Miami hasn’t won a bowl game since 2006 in something called the MPC Computers and Bowl against Nevada. In Mark Richt’s first year this is a monkey he’d like to get off of the program’s back in year 1.
West Virginia is a formidable opponent to get this done against. Dana Holgorsen runs a balanced attack on offense that depends on running backs in a multitude of ways and an emphasis on slot receivers. Justin Crawford is their tote back with 1168 yards on the ground with 4 touchdowns. Shelton Gibson is their big play receiver with over 900 yards and 8 touchdowns on the season.
