Facing long odds against No. 12 Miami, Florida A&M sees matchup as an opportunity

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Colzie is a Miami native who played at Florida State and fondly remembers what it was like to play in the Orange Bowl, the Hurricanes’ former home. Ward’s numbers Ward passed for 385 yards in last week’s win at Florida, the most by a Miami quarterback in his first start as a Hurricane since at least 1979. Only two quarterbacks in the last 25 years have thrown for at least 600 yards through two games of a Miami season: Ken Dorsey had 659 yards to open Miami’s 2001 national-title year, and Jacory Harris passed for 656 yards in the first two games of 2009. Close to home Miami’s first five games this season are all in the state of Florida: the opener at the Gators, Saturday against Florida A&M, next week at home against Ball State, a Sept. 21 trip to Tampa to play South Florida, and finally the Atlantic Coast Conference opener at home on Sept. 27 against Virginia Tech.
