CFB: Miami's Shannon says Harris' postgame sling was a joke
Associated Press
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — After further review, Jacory Harris putting on a postgame sling was merely for comic effect.
Miami's quarterback appeared for his postgame interview after Saturday's 34-16 win over Duke with his right, or throwing, arm supported by a sling. He has a thumb injury on that hand, the exact severity of which has not been announced, and played against Duke with his hand wrapped in tape.
But when Harris left the room, he ripped off the sling. Turns out, the quarterback was "getting some of you guys," Miami coach Randy Shannon told reporters Sunday.
Harris did miss one practice last week, but Shannon insisted that his quarterback "is fine."
No. 19 Miami closes the regular season Saturday at South Florida.
