Florida State at Miami Hurricanes: Week 6 Game Info
The Miami Hurricanes enter the game as healthy as they have been in weeks. Safety Jaquan Johnson is expected to return after missing the last 2.5 games. Linebacker Shaq Quarterman who sat out over half the win against North Carolina is expected to return on Saturday as is his backup Mike Smith who was also hurt last week.
Aside from the players that were already known to be lost for the season or a significant amount of time the only player will continue to be out for Saturday’s game is wide receiver, Ahmmon Richards. Richards suffered a bone bruise on his knee in the season opener against LSU after catching one pass for nine yards.
Earlier this week Miami Head Coach Mark Richt said that Richards is not expected back anytime soon. With Richards out, Sophomores Jeff Thomas and Mike Harley and Junior Lawrence Cager have stepped up and been clutch.
