After experiencing two heartbreaking defeats in recent weeks, the tenth ranked Miami Hurricanes find themselves in familiar territory, which is collapsing down-the-stretch. The Hurricanes were the favorite to win the contest against unranked SMU but failed miserably in striving to secure a sure win. Throughout the entire matchup, the Canes allowed the home team, SMU Mustangs to hang around the entire game.
It seems as though the Miami Hurricanes had another Deja Vu experienced by losing in a game that the team was more than capable of winning. The timing of this recent loss might once again have the Canes "on the outside, looking in," regarding the program's chance of playing in both the ACC Championship game and College Football Playoff.
