Malik Rosier did enough to quiet his critics, at least for one week, in a 49-24 win over Toledo. Rosier became the first Miami player to rush for three touchdowns and throw for two in a game since the Hurricanes joined the ACC in 2004, and it's a performance he needed to have after a shaky start to open the season against LSU. Deejay Dallas had a 100-yard rushing game, and Jeff Thomas had a 100-yard passing game to help the offense get going. But there are some injury questions for the Miami defense: Safety Jaquan Johnson left the game with a right hamstring injury, and defensive tackle Gerald Willis also got banged up. Johnson and Willis are two of the Canes' best defensive players, and Miami is going to need them healthy if it is going to make a run for the Coastal Division title. -- Adelson
