Miami was defeated by an undersized Maryland Terrapins monday night 32-24. It was a tough loss because despite playing without 5 starters on defense and 2 starters on offense the Miami Hurricanes were in the game the entire way holding the fast paced Maryland quick offense to only 32 points. The Miami offense which was suprisingly poor at times had numerous chances to win the game but had 4 turnovers which cost Miami 14 pts and ultimately the game. Next week is a bye and the following week is the season opener against a tough Ohio State team who won 42-0 versus Akron. While the loss hurts Miami will have 6 of the 8 starters back that were out against Ohio State.
