Why No. 29: The school already had a top quarterback with the return of Brad Kaaya. Now it has one of the top coaches in former Georgia leader Mark Richt. When the Bulldogs foolishly dumped their longtime coach, Miami jumped at the chance to hire him. Richt inherited a talented team beyond the quarterback. Ten starters are back on offense, which could mean a special season in the ACC for the one-time power.
