Danielson: Miami Hurricanes a 'Much Improved' Team, 'ACC Sleeper'

Not everyone has low expectations for Al Golden and the Miami Hurricanes this season as the team readies for Nebraska this Saturday.

"I think that Al Golden with a quarterback that has a bit of experience this year -- I just think they are a much improved football team," CBS lead college football analyst Gary Danielson said on the Joe Rose Show. "And I think that Nebraska is kind of a work in progress. Coming in with a passing offense to Miami with the athletes and defense put together for a couple years, Miami has got to take that next step this week and show everybody the program is on the right side.

"I like Miami to take the next step. I think they are a sleeper this year in the ACC and I hope so. It's good when Miami has a good football team. I know Al -- I covered Al when he played at Penn State. I think he has the right idea how to build a football team. He hasn't taken that last step though, there's no doubt about that."
