Shane,
Thank you and all the others for sending in the news everyday. It is
quite a treat to follow the Gators this way. I look forward to reading all
the news each evening and I think about all the hard word that is involved.Go Gators, Fran J.

With a little more help from his wide receivers, sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris could lead a dangerous air assault. Weakness: UM might have eight returning starters on defense, but in its six loses last season, defensive lapses were often to blame. The 'Canes have a good mix of talent and experience. The problem is too few players who have both. Biggest star: Miami hasn't had its usual caliber of college football superstar lately. So the choice here is steady junior tailback Graig Cooper, who at 6-feet tall and 200 pounds is capable of being the offensive workhorse. Rising star: Harris is the man, now that Robert Marve has transferred to Purdue. Harris beat out Marve for the job, anyway, completing 60.8 percent of his passes for 1,195 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Toughest game: The 'Canes play host to Oklahoma on Oct. 3. It's possible the Sooners won't be all that thrilled to return to Dolphin Stadium, site of last January's BCS Title game loss to Florida. Oklahoma poses a much more difficult challenge to Miami than any of UM's ACC opponents. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
