* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players
that received the most playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming recruits, back ups,
and alternates. Their coverage will begin with our
full 2003 Preseason Preview due out this coming
spring. |

QUICK
ANALYSIS

November
28, 2003 - This team really should
be considered king of the hill until somebody
can knock them off their 30-plus winning
streak. Sources tell us that some big
name underclassmen are about to jump ship
for the NFL, leaving a scenario much like
the Florida Gators had last fall. They
came in at #1 and fell hard when the kids
started leaving. But the bottom line is
that a new, inexperienced QB will be at
the helm, and the entire DL will be dismantled
from starters to backups. Any other team,
and they would have fallen way short of
our Top 5. This is Miami and as we said
last preseason, outside of maybe Hugh
Hefner, nobody replaces talent as well.
The defensive backfield's youth was a
major concern heading into 2002. Hard
to believe this group will finish as one
of the tops in the country statistically,
and they are all back. Rank em one, two,
or three...it doesn't matter; the Hurricanes
are not going away anytime soon.
