A school and conference record for single
game passing yards. Five touchdowns
through the air. Two players with more
than 180 receiving yards. And somehow, it
was just barely enough.
Junior quarterback Stephen Morris
threw a 62-yard strike to Phillip Dorsett with
19 seconds left as the Miami Hurricanes de-feated
the N.C. State Wolfpack in a 44-37
shootout Saturday afternoon. The Canes (4-
1, 3-0 ACC) remain unbeaten in the confer-ence
while the Wolfpack (3-2, 0-1) dropped
their first ACC game.
It was a career day for Morris. Just a
week after his 436-yard, two-touchdown ef-fort
against Georgia Tech, Morris lit up Sun
Life stadium with 566 passing yards, crush-ing
Gino Torretta’s school record of 485 and
setting an all-time ACC best in the process.
Morris remained humble, saying the most
important part of the day was coming away
with the win.
“It’s huge,” Morris said of the record. “I
really just can’t stay on that. I’m just still try-ing
to get better. I left too many things out
there. There’s always things to work on and
get better at.”
Miami took a 10-point lead midway
through the fourth quarter, but missed sev-eral
opportunities to put the game away. But
on third down with 32 seconds to go in regu-lation
and the Canes lined up at their own 38,
Morris scrambled right and decided to take a
deep shot. His spiraling bomb went 61 yards
in the air, over three N.C. State defenders
and into the hands of Dorsett, who had a free
ride into the endzone.
“I don’t really know what to say about
it. It was kind of a freakish thing to happen
but I just rolled out to the right, I was try-ing
to buy time and I saw him,” Morris said.
“I saw Phillip running. I didn’t want to go
to overtime, so I said, ‘Here goes nothing,’
threw it up to him and he did a great job mak-ing
a play.”

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
SG Senate rejects Chick-fil-A bill
The Student Government Senate
failed to pass a bill Wednesday
afternoon that would have pro-hibited
Chick-fil-A from opening a loca-tion
at UM.
After the vote, Parker Barnett, the
speaker of the Senate, issued a statement
saying that the bill was voted down “pri-marily
based on conflicting views regard-ing
the bill’s language – not concept.”
“The University of Miami Student
Government continues to have a strong
belief that discrimination of any form is
never acceptable,” the statement read.
Still, it is unlikely that Chick-fil-A
will operate a franchise on campus.
The university is currently looking
into the retail options that will be locat-ed
in the new Student Activities Center
(SAC). According to Patricia Whitely,
vice president for student affairs, no de-cision
has been reached regarding the
dining options that will be offered at the
SAC.
Jared Payne, the senator for Spec-trUM,
a student organization that sup-ports
the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) community at UM,
introduced the bill to prevent Chick-fil-A
from opening a franchise at UM, primar-ily
in the SAC.
Chick-fil-A, a privately owned fast
food chain, came under fire over the
summer when its president, Dan Cathy,
announced that he does not support gay
marriage.
“We are very much supportive of
the family – the biblical definition of
the family unit,” Cathy told The Baptist
Press in mid-July.
