The university of Miami has been known for its historical greatness. 5 National championships since 1980 have given fans much to brag about. But the past is about all Hurricane fans have to cheer about today as they lose to a less than mediocre North Carolina team. It was a revenge game of sorts for North Carolina head coach Butch Davis as he was the coach at Miami from 1995 to 2001. Although he downplayed the significance of coaching against his former team it was apparent that he had his team ready to play against the hurricanes. Miami on the other hand looked to have slept through the first half. After two quarters of play the tar heels accumulated a 27-0 lead.
First year head coach Randy Shannon made some excellent half time adjustments and the Hurricanes came out firing on all cylinders in the second half and stormed back to score 20 points unanswered in the 3rd quarter. The Hurricanes Comeback was halted when quarterback Kyle Wright threw an interception, his 4th of the day, in the red zone, in the 4th quarter. As the clock read 0:00 the Hurricanes effort fell short 27-33.
The new regime under Randy Shannon has just begun and all fans will continue to hold out hope that he will be the man that turns this program around and returns them to glory. However one thing that coach Shannon must do is win the games that the team is expected to win, and at this juncture the team has failed to do that. So as the hurricanes begin their ACC schedule they have fallen to 1-1 against in conference foes and all fans can do is hope that history will at some point repeat itself, because at "The U" rebuilding is not an option and loosing a game like this against a weak North Carolina team is unacceptable
