CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) – Getting three starters back from one-game suspensions proved to be a major help for Miami’s defense.
Not only did the Hurricanes beat Ohio State 24-6 Saturday night, they knocked the Buckeyes out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2004 after giving up just 209 yards.
Ohio State generated 35 yards passing – the worst single-game total for a BCS school so far this season – on 18 attempts. The last time a BCS team threw the ball at least 18 times and failed to exceed 35 passing yards was Sept. 19, 2009, when Boston College was 5-of-21 for 25 yards against Clemson.
Miami gave up 499 yards against Maryland in a season-opening loss. The Ohio State tape will be more pleasant for the Hurricanes to watch.
