CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami coach Mark Richt has seen his team lose three straight games, freefall in the Atlantic Coast Conference and go from unbeaten to mediocre in a span of 13 days.Even amid all that, he found something to like Friday.The Hurricanes three years on NCAA probation is over.Scholarship restrictions wont be an issue for Miami going forward, and the Hurricanes can surely use the added depth thats coming. The stats from Thursday nights 37-16 loss at Virginia Tech showed Miami used 49 players -- 25 being freshmen and sophomores, in some cases because of skill and in many cases because the roster is so decimated that Richt has few other options.Its great that were going to be able to get to a full allotment of scholarships, Richt said Friday. Thats part of our issue right now, that were very thin in a lot of spots. I think we might have had six true freshmen playing defense at the same time in that ballgame. So when you get your numbers back and you get a couple cycles of recruiting and get some depth, then you can withstand some of the injuries that weve had.Miamis final day of probation was Friday, a milestone day in the Nevin Shapiro scandal that shook the university. The rogue former booster is scheduled to be in federal prison until 2027 for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, and after his downfall from his ill-gotten lavish lifestyle he turned to the NCAA in an effort, he said, to destroy the Hurricanes and the people at the school who he said betrayed him.It is a big day, Richt said. Theres no doubt.Richt knew Miami wouldnt be a quick fix in his first season. The Hurricanes started 4-0 and rose to No. 10 in the Top 25 -- the four teams they beat are currently a combined 10-15 this season -- and all that was before Miami, which wasnt a particularly deep team to start the season anyway, started dealing with a number of significant injuries.The Hurricanes are 0-3 since, having failed to reach 20 points in any of those games. Miami didnt have a single three-game slide from 2000 through 2005. In the 11 seasons since, its now eight that have included losing skids of three or more games.Richts task going forward will be turning that around.To get that done, itll take more than a few more scholarships. Even at 4-3, hes not questioning his teams effort. Theres only so much he can get from the beat-up Hurricanes right now.You get a few injuries when youre already light as it is, its kind of a domino effect on your offensive and defensive side of the ball but it also affects your special teams as well, Richt said. Weve got guys just flat out sucking it up and were not subbing as much as we would like to because of the fact that were a little bit light.Miami next plays on Oct. 29 at Notre Dame, a renewal of one of college footballs great rivalries. Itll be the 25th meeting between the programs, and only the fifth where neither team is nationally ranked. Notre Dame (2-5) is off this weekend.The one edge to playing a Thursday-nighter this week was it gave Richt and his staff a chance to get some recruiting work done on Friday night. Fitting, given how theres finally going to be 85 scholarships available again.Getting our numbers back is going to be huge, Richt said. Weve got a bunch of great young men really excited about our program.
