On Thursday evening, QB Jacory Harris threw for 287 yards and 3 TD's leading the Miami, FL. Hurricanes past Georgia Tech 33-17. Miami pretty much dominated the game completely shutting down the triple option attack of the Yellow Jackets. In fact, RB Jonathan Dwyer only carried 3 times before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury. On offense, the Canes' offensive line played very well and gave Harris plenty of time to find receivers running open across the middle. New Offensive Coordinator Mark Whipple looks like he's got the Miami offense humming and it looks like Harris has settled in and is very comfortable with the offensive play calling and overall scheme. As of now, it looks like Miami is the class of the ACC. We'll know more tomorrow after Virginia Tech hosts Nebraska and of course next week, the Canes' travel north to Blacksburg, VA.
FINAL: Miami, FL. 33-Georgia Tech 17
In a shootout, the 10th ranked Broncos of Boise St. outlasted Fresno St. 51-34. Broncos QB Kellen Moore threw for 181 yards and 3 TD's. In a losing effort, Bulldogs TB Ryan Mathews rushed for 234 yards on 19 carries that included TD runs of 66, 60 and 62 yards. Boise jumped out to a quick 24-3 lead and it looked like it was over but to Fresno State's credit (and Mathews running) the Bulldogs made a valliant comeback. I think once Boise St. took that big lead in the first half then kind of took their foot off the pedal. Remember they took apart Fresno St. last year 61-10. The teams combined for 987 yards of total offense. Boise St. still has to travel to Tulsa (which could be tough) and Hawaii. In the future, the Broncos defense will have to tackle much better in open space.
FINAL: Boise St. 51-Fresno St. 34
