Dana Holgorsen: Dapper news conference
December 16, 2016 by Mike Casazza
Not much in the line of coming and goings. Grades are due Monday, so Dana Holgorsen will know more soon. Time off after eight straight Saturdays helped, and Tony Gibson said Kyzir White will play. On the other side, Miami has a very good defensive line but will be without one player. A talented secondary will welcome back one of its better performers.
There’s a three-point spread in favor of the Hurricanes — Dana sounded like he’s convinced! — but I could see it dropping before kickoff. There’s been a lot of weird late action on WVU games this season … but then again, the Mountaineers have never seen an opponent quite like Miami!!!
On Miami’s defensive unit compared to past opponents this year
I would say take the best player from every defense we’ve played and put him out there at every position. That’s the nature of this time of year when you’re playing in a bowl game, that’s why good teams go to bowl games. They got really good personnel across the board, you look for a weak spot but you can’t find one. They’re all big, they’re all fast, they are the kind of defense you’d expect to see from Miami.
