Final Injury Report for Miami and Ohio State Ahead of the Cotton Bowl
In this story:
ARLINGTON, Tx — One of the biggest questions for the Miami Hurricanes has been the health of the team, and with the final injury report, only one starter is down for Miami, while the rest have been out for quite some time.
This won't slow down the Canes because they have most of their team back and 100 percent healthy.
This is the fourth meeting between the two teams, tied two a piece. They famously matched up in the 2002 National Championship game; some Canes fans still are feeling till this day. Now they have a chance to get a laugh back as they play in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal game in the Cotton Bowl Classic.

"They didn't win their last game," Dawson said. about Ohio State's last game. "How many points did they score? I mean, Indiana won 13-10, and nobody is saying anything about that. That's just a great win by them, you know? It's an unbelievable win by them. We win 10-3, and it's like, the win sucks. We really lost. I don't buy into that. I don't pay attention to idiots, so it doesn't matter."
