The 34-3 loss by the Miami Hurricanes to Wisconsin in the Pinstripe Bowl eliminated the good feelings that the Hurricanes had after ending the regular season with two straight wins. That came on the heels of four straight losses. Three days later Miami head coach Mark Richt announced his immediate retirement.
Richt looked defeated following the bowl loss to the Badgers for the second straight season. One year after leading Miami to their first ACC Coastal Division title and ACC Championship game and Orange Bowl berths the Hurricanes slid from 10-3 in 2017 to 7-6 last season.
