Miami 14, Houston 13

Miami outlasted Houston 14-13 today. Still trying to process this one. Wow. Glad we won, but why does it still feel like we lost?

Definitely some bright spots, most notably Javarris James. JJ lived up to the hype... though I'd liked to see him get a few breathers in the first half. Mix in some other backs and let's see James with some fresh legs running on a tired defense late in the game. Instead it was Derron Thomas who got the 4th quarter carries. He looked good, but that should been James' time.

The defense made key plays and pretty much saved Miami with the late fumble recovery has Houston was driving and looking to go ahead as much as 20-7. The Canes stepped up, made some plays, SCORED IN THE SECOND HALF and pulled out the 14-13 win.

Who ever thought Kyle Wright's first game-winning drive would've been against Houston? Doesn't pack the same punch if he'd have done it his last two shots against Florida State or last year against Georgia Tech. Still, it had to start somewhere.

I'll have to rewatch the game to take it in. The whole thing is still a blur right now.
