Hurricanes quarterbacks prepare for Boston College on Monday without young receiver

The Miami Hurricanes are usually off on Mondays.

But today, the Canes (5-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) practiced on Greentree Field because their next game is at 7 p.m. Friday at Boston College (5-2, 2-1) in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

Not at media viewing during practice Monday: freshman wide receiver Brian Hightower, who didn’t travel to the game on Oct. 13 at Virginia.

Hightower has a foot/ankle injury, and was seen in a boot before the Virginia game. Hightower has played in six games and has four catches for 60 yards. He scored his lone touchdown in the opener against LSU.
