New Miami Hurricanes Depth Chart for Bethune-Cookman game just released -- and there are changes

 

Coach Al Golden just released his newest depth chart for the Bethune-Cookman game.

If you didn't know by now, starting receiver Allen Hurns (concussion) and starting safety Vaughn Telemaque (knee) are out for the game.

Fifth-year senior Ramon Buchanan is done for the season, and possibly his career, with another bad knee injury on the right knee. Buchanan will undergo surgery this week, Golden said Sunday night. It is not known if he will apply for a sixth year of eligibility. Best wishes to Buchanan, who hopefully will persevere and overcome.

So, the listed first-team receivers are freshman Malcolm Lewis, and sophomores Phillip Dorsett and Rashawn Scott.

The new first-team safeties are freshman Deon Bush and redshirt junior A.J. HIghsmith. If Highsmith retains his status through game week, it will be his first start at safety. Highsmith has definitely paid his dues for this team, with an amazing attitude, and I'm happy for him.

 I hope young Deon and veteran A.J. both excel in their new roles. Also hope Telemaque comes back soon, along with Allen Hurns. You could tell Hurns, obviously talented, was a go-to receiver -- and he already had a head injury through most of fall camp.

Replacing Buchanan at weakside linebacker is NOT Jimmy Gaines, Golden said, although Gaines was listed there at first team on the distributed depth chart. Golden told us after practice this morning that the first-team weakside linebacker is Tyrone Cornileus.

However, UM is waiting to officially change it, since what sports information officials were handed had Gaines on it.

Of note: Defensive tackle Luther Robinson, who was reinstated to the team Sunday after being suspended for "conduct detrimental,'' is not on the depth chart.

Also, freshman Earl Moore is now the backup to defensive tackle Darius Smith, with Jalen Grimble dropping to third-team. And redshirt freshman Corey King is backing up Olsen Pierre at the other side of D-tackle.

And another thing: 4 get this Freshman/Soph stuff: Anybody who has played the game knows that any team can beat another if U prepare.

I don't by that for one minute. An excuse is what it is: When U take the field U have one goal in mind: Beat the opposing team and don't look back.

[FightingIbis]

Cool Cat,

So Freshmen and Sophomores are going to line up and beat KSU in their house? Typical focking moron...

Don't be upset at the coaches for your stupidity.

[Ted]

I recall at the start of the year Coach Golden stating that youth is no excuse........

[SunnyDee]

FightingIbis - Very few people thought the Canes would beat KSU. Nobody would be upset at a typical loss. It is the way they lost that was disturbing. The defense did not change at all from the previous week when it got shredded. There was a complete lack of creativity in the playcalling on defense. The fact is that both Maine and Missouri State's defenses outperformed Miami. That is flat out embarrassing even if the defense was comprised of mostly freshman and sophomores. The DC is not taking advantage of the defense's strength, which is speed. No adjustments were made in the KSU game at all. They continued with the same schemes when everyone could see they weren't working. If you are going to give up touchdowns on every drive you might as well take some risks.

I personally did not have a problem with the offensive playcalling. I thought the turnovers and dropped passes were more to blame. Plus the fact that they got in a huge hole early which took out Miami's running game. In addition, the offense performed well the previous week and played well at times last year.

The defense looks exactly the same as last year and just as bad, which leads me to believe that D'Onofrio is not very good.

['Cool 'Cat]

Well stated, Ted: FightingIbis should go back to what she's good at: Nothing.

[bill connors]

this team is amazingly young. if these guys stick together miami football should be back in couple years

[UGoCane]

Cool Cat when you are outweighed by 40-50 pounds and are starting your second game against guys that are seniors and have 3-4-5 years experience ..give me a break I don't care how you prepare.

Think how ludicrous your post is when shown the face of reality.

The 'U' guys were looking down when they were tossed around, they weren't "looking back when they took the field" as you said..
It is not preparation it is EXPERIENCE and 3-4-5 years...Open your eyes to reality.
Go 'Canes Always

[Ugghhh]

Big void left by guys who left early for the draft. If we have anyone to thank for this situation, it is them.

[Ba]

Bottom line: the defense gave up 1,000+ yards of offense in 2 games, close to 90 points in 2 games and very high QB ratings for opposing QBs in 2 games. The DC is responsible.

[chris]

way off the topic here, has anybody noticed how wimpy and ugly are uni's are. those light orange pants and the white sox, with those cursed orange and white cleats. we look like the old tampa bay bucks.if were going to suck, cant we atleast look good while were sucking.

[Hurricanes Storm]

I have never seen so many "Couch Coaches" that at this site. Give it a break. If you knew what you were taling about you would be an NCAA Division I Head Coach. Sorry boys, you do nmot know squat. Let the man coach.

[St Pete Cane]

I agree and disagree with a lot of posts. It's not that our defense is weak, Its embarrasing. eve a 35-17 loss to KCU would have been semi respectable- but this slaughter????. Coker taught them to accept losing. Shannon taught them to lose Golden not doing much better. I looked at the polls before the season started- I though they were nuts- with a lot of small schools and weak schools at least receiving votes- I guess theos in the know knew more than those of us on the board
1 Same defensive errors game after game.
2 Th OL isn't setting anything on fire either. I think they lost yardage on running plays about 4-5 time in the first half- I couldn't stomach much after that. Coaches get paid a lot- some of that salary goes to have them take the heat. The way we are going look for Ga Tech to score 48 points
just opinion

[dbc]

Fighting IBIS.

Point well taken on Year 1 versus Year 2. What I meant is that this is Golden's second year. Yes, player losses have hurt and we've got a lot of young guys. I hope they continue to make an impact and propel us to a winning record THIS YEAR.

By the way, some creative soul is using the handle, dbc. Don't know who or why. I am not calling for the dumping of coaches. Their task is tough.

I am calling for the reevaluation of coaches if things don't get better. Yes, K-State is a superior team, but are we 39 points worse?

As noted, Wisconsin just dumped one of their offensive coaches after 2 games. And they were beat by the Beavers, 10 - 7.

GO Canes!

[Slap Johnson]

There should be at least 5,000 people in attendance for this monster game!!!!
