Mercifully, the Hurricanes are back in action tomorrow, resuming conference play against an estranged opponent in the Boston College Eagles. Led by head coach Steve Addazio, the ACC Atlantic Eagles are scrapping to stay in contention for the Atlantic crown with the likes of Clemson and NC State. Similar to the Canes, the Eagles are coming off a bye week. Unfortunately, the Hurricanes have endured an onslaught of criticism based on the offensive performance against Virgina two weeks ago.
With dreams of making it back to Charlotte for the ACC Championship game, Miami needs this win to stay in contention in the ACC Coastal race — and, more importantly, they need to illustrate that the program has not plateaued under the current regime.
