all week in preparation for saturday.....

[Zakkee]

I wasn't being sarcastic willie although it may have read that way. I was surprised about the validity of your comments seeing how the SEC is the most praised conference in CFB and to think that the ACC is supplying the league with better playmakers was surprising to me as I read it. Its true but its not supposed to be. Just saying it was a good post, thats all.

[86Cane]

Willie...got the email and responded with specific directions on what to do.

Hassan...got the photo (NICE) and sent U a response too.

Longtime...FEAR NOT THE YELLOW JACKETS! Pull the weeds now, we got this. GT will run up and down the field but UM has a great game plan to win this specific game.

[Zakkee]

Hankerson burned Janoris Jenkins (from UF)!!

[WWIN]

Zakkee,

I know you wasn't being sarcastic. I was just saying thanks for confirming my thoughts that I wasn't the only one that can see that the ACC has more play makers

Rumor from another site:

Havent seen anyone comment on how little Tracy Howard played yesterday. Antonio Crawford played significantly more than Howard. Howard played a few series, but was a backup yesterday. Why? The "why" is the problem on our defense and I have seen and heard it all last year and so far this year. With all the commentary on D'onofrio's coaching I have not made one comment, because I nor anyone else really know if it is his scheme or lack of talent. What I can comment is that the real problem is D'Onofrio is a jerk and the players don't like him or respond to him. He routinely tells them f*** you, calls them punks, tells them they suck, calls them clueless and he is mean spirited when he says it. Not to mention he blames the kids for everything, he never takes ownership for anything.

Its hard to believe D'Onofrio worked on Greg Schiano's staff because he is the anti Schiano. Schiano is/was a tough coach but he always treated the kids with respect and believe it or not rarely cursed at them. He would occasionally curse, but never directed at a kid. Schiano empowered kids and never stopped teaching and encouraging. D'Onofrio is condescending, disrespectful and just a jerk.

So what does this have to do with Tracy? He was in the doghouse yesterday. Why? Because he had enough of being treated like a dog this week in practice and talked to D'Onofrio the same way D'Onofrio talked to him and it landed him in the doghouse.

These isn't about scheme. It's not about coaches being tough because they should be. This is about respect and earning the kid's trust, Al talks about this all the time. D'Onofrio needs to change or go. These kids are tuning him out. You can only treat them badly and blame them for every mental error for so long before they all say f*** you. If the MEs are so frequent, perhaps the teaching isnt effective, perhaps you, Coach D'Onofrio, aren't putting the kids in positions where they can be successful. Take some ownership and treat the kids they way you would want to be treated. D'onofrio is the adult, he needs to act like an adult. If he doesn't change this could blow up.

Interesting rumor. Thanks.

[Jack]

Sinister - I did find it odd that Howard was not playing much yesterday. Man I hope this is just a rumor!!

[solarcane]

hmm comments getting deleted for no reason

[solarcane]

that rumor is on every site all day today with no one having the sac to name themselves as the author

only someone at prctice everyday could confirm this and that guy doesn't post here anymore

[The Dude]

Posted by: solarcane | September 16, 2012 at 08:01 PM

No need to out the whistleblowers. We will all know more eventually. But usually, where there is smoke there is fire.

[The Dude]

If the rumor is true, it could really hurt us in recruiting.

[solarcane]

dude I understanfd your point,
I just get tired of all the BSers . If you post something own it.
A lot and I mean a LOT of "If you guys knew what I know" crap is posted just to ring up hits on sites

[86Cane]

That "RUMOR" is a sack of shyte.

[solarcane]

That "RUMOR" is a sack of shyte.

hey soup finally a guy that is stand up, tell us the facts as you know them

[The Dude]

Posted by: solarcane | September 16, 2012 at 08:11 PM

I see your point.

[86Cane]

Solar...I did not delete any comments, don't know IF Ohio did?

But if U try to post the "wurd on da SK___ " it will be blocked.

Howard played a LOT yesterday we were watching him in his backpedal.

[solarcane]

soup anything on the sidelines that would indicate friction, I know ocala watches everything

[86Cane]

I have NOT heard anything about Howard being unhappy or his relationship with D'No.

I'll check with the SOURCE to get the 411 but this sounds like the TYPICAL Internet BS.

[86Cane]

Solar...no not a thing about anything like that.

We watched Duke after he hurt his shoulder and was being treated by UM medical staff (yeah nobody mentions that).

We watched the team during warmups, on the sideline during the opening kickoff, during the game and we saw nothing.

Ocala may want to chime in with anything he saw different but I saw NOTHING like what is being mentioned.

[solarcane]

I'm with you soup I think its just someone blowing up something pretty minor

This in no way says I'm backing no'D I'm just backing stating facts

[Brevardcane]

Hard to imagine golden allowing a coach to treat his players like that.

[solarcane]

^^^^ this

[Brevardcane]

I would expect them to be real with the players, like when in the raising canes when some were looking for some shade. That was awesome

[solarcane]

Can you imagine J Johnson or Spurrier or Bryant when they got pizzed off at a kid??

[Jack]

If Howard played he sure did not get his named called, lol

[Jack]

"name"

[86Cane]

AGAINST BCC:

Crawford: 1 tackle

Howard: 3 tackles

[Zakkee]

Anyone have a highlight video of the BCC game and/or footage of Lamar Miller's 1st TD?

[CGNC]

OGV I agree with your post about GT - LOL although I do remember the last time we lost to them with Romeo Davis hanging on to the hand warmer or whatever that was - ughhh remember THAT?

[86Cane]
