The Miami Hurricanes impressed some people last night with their 34-17 beat down of #20 Texas A&M. Head Coach Randy Shannon was able to get his kids fired up for this game and it showed on both sides of the ball.
The Hurricanes used all weapons on offense. RB Graig Cooper rushed for a score and caught a pass for a touchdown. With erratic QB Kirby Freeman on the bench the Canes' offense looked more fluid with QB Kyle Wright, who completed 21-26 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns. The Aggies were knocked out of their offensive game as the Canes' Defense held them to only 98 yards on the ground, they average about 200 plus rushing yards a game.
Miami has improved their Thursday night record to 11-1 all time and 10-0 at home. They had to win this game, not only for national prominence but for themselves. After getting embarrassed by #4 Oklahoma 51-17, the Canes' needed to salvage some respect and learn to appreciate the U on their Helmets. When you play for the U your playing for a culture not a football team.
