1.  Duke Johnson needs just 34 more yards to become Miami’s all-time career leading rusher.

2. Johnson has out rushed Miami’s opponents by a 806-502 count in the last five games.

3. Miami owns a 5-1 record at home this season has outscored its opponents 232-121 in six home games.  

4. Senior linebacker Denzel Perryman tied a career high last week at Virginia with 15 tackles.

We recommend that the Hurricanes finish STRONG.

That or their head coach may NOT be here for long.

First!

[VfB_Cane]

Duke & Perryman & Walford deserve to go out on a high note (including bowl game).

So let's hope the game allows us to ignore the coaching situation and enjoy Hurricane football for a few hours.

Hello?

[UpNorthCane27]

Lets go CANES!!!!

I WISH WE HAD AN AGGRESSIVE Defense!!!

[VfB_Cane]

Pretty quiet here. I guess everybody's busy flying banners over Miami Gardens.

[VfB_Cane]

Winston through three quarters: 9 completions, 4 INT. Treon Harris doesn't look so sharp either. So at least at QB we rule the state of Florida.

VA Cane... In post on the last blog u said Al can't coach up the team vs average or better opponents. Last week we got our a$$ handed to us by a team that's not going to a bowl game. Al can't even out coach bad teams in the worst division in the power 5.

[AfriCane]

shame about florida players that went to UF is they could have come to Miami and made us better and winning big by now. a la Dubose. instead they are blocking each other at the swamp now.

LETS GO CANES!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[Alex]

I love Miami, but if losing today means Al is out, I will hold my nose and dig into that pile of crap.

[SinisterCane]

[The Dude]

Hopefully this game continues towards Al's firing.

[toledocane]

f'ing baylor vs. ttu is pissing me off- going so long sux- have to sit here on the computer and listen to this shit while we get marched on in the first 2 minutes- i'm almost ready to call for al's head like many on this forum!

[Sarasota 'cane]

WE GOT THIS?

Posted by: SinisterCane | November 29, 2014 at 07:18 PM

Love the question mark!

[The Dude]

I feel like this game will have some impact on Al's future so I am rooting for Pitt. I won't talk ish here out of respect for those who root for the Canes regardless. Everyone needs to understand that Al has to go.

[BEERicane]

We are a boring team

[BEERicane]

Very boring.

[TonyCane]

Darth Sidious clasps his hands together and cackles from his press box - "everything is proceeding as I have planned it"

[miamicane]

I know we want to establish the run but look at what they are pitting in the box geeezzz

[86Cane]

Our offensive play calling SUCXKS!

[86Cane]

IT IS ALL ON THE OFFENSE.

[miamicane]

Al has no clue how to game plan the way we did in the old days. Its just not our style. Wrong coaches are in control

[The Dude]

I can't even watch, so I'm not.

[VfB_Cane]

Our offensive play calling SUCXKS!

At this point, I think we're way beyond singling out one aspect of our game that underperforms.

[miamicane]

[miamicane]

[AfriCane]

[WWIN]

Pitt 14 psu 3

[AfriCane]

this is coaching

[Sarasota 'cane]

Well if both teams continue to run, this thing will over in about 2 hours.

[CoCane]

The defense, offense, coaches and special teams all suck azz. How can you call out just 1 aspect?
