The Hurricanes are coached by Randy Shannon and play their home games at Land Shark Stadium (formerly "Dolphin Stadium"). Miami is seeking to build on a 7-6 2008 campaign that saw the Hurricanes embark on their first five-game winning streak since 2005 and return to the post-season with a berth in the Emerald Bowl. Unranked and unheralded during the preseason, Miami returned to the polls with back-to-back wins over ranked opponents to start the season.

The following day, redshirt freshman quarterback Robert Marve, who had been suspended for the Emerald Bowl due to academic reasons, was granted conditional release from his scholarship and announced he would be transferring.[2] Marve had started 11 of 13 games for Miami in 2008, and his transfer would result in true freshman Jacory Harris officially becoming the team's starting quarterback for 2009. Harris had played in all 13 games in 2008, starting in two of them. On January 20, 2009, it was announced that defensive coordinator Bill Young would be leaving Miami to become the defensive coordinator of his alma mater, Oklahoma State University.[3] This left Shannon with the task of having to replace two coordinators in the same off-season. Shannon made the first hire on January 27, when Mark Whipple was hired to be the team's new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, in addition to being named assistant head coach.[4] On February 12, John Lovett was hired as the team's new defensive coordinator.[5] Miami began spring practice on February 24, and held their spring game on March 28.[6] Practice for the fall began on August 8 [7]. Several injuries occurred during practices; defensive end Adewale Ojomo sustained a broken jaw during a locker room incident that could keep him out the whole season [8]. Defensive end Eric Moncur visited a specialist in Philadelphia on August 19 to have a groin injury examined and was held out of some practices, while defensive end Gavin Hardin was held out of camp with an unknown injury.[9] On August 25, backup quarterbacks Taylor Cook and Cannon Smith both announced that they had requested and obtained a release for transfer to other schools.[10] This left true freshman A.J. Highsmith as the second team backup to Jacory Harris. [edit] Roster changes Starting tight end Dedrick Epps suffered a torn ACL in practices leading up to the Emerald Bowl in December, keeping him out of spring practice. His status for the 2009 season is uncertain.[11] Jimmy Graham, a former forward on the Miami basketball team, announced in April that he would be joining the football team for the 2009 season as a tight end.[12] Graham had not played football since high school. Due to lack of depth at the cornerback position, receiver Sam Shields and safety Ryan Hill were moved to cornerback before the start of spring, where they will remain for 2009. Defensive end Allen Bailey was moved permanently to defensive tackle, and safety CJ Holton was moved from safety to linebacker. Several players from 2008 either transferred or left the team, including quarterback Robert Marve, receiver Jermaine McKenzie, running back Shawnbrey McNeal, and offensive lineman Christopher Barney. On February 6, Miami announced its 2009 recruiting class, of which there were 19 members, and six of which were early enrolees who participated in spring practice.[13] Two signees failed to qualify: offensive tackle Malcom Bunche and defensive back Prince Kent.[14] [edit] Recruiting Class of 2009 Name Pos Ht Wt Hometown High School/Prep School/Junior College Ray Ray Armstrong S 6-4 218 Sanford, FL Sanford Seminole HS Malcolm Bunche OT 6-6 315 Newark, DE Newark HS Dyron Dye DE 6-4 215 Sanford, FL Sanford Seminole HS Shayon Green LB 6-2 225 Tifton, GA Tifton County HS A.J.

[edit] Game notes [edit] Florida State 1 2 3 4 Total Miami 7 7 3 21 38 #19 Florida State 7 3 13 11 34 See also: 2009 Florida State Seminoles football team and Miami – Florida State rivalry Miami kicked off its 2009 campaign with a nationally-televised ESPN Labor Day night game against archrival Florida State. In a thrilling game that featured seven lead changes, Miami emerged victorious with a hard-fought 38-34 upset win. The victory was not secured until the final play of the game when a pass from Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder bounced incomplete in the Miami end zone. The Hurricanes rode the arm of quarterback Jacory Harris, who, in only his third career start, completed 21 of 34 passes for 386 yards and 2 touchdowns against 2 interceptions. In the process, Harris set the record for most passing yards by a Miami quarterback against Florida State. Harris also rushed for a touchdown. A seesaw first half saw Miami take a 14-10 lead to the locker room on the strength of a 39-yard touchdown pass from Harris to Travis Benjamin and a 6-yard touchdown run by Javarris James. Momentum swung to the Florida State side in the third quarter, as the Seminoles outscored Miami 13-3 to take a 23-17 lead heading into a back-and-forth fourth quarter. Harris put the Hurricanes back in front early in the fourth with a 1-yard touchdown off a quarterback sneak, but the lead was short-lived. On Miami's next possession, Harris was hit as he released the ball and was intercepted by defensive end Markus White, who returned the interception 31 yards for a Florida State touchdown. The Seminoles then successfully converted a two-point attempt, making up for an earlier missed extra point, and took a 31-24 lead. Unfazed, Harris responded by orchestrating a 10-play, 73-yard drive that culminated with a 24-yard game-tying touchdown pass to Graig Cooper. Florida State then inched back ahead with a 44-yard field goal. Trailing by 3, Miami took possession with 4:11 remaining and after a series of short gains, crossed into Florida State territory. On second-and-five from the Florida State 43-yard line, Harris lofted a 40-yard pass to Benjamin, who was able to get behind double coverage, catch the ball in stride near the left sideline, and get one foot down before his momentum took him out of bounds at the 3. Cooper rushed 3 yards for a touchdown on the next play, putting Miami back in front, 38-34, with under 2 minutes to play. A 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration and a short kickoff allowed Florida State to start its final drive at the Miami 49-yard line. A 30-yard rush by Ponder on third-and-three gave the Seminoles a first down from the Miami 12, and an 8-yard pass brought them down to the Miami 4. After Ponder was stopped in the backfield for a 1-yard loss on second down and Miami was called for pass interference on third down, Florida State was set up with first-and-goal at the Miami 2 with 14 seconds remaining. The Miami defense, however, made a dramatic goal line stand and forced two successive incompletions, both intended for Jarmon Fortson. With 5 seconds remaining, Florida State had time for one final play. Ponder took the snap from the shotgun, rolled right, and, under pressure, fired a low pass to Fortson, who was unable to corral the ball before it short-hopped off the end zone turf as time expired. In recognition of their strong performances, Harris was named ACC Offensive Back of the Week and Brandon Harris was selected as ACC Defensive Back of the Week.

This time, the Hurricane defense stifled Georgia Tech's vaunted triple option attack, holding the Jackets to 95 yards rushing on 39 attempts (2.4 ypc) and yielding only 228 total yards. Miami running backs Graig Cooper and Javarris James rushed for 93 and 72 yards, respectively, in the winning effort, while preseason All-American and reigning ACC Player of the Year Jonathan Dwyer of Georgia Tech was limited to just 7 yards on 5 carries. After taking a 14-point halftime lead, Miami was able to blow the game open late in the third quarter when Harris' third touchdown pass of the night and a safety off a botched punt snap on Georgia Tech's ensuing possession put the 'Canes ahead 33-10. With his three-touchdown game, Harris was named ACC Offensive Back of the Week for the second time of the season.[15] [edit] Virginia Tech See also: 2009 Virginia Tech Hokies football team 1 2 3 4 Total #13 Miami 0 7 0 0 7 #12 Virginia Tech 14 7 3 7 31 Miami and Virginia Tech last played November 13, 2008 in Miami in a game won by Miami by a score of 16-14.
