Miami had an awful loss to Virginia this weekend in Charlottesville. Miami was not playing well at all, and to add to their bad day, Jacory Harris was hit HARD and knocked out. I hate to see a college player get hit like Harris did, but wow this was huge. The diagnosis is a concussion, and it looks as if Harris may miss a game or two after being planted in to the ground on the back of his head. On top of the injury, the hit was totally clean and undoubtedly gave Virginia some momentum to destroy Harris's back up quarterback, who gave up 4 interceptions. Jacory Harris needs to learn how to take a hit and scramble when possible. He has taken big hits before and received a concussion at Clemson in the past, and this shows that he is not smart about taking hits, especially when he is so tall and thin. He is not built like a typical quarterback; he is more of an undersized wide receiver. Unfortunately, Jacory's bad season just got worse. He managed to throw one of his usual interceptions in every game, and took a nasty hit on top of that. Hopefully he will recover soon, but you have to wonder if he will need to be replaced on a more permanent basis in the near future.
