Miami Hurricanes: Destined For Greatness?

Take another drink of the orange Kool-Aid folks, Miami Hurricanes football is back!

And if you believe that, I have a bridge I want to sell you in New York City.

Yes, a win against Florida State is big.

A win against Georgia Tech, bigger, especially when both are on national television.

But hold the National Championship prognostication.

The 'Canes are definitely an improved ballclub, and the weakness of the ACC this season may help contribute to a 10-win season.

But to say this team may win the National Championship, or even get there, is a bit premature.

I respect the 'Canes attitude after some predicted an 0-4 start to their season, but let's rehash the wins.

Georgia Tech doesn't even have a quarterback that can throw the ball. If quarterback Josh Nesbitt does have the ability, Yellow Jackets' coach Paul Johnson has yet to use it.

Also, the Tech defense was very suspect after the Clemson game.

Everyone calm down. If Georgia Tech and Florida State continue to struggle the way the have so far, neither team may be ranked at the end of the season.

After being beat by Miami, the Florida State Seminoles wanted to hit someone, hard, and they did right?

Wrong, they beat tiny Jacksonville State by a final of 19-9. They only won by that much courtesy of a State fumble in the last minute after a touchdown by FSU with only :35 on the clock.

While on the surface, the 'Canes have definitely beaten two solid teams, I don't believe the caliber of the ACC is such as was expected at the beginning of the season.

And Hurricanes quarterback, Jacory Harris, has played phenomenally, completing 20-of-25 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns.

Harris threw passes deep, underneath the coverage, and almost always on target.

He is unquestionably an uncommon talent.

But is he enough to lead the Hurricanes to the National Championship?

No.
