Mark Richt makes right move by sticking with N’Kosi Perry

On Saturday, the Miami Hurricanes defeated the rival Florida State Seminoles 28-27. While the end result was what Miami wanted, the game didn’t progress smoothly, by any stretch of the imagination.

Plagued by turnovers, bad special teams, and a comedy of errors on offense, the Canes found themselves facing a 20-7 deficit at halftime. And Mark Richt found himself facing a decision: stick with redshirt freshman N’Kosi Perry or go back to redshirt senior Malik Rosier at QB.

For his part, Perry’s start was inauspicious to put it mildly. He went 7/18 for 89 yards, 1 TD, 2 sacks, and a fumble in the first half.
