THIS WEEK'S PRACTICES: Miami will practice at 9:15 Tuesday morning (Aug. 19) ... the coaches are undecided as to whether it will be a morning or an afternoon practice on Wednesday (Aug. 20) ... the RedHawks will practice under the lights on Thursday night (Aug. 21). ... Coach Shane Montgomery will conduct his first weekly press conference of the season this coming Friday (Aug. 22) at 11 a.m. The media is invited to attend the session that is held in Coach Montgomery's office.

The starters feature four seniors (end Joe Coniglio, middle linebacker Joey Hudson, outside linebacker Clayton Mullins and strong safety Robbie Wilson), five juniors (end Travis Craven, nose tackle Martin Channels, outside linebacker Caleb Bostic, free safety Jordan Gafford and cornerback Jeff Thompson) and two sophomores (tackle Sean Redwine and cornerback Brandon Stephens).
