Nov. 21, 2001

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (www.hurricanesports.com) – The Miami Hurricanes practiced for two hours in pads and shorts Wednesday afternoon at the Greentree Practice Fields as preparations for their upcoming clash with Washington continued. The No. 1-ranked Hurricanes (9-0 overall, 6-0 in the BIG EAST) host the 12th-ranked Huskies (8-2, 6-2 in the Pac Ten Conference) at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Orange Bowl before a sellout crowd and a national television audience (ABC Sports).

“It was a beautiful day to be outdoors and we had good practice,” said head coach Larry Coker. “We’ve had a good week so far and we’re showing good focus for this game. We need to keep it up through the holiday tomorrow and into the weekend.”

The Hurricanes continue preparations for Saturday’s clash with a morning practice on Thursday that is closed to the public and the media. Miami will wrap up game week practices Friday afternoon with another closed practice.
