Jacori Harris Has Hurricanes Back in Mix

Last season Jacori Harris got plenty of playing time after Robert Marve got his first, but after Marve's transfer to Purdue this offseason, Harris has the wayward Hurricanes playing top notch football once again.
The Miami area native got prime time air a week ago Monday night, beating Florida State in a barn-burner and fighting through a shoulder injury.
Some are putting Miami all the way to the top of the polls based on their on-field performance instead of preseason predictions and they just might be in that mix as the season winds through, especially if their slender QB keeps it up!

Jumbo Errors For Jimbo Fisher


The Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State Seminoles haven't had a great game in a while, but that changed last night after a back and forth see-saw battle finally tilted in favor of the Canes on the Noles field.
I loved the game, but was bothered by the clock management of the next head coach of the FSU. While current head coach Bobby Bowden looked more like a figurehead than ever before, Jimbo Fisher seemed out of his element in play-calling down the stretch as time was winding down.
The Noles wasted at least one if not two of their time-outs as they made wholesale substitutions with the clock winding to under :20 seconds and ran option with the QB, which was stymied earlier in the game as it was again for a loss of yards and kept the clock running down.
And on third down and :05 seconds to go, he called a roll-out! This limited him to only one play! He could have had two if he would have called a quick hitting play on third down. He should have rolled out on the final play of the game if third down wasn't successful.
Hindsight is 20/20, but it wasn't pretty watching FSU "fumble" around on the final plays of the great game that it was.
