Davon Reed scored 18 points, Bruce Brown added 17 and Ja'Quan Newton chipped in 14 as Miami blew out reeling Pittsburgh 72-46 on Saturday.
The Hurricanes (12-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a two-game losing streak by smothering the Panthers. The Hurricanes outrebounded Pitt 37-23 and held Pitt (12-6, 1-4) to just 34 percent shooting (18 of 53).
Jamel Artis led Pitt with 15 points a game after going for a career-high 43 in a loss to Louisville on Wednesday. Chris Jones scored 10 points for the Panthers, who have dropped three straight.
Pitt played without forward Ryan Luther, who sat out with an injured right foot. Senior forward Michael Young played with a mask on his face to protect his right eye. Young missed all 10 of his field goal attempts, his two points coming on a pair of free throws early in the second half.
Miami used a 14-0 run spanning the end of the first half and the beginning of the second to turn a competitive game into a blowout. The Panthers went 9:37 between field goals as Miami's advantage ballooned from 29-27 to 46-31.
The Hurricanes never came close to giving it up. After some early issues taking care of the ball, Miami effectively picked the Panthers apart defensively. The Hurricanes outscored Pitt 34-20 in the paint and converted Panther turnovers into 19 points at the other end of the floor.
With the win over Pittsburgh, Coach L earned his 600th career victory, posting a 600-395 mark in 33 seasons as a head coach. With 600 wins, he is one of five ACC coaches with 600 victories, and the other four men are in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Coach L has won 27 games at American International, 170 at Bowling Green, 273 at George Mason and 130 at Miami.
So much for the NFL going to spread offense and running QBs. Matt Ryan, Aaron Rogers, and Tom Brady are in the AFC/NFC championship games. If the Steelers win, that's four traditional pro style QBs

Aaron Rodgers.
Wow.

He's no Brad Kaaya.
Posted by: BEERicane | January 15, 2017 at 08:29 PM
GB played plenty of spread formations in that game. And while they're not running QBs, Rodgers & Rapistburglar aren't exactly lead-footed QBs...Rodgers made it happen just as much with His legs on that last throw.

Dang no mention of Devin Hester: 34 years old. 194 yards in kickoff returns and an 80 yard punt return called back for a holding call in one game. He's calling it quits
Posted by: Old Skool | January 15, 2017 at 09:06 PM
Looking at Njok2 I dont believe he's less than 210. I dont think he will be a traditional TE. I think he will be out wide in the slot a bunch. We'll see.

Oh I see. You want him to be bigger then what he is. Ok...
Posted by: CoCane | January 15, 2017 at 09:53 PM
I think it just depends on you definition of TE in todays football.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 15, 2017 at 10:20 PM
Uh huh
Lol
Posted by: CoCane | January 15, 2017 at 10:23 PM
Evidence reminds me of Horace Copeland, kid's light as hell on His feet, and seems to have better hands than David.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 15, 2017 at 10:33 PM
But if Cager steps up, I think we RS Evidence.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 15, 2017 at 10:34 PM
Cager and Dionte Mullins will have a chance. Berrios should start and might have his best year as a receiver
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | January 15, 2017 at 10:40 PM
And Im saying that kid is bigger than his listed weight. He lookd like Graham to me.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 15, 2017 at 11:04 PM
Njok2 jumps sky high. Gonna be hard to leave him off the field in the redzone. Hes got the wingspan of a condor and hes already an okay blocker.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 15, 2017 at 11:07 PM
Trust me Co, I am a 5 star expert.

Speaking of the Njokus, they have an impressive family.

Well you know more than the coaches do about him 😂😂😂

Another great football playoff game
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | January 15, 2017 at 11:18 PM
Njoku looks much taller than his brother but rail thin to me. Don't see 220 on that frame right now.
Looks like Randy Moss more than Jimmy Graham's build.

Not to me, he looks muck thicker than Moss to me. But again... we shall see.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 16, 2017 at 12:07 AM
Lets ask the fatso on this blog about Evidence. Do you think he can gain the weight he needs to be TE?
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | January 16, 2017 at 12:16 AM
If you look at David back in high school he was skinnier too. I think Evidence can and will put pounds on that frame. 6'5" ish, 235 ish, monster.

Lol. Yeah Epi. Lets hear you pile on! With the reaction Im getting, you'd think I said Kaaya was a good QB on this blog! I simply think he'll out grow WR. Its wait and see I could be wrong, but I dont think I am.

Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 16, 2017 at 12:26 AM
I'd agree that He has the same build as Moss, but athletically, Moss was in another galaxy.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 16, 2017 at 12:38 AM
Absolutely CR. It was just a build reference not a talent comparison.

If you google image Evidence there are dozens of pics and he's skinny as f*ck in all of them. Almost N'kosi Perry skinny. If he's 190 it's because of height. In David's high school pics he's clearly thicker when compared to Evidence now. Which is why Evidence will be a WR in college.

STARS MATTER
College football recruiting rankings update as of Jan. 15, 2017, following the dead period for the 2017 recruiting class with two weeks left until National Signing Day.
Campusinsiders.com has UM ranked 15, one spot ahead of Clemson but 8 spots below number 7 FSU. The SEC has 9 teams in the top 25, including Alabama and Georgia as the top 2.

-----------------------------------------
That was me.
Too many things go public when they should be kept quiet. Especially a flip of a player who has a coach on the other staff that's like family to him.
Like the Jeudy visit coming out too soon. Almost didn't get him on campus because it got reported.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 16, 2017 at 09:16 AM
BUT, reporters aren't going to care, unless they also love UM. They just wanna break news and be first.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 16, 2017 at 09:17 AM
Same thing goes with this Shawn Davis stuff and UF. They botched his paperwork to be an EE (similar to us with Powell a few years ago), and he contacted Miami to try to get in. But the news goes public and he has to deny it publicly, hurting our chances.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 16, 2017 at 09:18 AM
Another EE cleared to begin classes!
Robert Burns set to enroll this week
Miami running back signee Robert Burns is set to begin classes at UM this week, a Gulliver source confirmed to CanesInSight.
It was reported elsewhere that Burns had not been cleared yet due to "paperwork", but a Gulliver coach told CanesInSight that it had to do with the fact that Burns was finishing up a virtual course that has now been completed.

This is what makes me believe we get Smith! If he OV's that last weekend as planned, which is THE MOST important weekend IMO, no way he's not ours! If they didn't want Jeudy to visit but they willing to let him visit on that weekend???
Posted by: WWIN | January 16, 2017 at 09:47 AM
I dont think hes 220, but I do think hes over 210.
Posted by: The Dude | January 16, 2017 at 12:21 AM
He is a dozen donuts short of 210. Once he gets to UM under a proper nutrition program we will see.
