The Miami Hurricanes football team’s off-field troubles...
The Miami Hurricanes football team’s off-field troubles are continuing, with starting wide receiver Michael Irvin and reserve tight end Brian Smith showing up in unrelated police incidents, the Miami Herald reported. Irvin, a sophomore who broke the school touchdown reception record on Thursdaynight, allegedly drove over the feet of two law students after a campus argument. The students were not seriously injured. Smith was named as a suspect in a campus burglary and has been dropped from the team.
Neither Irvin nor Smith has been formally charged, but both were named as suspects in police reports. Both incidents occurred Monday, two days before university president Tad Foote released a report expressing the hope that the team’s legal problems had ended.
