Is there anybody left to play?



Miami has suspended its fifth player for Saturday’s Emerald Bowl against California. Long snapper Chris Ivory was left out after he violated an unspecified team rule. I hate that they leave it so vague. I want to know what incredibly stupid thing this kid did to miss his second game of the season. (He was also suspended for the season opener.) He’ll be joining tight ends Richard Gordon and Tervaris Johnson, linebacker Jordan Futch and QB Robert Marve in the commons room watching the game on TV.

The loss of players has sent the team scrambling. Jake Byrne, who already handles the snap for field goals, will take over for Ivory on long snaps and has become the back up QB behind Jacory Harris who is taking over for Marve. At this point, I think the team may start holding tryouts for walk-ons to fill the holes.
