Sunday, November 27, 2016 at 9 a.m. When Chis Emerson rode his horse, Trigger, into Miami-Dade County from South Carolina last Wednesday morning, locals were dismayed.

Upon seeing Trigger's condition, Miami-Dade Police arrested Emerson for animal abuse Wednesday morning.Trigger's case was upsetting, for certain.

If quarterback Brad Kaaya’s final regular-season game at Hard Rock Stadium also becomes his final collegiate game, the 50,000-plus Miami Hurricanes fans who showed up Saturday will know they viewed history in the making. And if Kaaya should return in 2017 for his senior season, those fans can also return for more.

The Dolphins’ five-game winning streak has given them clarity on a few issues. They know Ryan Tannehill is their quarterback of the future and they don’t need to find a No. 1 running back, thanks to Jay Ajayi’s emergence.They know they won’t be re-signing Jordan Cameron and will look for a new tight end, but like what they’ve seen (blocking-wise) from Dion Sims. They know they can count on another year from Cam Wake, want to keep Andre Branch and will need two new defensive ends to replace Mari..>> view originalMiami Hurricanes Football: 2016 Bowl Projection post-Regular ...
