Miami Hurricanes High Octane Offense Starting To Gel With Saturday’s Practice
After the first practice, University of Miami quarterback Cameron Ward said the defense won round one. On Saturday, the tables turned.
The offense, led by Xavier Restrepo, outpaced the defense and made many big plays. They were fighting for 50-50 balls. Ward was sharp and so were his receivers.
“It’s exactly how I expected. We’re a super explosive offense.” Restrepo said after practice. “We’re going back and forth. We have short term memory. If we were whipping this defense everyday there would be a problem. We have a big year ahead of us.”
Restrepo liked the enthusiasm and the effort that the players brought to practice, on both sides of the ball.
“Everyone is just running around the field. Guys are giving us really good looks,” Restrepo said. “They give me great work every day. We get another day of work. That’s what I call it, it’s work. We don’t have to come here, but we want to come here. That’s everyone’s mindset.”
Tight end Cam McCormick agreed with Restrepo. He has seen a lot in his many years of college football. He said this is the pinnacle.
“The offense is all fired up,” McCormick said. “We know how special we are. We are putting it all together now.”
McCormick said the trust factor with Ward is what makes this team special.
“His ability to bring the guys together. When he says something, everyone listens,” McCormick said. “He’s a leader. He does a great job of just bringing guys together. It’s all based on our trust for him.”
Restrepo praised transfer Sam Brown and JoJo Trader for working hard and competing hard in practice.
“Sam, just like the other guys, they are all unique and bring something to the game,” Restrepo said. “They come to work and give it their all. I can’t wait to see them play this season.”
Restrepo said he wants the team to look at him as the thermostat. As hot as he goes, he wants his teammates to keep up.
“I came out a little excited today,” Restrepo said. “I wanted to be the thermometer and have everyone match me. I make sure I lead by example, set the tone and be that thermostat.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
