Sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya was named ACC Offensive Back of the Week after he led Miami to a 36-33 overtime victory over Nebraska last Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.
Kaaya picked up his second career ACC Player of the Week honor thanks to a career day through the air.
The California native Kaaya finished the day by going 25-of-42 for a career-high 379 yards. He also tossed a pair of touchdowns and had just one interception.
Kaaya has now thrown a touchdown pass in 16 consecutive games, while his second-half interception was his first in 110 attempts.
The Hurricanes are off this week and will return to action on Oct. 1 as they travel to Cincinnati for a Thursday night matchup against the Bearcats.

Miami Hurricanes: Freshman Jaquan Johnson May See Serious Playing Time Against Bearcats

This could be the game where JJ earns a big role and doesn't relinquish it, due to suspensions. He's been mostly ST up to this point.
And he's been fantastic on ST, too.

That 3 yd. rule had nothing to do with that TD, the CB just screwed up. Basic football, don't come up until the ball crosses the LOS.

Cincinnati game will be good test for the Def. ..they will score. ..that being said. ..if we get a comfortable lead....let's put in some guys like Rosier...cager, langham, etc....Walton and gray - dude needs some game experience. ..and get outta there....then. ..rubber officially meets road for this team! God bless all my Canes family and special prayers for Mr Gayot and his family! Amen.

Anyone who didn't get the opportunity to live through the memories the OB provided some of us, really missed out on something that will never happen again anywhere.
Yes the dominant way we played the game back then compared to the rest of college football was amazing, but it was just a part of the overall feeling that place oozed.
It was the most unique experience in all of sports.

VERY interesting:
Defensive Play Calling
Miami’s defense was much more even on the play calling for the defensive line playing 2 gap or 1 gap technique compared to the FAU game. Miami played 1 gap technique on 15 snaps, averaging 6.1 yards on these runs. Nebraska averaged 3.5 yards on the 10 snaps Miami 2 gapped.
For formations, Miami lined up in a 3-4 on 31 snaps, allowing 3.7 yards on these plays. Miami played 19 snaps in a 4-3, allowing 4.8 yards per. Miami played nickel on 32 snaps allowing 8.1 ypp. Miami blitzed on 20 pass plays, with Nebraska averaging 8.2 on these plays. When rushing 3 or 4, Miami averaged giving up 4.8 yards on 37 pass attempts.

Nice!
UM’s Corn Elder is Nation’s No. 1 Graded Corner
The Miami Hurricanes had seven players drafted last May, with five getting their name called in the first three rounds.
Naturally, many questioned where the next wave of playmakers would come from (after quarterback Brad Kaaya) during a hot-seat season for Al Golden.
In steps Corn Elder, Miami’s starter at nickel corner to begin the season, and now Pro Football Focus’ top ranked corner in the country through Week 3. Although the cornerback grades fluctuate from week to week, he’s coming off a stellar performance against Nebraska, which included hauling in an overtime interception that would lead to a Canes’ victory.
He headlined PFF’s Dream Team heading into Week 4 after his one-interception, two knockdown game. He’s been excellent in coverage this season, allowing only three catches for 19 yards on nine attempts.
Corn also has one punt return for a touchdown (another that was called back), a sack, and a recovered fumble. He’ll figure to have plenty of playmaking opportunities next Thursday night when Miami takes on a dynamic Cincinnati offense averaging 413 passing yards a game (2nd in FBS).

Marlins Man spends the money but he's a canes hater. Believe that.
Posted by: Lurker | September 25, 2015 at 02:46 PM
He can play both, but I think Corn is a better zone CB...He makes hits that the Safeties should be making. He'd be a perfect fit in Lovie Smith's Tampa-2 scheme.

Where's the proof that he wouldn't have done better at RB? RB depth was low... who shoulda got the nod... Corn or Dallas?
I know you looking to give Golden credit for something but he gets none for this lol! Why? Because it was the normal thing to do for a player his size
Posted by: WWIN | September 25, 2015 at 06:27 PM
I would think the proof he's not better at running back is the fact he's not playing running back.

Posted by: Go Canes | September 25, 2015 at 08:41 PM
The smart argument is this: if I was Corn's advisor/family, I'd be THRILLED Golden put him in as a DB, especially a CB. Absolutely, 200% thrilled!! It's the best thing that could have ever happened to him.
Why would anyone want Corn to be an RB is beyond me.
Best personnel move, or close to it, that Golden has made - both for the team & Corn.
I have a reason for saying this. Guess.
