September was an incredible month for Miami fans. The Canes didn’t just win all three games. They completely dominated nearly every minute they played. Miami’s defense looks dramatically improved, Mark Walton has become a star, and the Canes made a statement on the road in Boone. Miami’s three freshmen linebackers have exceeded expectations. Mark Richt and Manny Diaz both have approval ratings near 100. The Canes are near the top nationally in dozens of statistical categories. Given FSU’s loss to Louisville and Notre Dame’s 1-3 start, Miami has a chance to be favored in every game.
As excited as I was about September, everyone knows the real season begins in October.
