Since their season ended in disappointing fashion with a loss to Wisconsin in the Orange Bowl, the Miami Hurricanes have endured offseason conditioning work, spring practice and summer workouts.
Saturday morning, they’ll return to Greentree Practice Field and a new season will begin in earnest. For three weeks, there will be position battles and depth-chart shifts, scrimmages and soon enough, they will shift into preparation mode, their eyes set on their Sept. 2 opener against LSU.
The Hurricanes will go through all of that knowing they face some of the highest preseason expectations they’ve had in years.
