My, how the past eight months have flown.
The Miami Hurricanes, coming off their best season in more than a decade and yet feeling pretty crummy about it, have not been this energized, this excited, this inspired to start a new campaign since, well... Start counting.
The Hurricanes just need to count to three to know how they collapsed in 2017 after earning 10 consecutive victories — 15 if you rewind to 2016 — to relinquish a No. 2 ranking and near College Football Playoff spot in a 10-3 season.
They have spent the past eight months trying to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
