Eye on the U: Are the Miami Hurricanes legit? We’ll find out as ACC play starts

The Miami Herald’s Eye on the U is back — and there’s no better time for a return considering the Miami Hurricanes’ strong start this season.

The Hurricanes are 4-0 entering Atlantic Coast Conference play. They are ranked No. 7 in the country. And Cam Ward is looking like one of the best quarterbacks in college football.

Is it legit? Or is it a mirage, too good to be true?

We’re about to find out as the Hurricanes begin ACC play against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

In the first episode of the revitalized Eye of the U show, new Miami Hurricanes beat writer Jordan McPherson (taking the reins from the now-retired Susan Miller Degnan) and host/deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez break down the Hurricanes’ strong start, what’s different about this team and Ward’s impressive start along with other early standouts. We also take a quick look at the state of the ACC as Miami begins conference play.
