Virginia and Florida State should be the most challenging games for Miami the remainder of the season. The excuses for Miami is over. To quote late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis Miami just has to “win baby.” Florida was supposed to be the best defense Miami would play and Sam Howell of North Carolina the best QB.
