After further review, Jacory Harris putting on a postgame sling was merely for comic effect.
Miami's quarterback appeared for his postgame interview after Saturday's 34-16 win over Duke with his right, or throwing, arm supported by a sling. He has a thumb injury on that hand, the exact severity of which has not been announced, and played against Duke with his hand wrapped in tape.
But when Harris left the room, he ripped off the sling. Turns out, the quarterback was "getting some of you guys," Miami coach Randy Shannon told reporters Sunday.
Harris did miss one practice last week, but Shannon insisted that his quarterback "is fine."
Perhaps an overlooked storyline of Miami's 34-16 win over Duke on Saturday was how Jimmy Graham - the 6-foot-7 former forward for the Hurricanes' basketball team - was relied upon at key times. He had five catches for 73 yards, both season-highs by a wide margin, with four of those catches coming in third-down situations.
Miami, which climbed two spots Sunday to No. 19 in the AP Top 25, scored on every one of those drives. Without Graham's catches, that might not have happened.
No. 19 Miami closes the regular season Saturday at South Florida.
