If you are a Miami Hurricanes fan, you probably stopped watching Saturday’s game after the first half. If you were one of the few brave fans who continued watching, odds are your eyes weren’t glued to the TV and rightfully so, as the Canes lost 44-13 to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game Saturday. With a difference in score greater than 30, fans are within reason to ask: what went wrong for the Hurricanes in their season opener?
Despite head coach Manny Diaz’s insistence that the team “came here to compete,” the Hurricanes didn’t put up a great fight.
