Entering fall camp, fans gushed so much about heralded University of Miami newcomer N’Kosi Perry, that redshirt junior Malik Rosier was barely an afterthought in discussing who would replace Hurricanes all-time passer Brad Kaaya.
Then Rosier won the job, and whispers of, “Rosier will start until after FSU, when Perry will ease his way in and take over,’’ abounded.
Not exactly.
Turns out after three games, with No. 13 Miami (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) heading into FSU (1-2, 1-1) for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff Saturday at Tallahassee’s Doak Campbell Stadium, Rosier has been among the most efficient, impressive quarterbacks in the nation.
