Canes barely escape in 17-12 win over Central Michigan

Just four weeks into the season, college football has shown that nothing is guaranteed, and the Miami Hurricanes learned this lesson first hand Saturday when they narrowly defeated the Central Michigan Chippewas 17-12.

“Tonight was our second win and probably our fourth best performance of the four we’ve had so far,” head coach Manny Diaz said. “With all that being said, the only thing that we could accomplish today was beating Central Michigan, which, after the course of 60 minutes, when everything was added up, that’s what we got done.”

The Hurricanes offense, which was that was the star of last week’s win against Bethune-Cookman, was nowhere to be seen against Central Michigan.
