Surviving as much as striving, Hurricanes prepare for second-half push
MIAMI GARDENS — On one hand, the Miami Hurricanes are 5-1 six games into an 11-game regular season with the one loss on the road against No. 1 Clemson.
On the other hand, the last two wins have felt more like survival against Virginia and Pittsburgh than the more-desirable outcome of a team re-establishing the dominance of its 3-0 start.
