Miami Hurricanes Ranked 14th After Bye Week

stateoftheu

With former Hurricane quarterback, Mark Richt leading the program Miami football finds themselves back in the AP poll for the first time since 2013. The Hurricanes are now 3-0 and up to No. 15 in the polls. Richt said about the ranking, “It’s good for recruiting. The ESPN ticker is going to show what’s going on with the top 15 over and over. Right now, it’s not a bad place to be.’’

Last Saturday Miami trounced Appalachian State 45-10 and they have this weekend off before starting conference play. On October 1 the Hurricanes will head into Dodd Stadium to face off against the undefeated Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Junior quarterback Brad Kaaya had his best game of the season against Appalachian State completing 21 of 27 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns. It was Kaaya's eighth time throwing for over 300 yards in his career and the 49th career touchdown which moved up into a tie for third all-time at Miami.

Game-By-Game Predictions For Rest of Season

Oct 1 at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Yellow Jackets are currently 3-0 but Mark Richt is 8-0 against the Yellow Jackets at Dodd Stadium. Miami can't allow Georgia Tech to control the clock all game with their option offense.

Miami 31 Georgia Tech 17

Oct. 8 vs Florida State Seminoles

Miami hasn't beaten Florida State since 2009 but this year the streak will finally end.

Miami 38 Florida State 35

Oct.15 North Carolina Tar Heels

After a big win against FSU, the Hurricanes can't afford a letdown

Miami 34 North Carolina 27

Oct. 20 at Virginia Tech Hokies

Going into Lane Stadium and getting a win isn't an easy task but this Miami team is loaded on offense and should be able to make some explosive plays against a shaky Hokie defense.

Miami 24 VA Tech 10

Oct.29 at Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Catholics vs Convicts rivalry returns for 2016 season and I'm predicting this to be the Hurricanes first loss of the season.

Notre Dame 41 Miami 28

Nov.5 vs Pittsburgh Panthers

Following their first loss of the season, the Hurricanes will return home to blow out the Panthers.

Miami 42 Pittsburgh 14

Nov. 12 at Virginia Cavaliers

So far this season UVA has won a game and when they meet the Hurricanes in November they may still be winless. The Hurricanes will go into Charlottesville, Va and dominate the Wahoos.

Miami 38 Virginia 7

Nov. 19 at North Carlina State Wolfpack

Its the second to last week of the regular season and the Hurricanes are clicking on all cylinders.

Miami 45 NC State 24

Nov.26 vs Duke Blue Devils

Last season this game produced one of the most memorable endings to a college football game ever with Miami lateralling the ball eight times before scoring on the final play.

Miami 27 Duke 21

Dec. 3 ACC Championship Game

Right now Miami looks like the best team in the Coastal division if they are able to keep it up they will be at the ACC Championship Game in December playing either Clemson or Louisville.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Barn Pros

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.
