IIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT’SSSSSSSSS MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! And you wonderful people know what that means. It’s time to talk about all things Miami Hurricanes . Less than one week now until we can say it’s a Miami Hurricanes game week.
So close. So, let’s grab those orange helmets, slip on those green cleats, put our hands in the dirt, and slam into those Miami Hurricanes-related pads of thoughts lined up throughout my mind. 1) The AP released their preseason All-American team on Monday, and one Cane saw his name on the list: K Andy Borregales, who made the second team.
I guess that shouldn’t be too surprising. Or not surprising at all. Miami has gotten a lot of love, but really, outside of guys like Xavier Restrepo, Cam Ward, Damien Martinez, and Rueben Bain, who else had a puncher’s chance of being on there after last year’s stinker of a season (yes, I know Ward and Martinez are transfers, but still)? I guess I could see Bain with his production last year and Ward with the hype that’s come to Coral Gables with him, but I don’t think anyone was slighted here.
Borregales was 22/26 on field goals last year and 44/45 on extra points, with a long field goal of 51 yards. How nice is it to have the kicking game covered once again? After the nonsense this program went through in the kicking game before Jose and Andy Borregales came to Coral Gables, it’s been a nice luxury to have, and Miami will surely need it this season. I will never take the kicking game for granted aga.
