Hurricanes 14, Cougars 13
[Updated late Saturday, 9-30, after UM's 14-13 home victory over Houston...].
Back in the not-too-distant day, the line on a Houston at UM football game would have been an old wax-record number: 33 to 45. Tonight the 'Canes were favored by a modest 16. And even that must have seemed high to some considering Miami's 1-2 record going in vs. Houston's 4-0.
The question to Hurricane fans going in was: Are you nervous?
A convincing, old-school blowout probably got UM back into the lower Top 25 and relieved some heat from Larry Coker. But a struggling/barely win like this? Hmm.
Comments are welcome below on this game and where it leaves the 'Canes season. Did this game "begin the healing" (this week's UM catchphrase) or did it leave you doubting the direction of the program?
