On To Football Season We Go

After UM Baseball's disaster in Ganesville I thought the summer doldrums would commence with the image of error after error burned in my brain until football season. Fortunately for me the marketing department wanted to do their football shoot this week, and now I'm in full football mode.

So early this morning I made my way to Joe Robbie Stadium Pro Player Stadium Dolphin Stadium Landshark Stadium Sun Life Stadium to shoot Jacory Harris, Brandon Harris, Allen Bailey, Matt Bosher, Orlando Franklin, Colin McCarthy and Leonard Hankerson for the 2010 Hurricanes poster. We set up in the 'Canes locker room and did the group shot then had fun with some individual set ups.

While I'll wait for the poster release before I show the groups I'll give you a peek at the individuals, like Jacory's shot above, every so often in the coming days on the Caneshooter.com Facebook fan page.

Jacory Harris to have thumb surgery

Hurricanes sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris will have a routine surgical procedure performed on his right thumb today. Supposedly the surgery is very minor, and Harris is expected to miss a portion of spring practice.

Harris completed 242-of-406 passes for 3,352 yards and 24 touchdowns in 13 games for the Hurricanes this season. He became the seventh Miami quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards in a single season. He completed 59.6 percent of his passes and had a 140.1 passing efficiency.

Miami vs Duke revisited

Jacory Harris threw for four touchdowns and ran for another during Miami's 49-31 victory over Duke last season. Harris came of the bench in the 2nd quarter to rally the 'Canes from a 10 point deficit, completing 18 of 28 passes for 185 yards.

Ken Dorsey & Jacory Harris

Former Hurricanes quarterback Ken Dorsey consoles Jacory Harris after his worst performance as a 'Cane, throwing four interceptions during Miami's 33-24 loss to North Carolina Saturday.

Jacory Harris

Miami sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris and Duke senior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis share this week’s Atlantic Coast Conference Offensive Back of the Week award.

Harris earned this third Offensive Back of the Week award this season after he picked up his second career 300-yard passing game in a 28-27 comeback win at Wake Forest. He completed 22-of-43 attempts for 330 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner to Travis Benjamin with 1:08 left in the game that capped a nine-play and 82-yard drive. Harris surpassed the 2,000-yard passing mark to become the first Hurricane to throw for more than 2,000 yards in a season since Kyle Wright in 2005.

Jacory Harris

Hurricanes quarterback Jacory Harris, sporting a new haircut seen here, overcame two early interceptions to throw for 202 yards and three touchdowns against Oklahoma last week. What haircut might he reveal before tonight's game? We'll be watching.

Jacory Harris - Coming of Age

Hurricanes QB Jacory Harris walks off the field after throwing an interception for a touchdown during Miami's 38-34 victory over the Seminoles last week.

The mark of a winner is the ability to overcome adversity. After shaking off his numb right throwing arm, Jacory led the 'Canes back. Harris connected with Graig Cooper for a 24-yard score to tie the game at 31, and after Florida State took the lead again on Dustin Hopkins' 45-yard field goal with 4:11 left, Harris again responded. The 'Canes went 59 yards in six plays, highlighted by Harris' 40-yard pass to Travis Benjamin, and Cooper ran it in from three yards out for the eventual game-winning score.
