It was harder than it looked, but Miami Hurricanes getting job done

Don't be misled by the 34-16 size of Miami beating Duke. The Blue Devils had the Hurricanes in deep trouble with eight minutes left. Miami blew it all out only in the last part and finally, at 8-3, looks like the best batch of Canes in at least four seasons.

His angst came and went Sunday, but for a quarterback known for saying nothing, Donovan MacNabb's actions spoke a thousand words. The Eagles had just flubbed a third-and-one from the San Diego seven-yard line, this time on a well-covered rollout incompletion into the end zone, and their quarterback, who has seen this sort of thing so often over 11 years on the job, had enough.
