How the Hurricanes blocked three FGs at Clemson — and UM’s punt return adventures

The Miami Hurricanes tied a Football Bowl Subdivision record when they blocked three field goals at Clemson in Saturday night’s loss.

“We thought there was the opportunity to block some field goals,” special teams coordinator Jonathan Patke said on Tuesday. “Really, what we talk about on special teams and on defense is effort, attitude, toughness every play, and our heartbeat of a special teams unit is really our field goal block team.”
