The Miami Hurricanes, unlike other college football programs, are not publicizing the number of COVID-19 cases on their team this season, but UM coach Manny Diaz hinted about as much as he could on Monday morning as to the nature of the six late scratches ahead of Saturday night’s 19-14 win over Virginia.
Postgame Saturday night, Diaz declined to comment, saying, “They were unavailable. That’s really all we can say about that.”
For the 2020 season, Miami is announcing players as “unavailable” an hour before game kickoffs, but not specifying reasons. Eight players showed up on that pregame unavailability report Saturday night.
