With the defeat of Georgia Tech last night 33-17 the University of Miami is positioning itself as the team to beat in the ACC and the rise back to national prominence may be occurring in Coral Gables.
Miami came out focused on the task at hand and shut down the Tech option limiting them to just 228 total yards and just 95 yards on the ground. Cane QB Jacory Harris had another solid game going 20/25 for 270 yards and threw 3 touchdowns against no interceptions. Harris in my mind should be considered in any Heisman talk at this time. If he is as strong in the next two games as he was against FSU and Georgia Tech he may be a front-runner especially if they are victories.
It seemed that the old "U" was back. They had some big plays made some even bigger hits and the crowd was loud.
While only two games have been played for Miami so far , they have both been against ranked teams on national television and it shows that Miami is ready for the big stage. Their next two games are also against ranked opponents as they travel to Blacksburg to play Virginia Tech (#13) and then they get Sam Bradford and Oklahoma (#12) at home. It is a brutal schedule to start the season and if Miami can come out 4-0 a top ten ranking is in the works maybe even higher.
After the next two games the schedule lightens up a bit with just one more game against a ranked opponent, Nov. 14 @ North Carolina (#24).
Miami is showing they are capable of running the table and all they need to do is follow through with execution the rest of the season and the "U" will be well on the way to reclaiming that the mystique and swagger that we all love to hate about the University of Miami.
