MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Injured and unable to play when Miami faced Florida Atlantic a year ago, Hurricanes wide receiver Braxton Berrios remembers leaving the stadium at halftime.Thats about when his teammates showed up.If the 25th-ranked Hurricanes (1-0) need a cautionary tale right now, they may look no further than last years meeting when the Owls dominated long stretches of the first half before Miami took control over the final 30 minutes. The Hurricanes -- an AP Top 25 team for the first time since 2013 -- will be looking for a much more complete effort when they play host to Florida Atlantic (1-0) on Saturday night.These guys present a challenge, Hurricanes coach Mark Richt said.They certainly did last year.FAU outgained Miami 292-231 in the first half of last seasons meeting, trailing only 20-17 at the break. The second half was all Miami, with the Hurricanes outscoring the Owls 24-3 and outgaining them 295-97. Running back Joe Yearby had 243 yards of total offense for Miami, and Brad Kaaya threw for 287 yards.We played terrible, Berrios said. We came out flat. ... Whatever it was last year, that was last year. Were going into there with the right mindset this year.Many of the names FAU will face this year are the same, but the tape of last seasons matchup is irrelevant to Owls coach Charlie Partridge. Miami does plenty of things differently now under Richt and a new staff, so studying the 2015 game too much would be wasted time.And Partridge doesnt want his team to treat this game any differently than any other.Are we excited to play Miami? Of course we are, Partridge said. Its a great opportunity. Were going to have the same excitement level Week 3, Week 4, Week 5. Were focused on Miami because Miamis the mission.---Some things to know going into Saturday night:HURTING MIAMI: The Hurricanes defense is already ailing. CB Adrian Colbert and DT Courtel Jenkins are out this week with knee injuries, though the hope is that Colbert (who had a pick in his Miami debut last week) will be back in time for Georgia Tech on Oct. 1. Also, LB Jamie Gordinier (knee) is out for the season, Miami lost its three leading tacklers from 2015 to rules violations in the offseason, and suspended WR Sam Bruce is now out indefinitely because of a non-football-related injury.KAAYA WATCH: Miami quarterback Brad Kaayas four-touchdown, no-interception outing last week was the first such performance by a Hurricanes quarterback since Kyle Wright threw five TDs with no picks against Wake Forest on Nov. 12, 2005. Kaaya has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 24 of his 26 college games. He was intercepted nine times in 176 attempts (one every 19.6 passes) in his first six college games, and has thrown eight picks in 609 passes since (one every 76.1 passes).PUNTING MATCHUP: FAU punter Dalton Schomp is a field-changer. Schomp led the nation with a 48-yard-per-punt average last season and has at least one 50-yarder in 18 of his 25 career games. Schomps career average is 46 yards per kick; Miamis Justin Vogel is another elite punter, checking in at 43 yards per kick in his time with the Hurricanes. Schomp and Vogel both had 70-plus-yarders in 2015.VERSUS IN-STATE: Miami is 30-2 in non-conference games against in-state schools since 2000. The breakdown: 6-0 against Florida A&M, 5-0 against Florida State (before the teams became ACC rivals, with the Seminoles leading those matchups 9-3), 5-1 against Florida, 5-1 against South Florida, 3-0 against Bethune-Cookman and 2-0 against Central Florida, Bethune-Cookman and FAU.LOCAL BOYS MAKE GOOD: Richt spent part of his younger years in Boca Raton, living not far from what was then a much-smaller FAU campus and graduated from Boca Raton High. Partridge is also a South Florida native, growing up in Plantation -- in between Boca Raton and Miami.---Online: AP College Football website www.collegefootball.ap.org Air Jordan 1 Wholesale Free Shipping .

TAMPA, Fla. -- Theres unfinished business on Lavonte Davids agenda.The budding young Tampa Bay star has spent the past four years establishing himself as one of the top outside linebackers in the NFL, but what he hasnt been able to do is help the Buccaneers end a long postseason drought.The Bucs have a 19-45 record since David joined the team as a second-round draft pick in 2012, extending a streak of consecutive seasons without a playoff berth to eight.The 26-year-old, whos built a reputation as a sure-tackler with a penchant for causing turnovers, feels good about the chances of changing that pattern this season.He and Gerald McCoy not only like the new system being installed by Mike Smith, the clubs third defensive coordinator in Davids five seasons, but are confident the Bucs have the personnel to make it work.Every year Ive been here we were always one piece away, one situation away to where we could turn a losing season to a winning season, David, a 2013 All-Pro selection who appeared in the Pro Bowl for the first time last season.Were tired of losing, David, who signed a five-year, $50.25 million contract in 2015, said, adding he and McCoy both are driven to enjoy more team success.Ive never seen somebody so angry (after a loss), and it shows the type of leader he is, David said.He puts everything on himself, puts everything on his shoulders. Me and him feel like we have to put it in our hands and change everything because we are kind of like the older guys on defense. Our main thing is just get everybody on board, and I feel like were doing that.Tampa Bay was 10th in total defense last season, with McCoy leading the team with 8 1/2 sacks and David finishing with a team-high 147 tackles, three sacks, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.But despite ranking among the leaders in fewest yards allowed per game, the Bucs were 26th in points allowed and missed thhe playoffs with a 6-10 record that cost former coach Lovie Smith his job.ddddddddddddDirk Koetter, promoted from offensive coordinator, is the fourth coach the franchise has had since last appearing in the playoffs under Jon Gruden in 2007.David said the transition, with Koetter guiding the offense and former Atlanta coach Mike Smith taking over the defense, has been fairly smooth.Everybody is different, their own personality, the way they coach, and how they do different things and how they see things, David said.But the great thing about it is these coaches, they really like to interact with you, asking you what you see out there -- like whats wrong, what you dont like, what you do like, things like that -- and try to make you comfortable the best way they can, he added. Guys really appreciate and like that.With middle linebacker Kwon Alexander coming off a strong rookie season and veteran Daryl Smith joining the team in free agency, the Bucs feel much better about their linebackers as a group than entering training camp a year ago.David said players are more confident, too.Not just the old guys, but the younger guys, he said. Theyre getting real comfortable.But no ones more upbeat or optimistic than David.I think its just getting accustomed with everything all around, the linebacker said.As I go into my fifth year, Im getting comfortable with being in the NFL, taking over the role of being a leader, knowing how the guys look at me as a leader and stuff like that, David added.So I have to carry myself in a certain way. I noticed that if Im down, certain guys might be down. If Im up, everybodys up. I look at things like that, just try to stay positive as much as I can and keep my energy level high.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
