Miami 2021 Season Preview
The Hurricanes went 8-2 in the regular season last year, earning a berth to the Cheez-It Bowl.
They then fell 37-34 to the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the finale, losing quarterback D’Eriq King in the process; then a fifth-year senior, King tore his right ACL late in the second quarter.
Just over eight months later, he’s ready to open the year under center for the Hurricanes in his sixth and final season of eligibility.
“When I tore it that night, I knew I was going to play the first game; there was no doubt in my mind I was going to come back,” King said, according to ESPN.
King’s impressed teammates and coaches with his drive to return to the field for Miami’s opener since that painful December night. On top of his rehab, he lifted with teammates and worked on drills with Hurricanes receivers.
“His actions always match his words,” offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said, per ESPN. “A lot of people can say that they’re coming back in an emotional moment and then work really hard for a month and then when it gets hard or monotonous or you have a few bad days or you’re not out there for spring ball, you lose maybe your fire. He never did. That doesn’t mean he didn’t have those days where he felt that way. But it’s been really cool to see him overcome a lot of adversity. And so far, he’s thriving in it.”
Not only did King make it back in time for Saturday’s tilt with the Alabama Crimson Tide, he impressed head coach Manny Diaz in the Hurricanes’ first fall scrimmage back on Aug. 15.
“The guys played hard,” Diaz said after the scrimmage, according to the Miami Herald. “But the story is, great to see D’Eriq King. I thought he was phenomenal running the offense.”
The Hurricanes scored 34 points per game last year, the 26th-best mark in the nation; they surrendered 27 a game, ranking 51st.
“We’ve hit ’em all in camp that greatness comes from being consistently good,” Diaz said after the first fall scrimmage, per the Miami Herald. “You’re always going to have that tug of war during camp where one day the defense edges it and the next day the offense edges it. When we’re both executing and playing at that high level, I think that’s what this week is going to be about.
“Let’s take that next step and not be satisfied with being good. We think greatness is available.”
