The Miami Hurricanes are off to their best start since 2005 after knocking off the Central Florida Knights 27-7 Saturday night.
Furthermore, Georgia Tech beat fourth-ranked Virginia Tech, setting the stage for a possible three-way tie in the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference
And Purdue upset seventh-ranked Ohio State, ensuring that the ninth-ranked Canes will be sure to move up two spots in the national polls.
On Saturday night, in front of a record-crowd of 48,453 fans at Bright House Network Stadium in Orlando, the Canes held the Knights’Brynn Harvey to only 25 yards rushing on 12 attempts.
Last week against Memphis, Harvey racked up 219 yards.
However, it was far from perfect with Jacory Harris getting sacked six times as he completed 20 of 26 passes for 293 yards.
Javarris James scored a touchdown and rushed for 65 yards on 17 attempts as he surpassed the 2,000 yard career mark
He's seventh all-time at Miami but still No. 2 in the family; cousin Edgerrin James rushed for 2,960, topped only by Ottis Anderson's 3,331.
