TAMPA _ Running back Graig Cooper summed it up best when asked about this year's improvement. "We just grew up." That pretty much explains the success of the Hurricanes. This team is built around young players who are finally understanding what it takes. That's what it boils ...

TAMPA _ It's official. Left tackle Jason Fox will not play today against South Florida. Bad news for the Hurricanes, who are already thin at offensive line. The setback comes at the worst time because USF has a pair of talented defensive ends in George Selvie and Jason Pierre-Paul. Expect ...

CORAL GABLES _ Damien Berry has one philosophy when running the ball. He always want to be the one dishing out the punishment. "If you're not a defensive lineman or a legit linebacker, I'm going to run through you," Berry said. "When I look up and see nothing but one guy (in ...

If you expect UM basketball coach Frank Haith to do cartwheels after his team's 5-0 start, then think again. Although pleased, Haith knows he still has a young team. A very young team. "To be honest with you, we've got a really spring-chicken type of team," Haith said. "They're ...

Let's be honest. The ACC had a bad reputation early in the season. The top-tier teams were exposed as frauds. The bottom-feeders lost to Division I-AA teams. Before midseason, no school emerged as a real candidate to challenge for a national championship or showed worthy of a high ranking. ...

Leonard Hankerson is beginning to notice a trend. Each game, he often faces man coverage and the defensive backs play much closer to the line of scrimmage compared to UM's other speedy receivers. Hankerson thinks opponents have been listening to much to those who says he's a possession ...

Here's how I graded the Hurricanes after their 34-16 victory against Duke: Offense -- A-minus It's hard to argue the fact UM gained nearly 500 yards. If it weren't been for a couple turnovers inside the 25, the outcome probably would have been decided before early in the fourth quarter. ...

I'll be honest. I wasn't sure if the UM basketball team would follow through on coach Frank Haith's plan to get Dwayne Collins the ball. The Hurricanes have relied on their strength the last two seasons, which is perimeter play. And it didn't help that Collins was almost non-existent the first ...
