Hyde: Miami beats up on Pitt — now what does it mean? | Commentary
With uncertainty over the post-game Zoom connection, Miami Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz tested his end with a David Bowie lyric late Saturday afternoon:
This was the issue all week for Diaz. Did his players hear him? Did his message get through? Could they understand what he wanted to correct from the previous week’s disappointment at Clemson?
Maybe Saturday’s 31-19 win over the gritty Pittsburgh Panthers was important for this season. Maybe not. Maybe this was the kind of game that gets Miami back on track after playing out of their weight class last week at Clemson.
Maybe it’s just another head fake, the way Miami seasons seem to have with wins that can’t be sustained.
