Last-minute heroics are becoming the norm around the University of Miami this season.

Right guard Navaughn Donaldson (lower extremity), cornerback Dee Delaney (lower extremity) and safety Sheldrick Redwine (upper extremity) are all out, while wide receiver Ahmmon Richards (lower extremity) is questionable.

Before getting into the issue with head-to-head results inside the Top 25, let's give some props to the Miami Hurricanes.
