UM QB Jacory Harris has cast on throwing arm

Two independent sources have confirmed to fellow Miami Herald reporter Susan Miller Degnan and myself tonight that quarterback Jacory Harris is wearing a soft cast on his right forearm. 

Harris told reporters after Saturday's 33-24 loss to North Carolina he hurt his finger following a big hit in the first quarter. Harris threw a career-high four interceptions in the loss. According to one source, Harris is still expected to play in Saturday's home finale against Duke and the injury is not considered "serious."

> Jacory said after UM's come-from-behind win at Wake Forest last month that he still felt pain in his throwing arm from the hit he took from Florida State's Greg Reid in the season-opener. Harris said whenever somebody touches his elbow he feels "sharp pain." Harris was hit at least twice on four of his interceptions Saturday and said he didn't put "enough zip" on several of his passes. He ranks second nationally among FBS quarterbacks this season with 16 interceptions. 

I'm sure we'll hear much more about this Tuesday from coach Randy Shannon. Jacory usually speaks to the media after Shannon talks with reporters at 11:30 a.m. We'll keep you posted.

Not good. If they think it's affecting his play (which hasn't been that stellar as of late) or if continuing to play might cause him more damage, he might ought to sit for a while and hand over the reins to AJ Highsmith. I still think the offense has been getting a little greedy lately. Let that big OL do it's job and let Damien Berry pound ahead.

Curse,

you are a loser, after tebow leaves florida, the gators will go back to being non existend in college football...get a life!

[Wayne Ritchie]

Too funny I can not even find the words to describe. LOL all you FLA & FSU fans on the U of M site. Please go away and get a life. Or just stay on your own blog. All you do is show your ignorance. Fla fans watch your back your not there yet.....FSU is it time to put the old man out to pasture....you can if you want but I'd not want to be the one to tell him. If FSU gets rid of him early he will come back to haunt you like we as Miami fans just felt the sting of NC. Becareful with what you want you just might get it but you may not always like the end result....Thanks

[DA []_ _[] is back!]

Tebow gets a cuncussion and Ponder blows his shoulder. Nothing. Now Jacory is in a SOFT cast and the world is over?

Relax he'll play and be fine. I saw him icing his hand at UNC and continued playing. He can't be worse that 4/2 come Saturday.

We'll be ok

[MiamiCanes]

The curse is pregnant with tebow's baby...

[emilio]

Na man, curse doesnt know who the father is. its a tossup between urban and tebow

[MiamiCanes]

From what I hear bible boy tebow likes sloppy seconds.... U go curse!

[RICK TRUTH SPEAKER]

OUT OF THE MAJOR FLORIDA COLLEGES THE FUTURE STANDS THE BRIGHTEST FOR THE MIAMI HURRICANES. NEXT YEAR TEBOW IS GONE AND PROBABLY FLORIDA TO. NEXT YEAR BOWDEN AND HIS COACHES ARE GONE AND A NEW TRANSITION, MEANS A DIFFERENT CONDITION. THE UM IS RIGHT WHERE THEY NEED TO BE BELIEVE ME MANY WOULD LOVE TO BE I N THAT PLACE AND FEEL IT IN THEIR HEARTS SECRETLY. PSALMS 100

[emilio]

u got a point rick,but what worries me is the experience on o-line. hopefully, the rookies can man up. it is possible for a fresh new o-line to come in and dominate d-lines across the nation.

MIAMICANES...u know what that means...tebow is no longer a virgin

[MiamiCanes]

I hear ya! curse is proud to have pop tebow' cherry..

[imyahuckleberri]

I love my Cane brothas. Thats all we got is us from 83 to now. UF fans gonna always be second class citizens. When S. Alexzander ran all over UF I wanted UF to win. I thought it was always pull for the florida teams. Even on NCAA 2010 Corso and Herby make a comment about Corso ranting on and on about their is a different breed of athlete in Florida. But they will be jealous hatas forever. At least their is a comradrie between the two teams.

[ooster]

sup berri.
gotta respect the other florida teams... just not their fans.

has harris gotten this checked out by a doctor or anything? it doesnt seem like an injury that should linger if its not serious.

[9-4 was timmy's record year 2]

They will feel, "wow, this is an awesome stadium", a pro stadium, and I can envision myself playing here ratherthan in that sump filled with toothless redneks with their white hoods in the back of their Ford F 150s. They can envision 30 years of championship tradition, NFLers, probowlers, and former NFLers now calling you family, rather than a bunch of short NFL timers who did nothing at the next level, except for one player. They can envisionliving in South Florida rather in that god for saken hick town

I would tell your little recruits "Enjoy the Swamp for the next couple of SATURDAYS, bc you prob won't be playing on SUNDAYS....Unless they run the spread option in the NFL... oh wait they don't."

[DC Cane]

Reagrdless of whether we win out or not, Randy must go... He reminds me of Zook, in that he brought in great talent, but didn't know what to do with it...

The last 3 years, this team has continually regressed week to week.

Message to Hocutt... Call TCU, Utah, and Cincinati and ask to speak with their coaches!!

By the way Curse, Norte Dame's on line one for Urban

[Cane75]

My question is this, if JH hurt his hand in the 1st quarter, why was Whipple sending in long pass plays into what we all saw would be multiple coverage scenarios. And kept sending in these plays for the remainder of the game. Where was Shannon on all of this. I just don't get these two.

[Canes 4 me]

The coaching staff is really pathetic right now.

If they knew that Jascary was hurt I would not let him attempt to make those long throws and instead would have kept everything withing 1015 yrds. That way you protect your QB and maybe the offense would have found a rythm.

Also has anyone else noticed that when go with the hurry up offense the kids seem to respond better and play harder.

Maybe they should try to adopt the hurry up all the time. I understand that the team might get a little tired but hey if it helps then what the heck.

[Canes 4 me]

Maybe J12 did not tell the coaches about the injury in fear of getting pulled.

You never know!!!

How do U think those recruits will feel when they visit this weekend knowing that 4 years from now, they will have only 25,000 fans in the stands in a 2/3rds. Empty Stadium on their Senior Day ?

I guess his hand only hurt on those 4 sorry passes he threw or maybe that attempt to stop the first interception return! Oh I forgot he decided to give a free pass into the endzone.

Dude where are these pedro's, paco's, and ricardo's comming from. I think the blog they want to attend is in another country who follow Futbol not football. I have never seen so many losers writing such poo poo with no facts. They sound like a bunch of little girls that have nothing better to do than call "U" blogers names. Enjoy your time on the blogs little ladies cause ur time is running out. Now back to the real topic. Now that the season is kind of set in stone where the "U" will play their bowl game, would it be out of the question to play Highsmith at QB more. The truth is that the "U" should win this game even with a back-up QB in there. With J. Harris hurting maybe this would not be such a bad idea. Play J. Harris a half then play Highsmith the rest of the game. Just pound, pound, pound the ball down Dukes throat. It worked for G-Tech. GOOOO! CANES!

[mark weaver]

We've done gave 2 games away and will manage to keep Duke around for awhile with a couple more int's and maybe will set the all time record for number of completions to different receivers in a game, since jacory can't find a go to receiver he likes. I can see why the guys we have playing offense play offense because they sure can't tackle nobody.

Wow look at all the angry EWWWWWWWW fans mad because their precious wanna bee Qb stinks just like his coach.

All calling us names because they r so afraid to face the reality that this team and the savoir of the 2008 recruting class are turning to be bust everywhere you turn.

It is ok calls names but we know better.

Like I said in the past drink the BLUE PILL and join us here in reality.

[Juan Pablo Escobar de Mierda, Pedro's uncle]

Wow.

Shaw goes to the Gators ans Linder to Notre Dame. I guess the recuits are starting to see thru the smoke and mirrors at the U.

I wonder how many will jump ship now.

Stay tuned...

[MiamiMike]

Charleston Southern, Troy, Florida International

The Gators lay these teams then Georgia which is not the same team and FSU at home which again far from FSU of old. FSU FANS this is not a negative statement about FSU. Miami respects FSU but as does the Seminoles we hate The Gators.

Gators will now be without Tebow and this will make Florida easier to game plan for. You will not have a Q.B. who can run like Tebow. This comes once in a lifetime. When is the last time Florida had a Q.B. who could run like that and score touchdowns?
FSU and Miami will both improve and the Gators will now go through change next year without Tebow. Florida had it's run but you will not be the same team next year. The Canes have 53 freshmen and sophomores on their team with new coaches on both sides of the ball and a Q.B. who really has only started this year. He is learning a new system on top of being inexperienced. He will have another off season to learn and to put on size and gain strength.
Next year Miami picks up Ohio State and Pitt which once again shows we play out of conference teams that are not padded. Miami picks up Nebraska the year after as well. This team will get recruits who want to play against big time programs and play on T.V. They also know that Miami puts its players in the NFL. We will be fine and we will see you next in Miami. Lets talk then.

[memphiscane]

thanks manny. u continue to erase my post. i havnt cursed. this gaytor can come on here and say whatever comes out of his pie whole. and u erase me. i cant help it if my post are full of facts

[ooster]

is it me or did we not even try to recruit these guys:

jonathan dowling
demar dorsey
matt elam
joshua shaw
jaylen watkins
jordan hayden
gerald christian

considering we need major secondary and TE help i dont understand why we settle and take,

keion payne
raheam buxton
jeremy davis
kacy rodgers
devonta davis
greg dent jr
clive walford

originally i thought we'd pull it out and finish strong and get guys like shaw, jefferson, jones, linder, dunkley, wright, kouandjio, etc.

NO. instead, after linder and barton("allegedly") we're getting 1 other reciever and thats that. and linder's probably waiting to see how the notre dame situation plays out first. wtf...

we havent had a strong recruiting class since '08 and in that class we kinda got lucky with the MNW team. i gotta wonder if shannon's as good a recruiter as previously thought. supposedly '11 is the class we're really going after. we'll see then i guess.

[mark weaver]

ooster,

Big names don't always bring big dividends.
What has Forston, Brown, done so far? Nada! This will be Shannon's third recruiting class and it's not as bad as it seems. Yes we do need TE's and D.B.'s but our biggest needs are on both lines. We need to get bigger and stronger, especially on the d-line. We have nobody that can cave the pocket in in the middle. These guys are to short. We need some 6'5 290 lb guys that it's hard for the QB to see over. We don't have that. We need to go after bigger name offensive linemen on offense instead of these tweeners. That has always been our problem on offense, or at least the last 5 years. I don't care who plays D.B., if you can't rush the passer the Db's are going to get toasted. Finally we need a stable coaching staff who has been together for at least 5 years instead of this revolving door with the Dee and O- coordinators.
