Miami football is looking forward, not backward, and there’s good reason for that. The Hurricanes sputtered in Year 1 of the rebuild being engineered by coach Mario Cristobal.
“Whenever you start up at a program again and it has a rebuilding aspect, you have to sometimes go through a season like that and not make any excuse or sugar-coat it, but you go directly at the things that need to be addressed, and it starts with people,” Cristobal said. “People in the locker room, people on the coaching staff, people in a support staff role. … In other words, the steps that you cannot skip, those things have been in full force since the end of last season.
Van Dyke’s shoulder is tip-top again, which is a far cry from how it was down the stretch last season. He would get shots to numb his throwing shoulder as close to game time as possible after being hurt, temporarily hiding the pain, as if that was going to make him forget that he was playing injured.
And the shots worked. For about an hour, anyway. Problem is, college football games last for three or four hours. It was a painful part of a painful year. That right shoulder is healed now, and on it sits much of the hope for Miami in 2023. Van Dyke, who considered leaving either through the transfer portal or the NFL draft, is back for one more run with the Hurricanes.The starting offensive line tasked with protecting Van Dyke might be an entirely new unit. UCF transfer center Matt Lee already is a clear leader, and freshmen Francis Mauigoa and Samson Okunlola are also highly touted.
