Miami Hurricanes open season in dominating fashion against Florida A&M

The Miami Hurricanes snacked on some Rattlers in their season opener, filling up fast and furiously en route to a 45-0 victory Thursday night over Florida A&M at Sun Life Stadium. They now await the main course -- the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes nine days away in Columbus, Ohio. "Great victory for us to start the season," UM coach Randy Shannon said, thrilled with the crowd of 53,674. "Enjoy the night."

The Canes promised not to overlook FAMU in anticipation of their first meeting with the Buckeyes since losing a controversial national title game in the Fiesta Bowl that ended the 2002 season. Judging by their performance, they kept their promise.

Using speed, strength, an early no-huddle offense led by a new-and-improved Jacory Harris and the sure hands of gifted receiver Leonard Hankerson, No. 13 UM bullied Florida A&M up and down the field. By the end of the first half, the Canes led 35-0 against the Rattlers, a member of the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA).
