The destination is not immediately clear, but comes into focus. The mist of the early season dissipates as you approach and the sun seers through the remainder of the fog ahead. The University of Miami emerges a different team than what the world saw on September 2nd. With a newfound identity, united against a hated rival, the Hurricanes’ transformation appears to have hit full bloom.
The timing couldn’t have been any better. With rivals Florida State making the trip down to South Florida, the stakes of this game transcend your average win/loss scenario. It’s more than holding a victory over a rival until next year’s meeting.
