Several Canes sustained bumps and bruise, but a couple might be worse, though University of Miami coach Mark Richt said after the game he was hoping otherwise.
Junior receiver Ahmmon Richards, who underwent knee surgery last November, went out of the game late in the first quarter after his 9-yard catch brought the Canes to the UM 34.
Richards was a freshman All-American who broke UM’s freshman receiving record (840 yards set by MIchael Irvin in 1985) with 934 yards in 2016. Last season was a debilitating one for Richards injury-wise, as he also sustained an ankle sprain and severe hamstring injury.
