Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesSaturday will mark one year since the Hurricanes closed out the 2019 season, with an embarrassing 14-0 loss to Louisiana Tech in the Independence Bowl, capping off a dreadful 6-7 year. First year head coach Manny Diaz seemingly had lost the program he had just taken over, and the future of the program was not bright, to say the least.
Fast forward to December 2020, and that same Canes team just wrapped up an 8-2 regular season, and has a good shot at claiming only their second bowl victory since 2006.
"We improved as a program...we're certainly not where we want to be, but we're not where we were...I think the players deserve a lot of credit for that."
