It was expected to be a close match-up between two undefeated ACC teams, and the fans were not disappointed. Miami dominated Duke in their conference opener. The Hurricanes held Duke to just six points, even though the Blue Devils have averaged 40 points per game prior to this conference contest.<\/p>\n
The first two drives from Miami, both ended with touchdowns and consisted of a five-play, 76-yard drive and a seven-play, 68-yard drive. Both of those drives gave Miami a cushion throughout the rest of the game because Duke never threatened them from a scoring standpoint. Malik Rosier<\/a><\/strong> started off blazing, completing his first nine passes. One of those passes went down the middle of the field to\u00a0Braxton Berrios<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for a 27-yard touchdown. That marked the fourth consecutive game in which Berrios has reached the end zone.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most welcomed addition into the Hurricane offense was the guy who broke Michael Irvin<\/strong><\/a>‘s freshman record last season, Ahmon Richards<\/strong>. Throughout training camp, he suffered from an injury that head coach Mark Richt<\/a><\/strong> described as a “severe pull” and thus limited him. Even after Hurricane Irma ravished south Florida, coaches weren’t sure where Richards was in terms of his recovery. Last week in the game against Toledo, he dressed out in full uniform but didn’t play any snaps.<\/p>\n Are you not entertained? pic.twitter.com\/vbDRWGlnjp<\/a><\/p>\n — Miami Hurricanes Football (@CanesFootball) September 30, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWelcome Back Ahmon Richards<\/h2>\n
