Riggs and Murtaugh. Vincent and Jules. Crockett and Tubbs. One of them loves to strut around the Coral Gables campus bare-chested. The other is stoic off the field, but leads the C-A-N-E-S chants during practice, fingers wagging.

Ereck Flowers is still getting rave reviews and is set to start this Saturday as a true freshman.

"Ereck has been in a [starter’s orange] jersey the whole camp and we’re not missing a beat," coach Al Golden said. "We’re not saying, ‘Hey, we can’t slide the protection this way,’ or ‘Let’s have the tight end or the running back chip over there to help him.’ We’re not doing that at all. Ereck has been doing a great job. He responded."

Heather Dinnich on Golden. Warning for those still inundated with saying Miami should never have stooped so low on the resume pole, Temple comparisons abound.

"There’s more that mirrors Temple than anybody on the outside could ever have imagined," Golden said. "Obviously the fact we’re in the middle of some adversity, I think that what we went through at Temple has prepared us for that. I hope when our student-athletes come to work every day, they see the same coaches and the same process, and guys who are consistent in their teaching and core values and not willing to compromise that."
