CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Of Miamis 11 offensive starters from last seasons bowl game, it seems likely that 10 will play when the Hurricanes open the season this weekend.Thats the good news.Heres the other side of that coin: Only three of the defensive starters from that game are back. Graduation ended the Miami careers of four defensive starters from that Sun Bowl loss to Washington State, cornerback Artie Burns left Miami a year early to become a first-round NFL draft pick and all three starters at linebacker in the bowl game departed in an extra-benefits mess surrounding access to luxury rental cars.So not only does Miami have a new coach in Mark Richt, a new staff and a newly remodeled home field, it essentially will have a new defense as well when it plays host to Florida A&M on Saturday night in the season-opener for both teams.No one needs to do anything extraordinary, Richt said Tuesday. They just need to do their job, take care of their business.Nowhere will that philosophy seem more crucial to Miami than at linebacker. Unless Richt and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz change their minds before Saturday, the Hurricanes will start three true freshmen at linebacker in the opener.Zach McCloud, Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney arrived at Miami in January, touted as the future of the Hurricanes defense.That future is apparently now, and quarterback Brad Kaaya is already sold on the trios abilities.Shaq, Pinckney and Zach, you watch them practice, you watch them fly around, you wouldnt really think that theyre freshmen, Kaaya said. I mean, Shaq, I come in here at 5:30 in the morning to get treatment and Shaqs always up at 5 a.m., getting some workout or on the bike. Even if hes not injured or hurting, hes taking care of his body ... like hes a professional already.The only three defensive starters back from the bowl game are defensive lineman Chad Thomas and defensive backs Corn Eldeer and Rayshawn Jenkins.dddddddddddd They have plenty of experience, combining for 40 starts so far in their Miami careers. Everyone else on the Miami defense has combined to make 20 starts as Hurricanes.To put it in even more perspective, Miami is returning 80 percent of its offensive starting lineups from last season, 31 percent of its defensive starting lineups.And the Rattlers will surely try to confuse the new group Saturday.Theyre making a transition with their personnel, Florida A&M coach Alex Wood said. Were always going to try to present multiple looks.With Al-Quadin Muhammad, Juwon Young and Jermaine Grace -- Miamis three leading tacklers from 2015 -- all no longer part of the Hurricanes after the rental-car probe that ended last week, the linebackers will now be asked to grow up in a hurry. Young has been gone for weeks, but Muhammad and Grace were both figuring to be starters for the Hurricanes as recently as just a few days ago.Their departures led to plenty of changes on the depth chart.Its been a learning experience, Quarterman said during camp.Saturday will be another one, for certain. The Hurricanes have won the last nine meetings against Florida A&M by an average score of 49-6, and the Rattlers are coming off a 1-10 season. But there will be pressure for Miami to perform right away, and for a defense to set the tone.Kaaya said hes seen a similar situation with lots of experience on one side of the ball, lots of inexperience on the other once before. His senior year of high school featured a team that was loaded with offensive talent, and loaded with newcomers on the defensive side.Our defense was fairly inexperienced, but they got it together by Week 3 or 4, Kaaya said. And we just rolled from there and won a state championship. So well see. ' ' '
