A year ago, when Coach Mark Richt moved to Miami to lead the Hurricanes, he and his crew had much ground to cover: from getting to know the players, to building relationships with topnotch recruitment prospects, and of course, giving the college team its first bowl in a long time. It had been a rough journey for the new coaching team. If the team's performance up until October had been any indication of what the future held, any feelings of renewed faith in the Hurricanes would have been extinguished.

But it ain't over till it's over. Toward the end of the season, Coach Richt cleared any doubts about the revamped program. The Hurricanes finished the season strong with a 9-4 record, closing the year with five straight wins. It was the team's victory over West Virginia at 31-14 that finally awarded the Hurricanes a bowl after 10 long years. The promising outlook for the new program has landed the team one of the best recruiting positions leading to National Signing Day: Miami has already received 20 verbal pledges and had admitted ten early enrollees for 2017.
