MIAMI
Miami covered last week’s two point spread against Boston College, winning by a score of 41-32.
Hurricanes frosh Duke Johnson was the highlight maker. He scored from 54 and 56 yards out, en route to rushing for 135 total yards. Stephen Morris threw for 207 yards and a TD.
“I’m not going to broadcast myself or anything like that,” Johnson said. “It’s one game. I try to stay to myself…” Johnson’s humbleness is refreshing, and should serve him well as he begins what could be a very illustrious college career.
The win improved the Hurricanes to 24-5 all-time against Boston College, who had won the last two match ups. The self-imposed ban last year kept the Hurricanes out of bowl play.
This game will prove to be a much bigger challenge, as the Hurricanes have lost 10 of their last 11 against Top 25 opponents since 2005, and K-State is a ranked team.
KANSAS STATE
K-State stomped Missouri State 51-9 last week in their home opener. The Wildcats got off to a slow start, leading only 9-6 at the half, but came back to score 42 in the second half, 35 of which were in the game’s final quarter.
Collin Klein threw two second half TDs and John Hubert ran 95 yards for a fourth quarter score. Hubert finished with 152 yards rushing, and Braden Wilson & Daniel Sams both added rushing TDs. Tramaine Thompson returned a punt 89 yards, too.
“We talked about starting fast, and we started real slow. A lot of guys were anxious,” Chris Harper commented. Harper caught one of the TD passes.
Field goal kicker Anthony Cantele (3 of 3) echoed Harper’s sentiments, “Startin off that way, I was like “oh, no, not again.” Cantele added that the “offense pulled it off again.”
Klein commented that they “were able to get things correct” and “were better at the end of the game than at the start.” While both statements are fairly obvious, Klein and the Wildcats realize that they must get things correct early against a much tougher opponent this week.
