I will never play with hurricanes if Mario Cristobal is coach Talented star join revals over hurricanes
Jacolby George had just finished his career receiving day at Florida State, but his eyes were downcast and his body language forlorn. Who could blame him? After an exceptional performance of 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns on five catches, the Hurricanes couldn’t capitalize on their final drive that began with 4:26 left, and they lost 27-20 at Doak Campbell Stadium. “I feel bad,’’ George said softly. “We wanted a different outcome. We fought. We fought hard.’’ When Miami (6-4, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) hosts ninth-ranked Louisville (9-1, 6-1) at noon Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium, George will be a vital target of Hurricanes starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke. Coach Mario Cristobal announced Monday that Van Dyke would start against Louisville after true freshman Emory Williams, who replaced Van Dyke last game, broke his left arm at FSU and is out for the remaining three games. George, a 6-0, 176-pound junior out of Plantation High, is doing his best to revive a UM passing game that, after an encouraging first part of the season, has lost its way. In 10 consecutive starts this season, George leads Miami with 707 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 46 catches. He is 31st nationally with his seven touchdown catches and earned ACC Receiver of the Week on Monday for the second time. Of his 153 yards Saturday, 131 were after catch. His Pro Football Focus grade of 75 topped all Miami offensive players Saturday.
