Hurricane Al leads Miami to Chick-fil-A Bowl Challenge Win


Greensboro, Ga. (April 30, 2013) – The Miami Hurricanes team of Al Golden and Gino Torretta held off a back-nine charge from South Carolina to win the 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl Challenge by one stroke.

Miami’s 11-under-par round was one better than the Steve Spurrier and Sterling Sharpe duo and just good enough to earn the victory in the 14-team field and take home the first-place scholarship prize of $125,000.

Team Miami finished the front nine with five straight birdies to make the turn at -8, one shot ahead of two-time-defending champion Georgia Tech and two shots clear of South Carolina.

The Hurricanes and Yellow Jackets played stroke-for-stroke on the back nine until Miami pulled ahead with birdies on 16 and 17. The Gamecocks went birdie-eagle-birdie over the final three holes to make a run at Miami, but fell just short when Al Golden holed a five-foot putt for par on 18.

“South Carolina and Georgia Tech are really good teams. We had a lot of fun down the stretch and Gino hit some big putts to keep us in it,” Miami head coach Al Golden said. “We scrambled and got lucky down the stretch.”

“Hitting that 30-footer for par on 15 and another big putt on 17 were huge. We didn’t know they were so close on our heels until we finished 17,” Gino Torretta said. “We just tried to stay within ourselves and we kept the ball in play. It just seemed to work today.”

Any truth to this rumor of the B12 not being able to hold a conf championship game at 10 members? Just saw it online.

i think this year or next they where going to ask the NCAA for a waiver so they can have one tho
 
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we scored 0 points against Bama. DJ Coles (if healthy) is probably the only player on offense that I feel comfortable putting on the field for the first game. Even if LT was any good, he'd have nobody to throw to, nobody to block for him, and no running game to take the pressure off. At the spring game our #1 WRs couldnt get open against our 2nd team secondary. And our OL couldnt pass or run block against the 2nd team fronts. We're likely starting a Freshman at tackle. :x Saban has to be licking his chops.
 
The rumor was that they were denied the waiver, and that they'd be look to at least add 2 more teams to get to 12. 
 
Almost as bad as:


PHOTO: UNC receives ACC Coastal Division Championship rings

Larry Fedora finished his first season at North Carolina with a 5-3 record in ACC play, good enough to tie for first place in the ACC Coastal Division standings with Georgia Tech and Miami. But the Tar Heels and Hurricanes were ineligible to compete in the postseason because of NCAA-related sanctions. The Yellow Jackets earned the Coastal Division bid to play in the ACC Championship Game against Florida State.

On Tuesday, North Carolina released photos of the ACC Coastal Division Championship rings made for the 2012 team. The photos were met with backlash from fans upset because the Tar Heels were not eligible to play in the title game as the Coastal Division champion.

Why so angry?

Schools choose to hang banners, throw parades and give rings for all kinds of success, and there is no reason why North Carolina should feel like it can't do the same after finishing in a tie for first place in the ACC Coastal Division.

Clemson has a trophy for the 2012 ACC Atlantic Division title, yet they were not in the ACC Championship Game because of losing a tiebreaker with Florida State. Three teams shared the Big East Championship each season from 2010-12, and every one of those schools awarded rings and celebrates the title.

Rings are for the players -- not the fans -- and with all the sacrifice players make for their schools I say let them shine.
