The Miami Hurricanes have long been considered the Hell's Angels of college football. That's not fair, since the majority of players don't even own motorcycles.
Now, through the magic of ACC officiating, Miami has been handed a rare gift. And I don't mean the 30-27 "win" over Duke on Saturday night.
I mean a chance to throw its reputation back in the faces of all those who think the Hurricanes are a bunch of rule-breaking, fatigue-wearing, party-yacht football rowdies.
Sadly, Miami has chosen to punt.
It will not forfeit a game everyone agrees it lost.
