The Miami Hurricanes lost 30-28 in heartbreaking fashion. The east end zone was simply cursed for the Hurricanes on Thursday night. The Virginia Cavaliers benefited from a safety, a fluke TD and ultimately a kicked football that kissed the left upright. Bronco Mendenhall and the hoo boys escaped Hard Rock Stadium with a win.
Protection issues continue to plague this offensive line. Early on in the contest on third down a zone blitz essentially confused the Hurricanes. When three offensive linemen decide to block one guy, it means someone else is stuck holding the bag.
