Maryland was a 62-14 winner in its last match at home against Wake Forest. They covered the 5 1/2-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 76 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
Injury issues could be a factor for Miami in today's game. Quarterback Jacory Harris will not play according coach Randy Shannon, nor will running back Damien Berry. Miami's injury report also confirms that offensive lineman Joel Figueroa will be out for the remainder of the season.
Despite the loss in Virginia, the Hurricanes racked up a solid 448 yards offensively against the Cavaliers, tallying 269 through the air and 179 on the ground. Freshman quarterback Stephen Morris made his first career appearance as a Hurricane, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another in just one half of football. Morris finished the game 9-for-22 with two touchdowns and two interceptions through the air and 23 yards rushing and one touchdown on the ground.
Reno Gold's pick: The numbers tell me one thing, take Maryland and the points while my gut tells me another – that's to take Miami giving the 8-chalk. What has me intrigued is how Miami stormed back against Virginia last week after being down three touchdowns. I have a feeling Maryland will be walking into a Hurricane early Saturday afternoon. I'm picking Miami to win and cover -8.
