A Tucson, Ariz.-based humanitarian group called No More Deaths has taken a great deal of fire for its practice of leaving behind water jugs in arid lands that are notorious for being flooded by illegal immigrants.

Many opponents have accused the group of encouraging illegal immigration, saying the organization ought to be punished. The New York Times has reported several of the group’s members being charged with littering the otherwise wide-open desert area. While most members have been acquitted of the charges brought against them, the inconveniences of being arrested and hiring an attorney to fight the case are there nonetheless.

No More Deaths defends its stance on leaving water jugs behind because the water is left for anyone who passes through the desert, whether it is an illegal immigrant or a law enforcement official. A member of the group has echoed this sentiment, saying, “We’d give water to anyone we found in the desert, even the border patrol.”

On the surface, what No More Deaths is doing does seem to at least support those crossing the borders illegally in their efforts. Some claim that by providing water jugs, No More Deaths is encouraging the illegal passage. In response to that claim, a member of the Sierra Club correctly cites increased border control as the reason more people are choosing to venture through the desert for passage to the U.S. Those crossing the border are desperate individuals who venture into the desert with the intention of finding a better life; whether there is water there or not is irrelevant to them. So, blaming No More Deaths for the increase in immigrants passing through desert regions is incorrect.

In regard to legality, however, there is some concern. The No More Deaths water jugs are aiding illegal immigrants, and thus aiding criminals. Whether or not you sympathize with illegal immigration, you must recognize that in pure legal terms this organization is aiding someone who is breaking the law. No More Deaths can pretend that the jugs are for whomever, but let’s face it; a border enforcement official isn’t going to be dying of thirst when they can simply drive their vehicle back to wherever they may be stationed.

What ought to be done instead of leaving water in the desert is increasing production of rescue beacons like those created by border patrol. These beacons allow immigrants to send out a distress call. This enforces the law and allows border patrol to do a better job, while at the same time still allowing for humanitarian efforts.

There are people who will cross the border no matter what. They accept the difficulties that face them, and while it is a nice gesture to provide water to them, the reasoning just doesn’t justify the act. These individuals face the arduous task of crossing the border through illegal means, and therefore accept the risks they take. They accept that water will be in short supply and heat will be a factor. Aiding them in their venture just doesn’t add up. Yes, it’s a very kind humanitarian effort and these people shouldn’t just be left to die a painful dehydration-induced death. However, helping illegal immigrants cross the border isn’t the proper means to changing the immigration process.

If you want to make a change in policy you’re going to have to do more than help illegal immigrants with hydration. If you’re extremely opposed to illegal immigration, then you just might be all for letting the illegal immigrants die, but the simple fact is that they’re humans. Although they may be breaking the law, it is not your place to pass judgment on individuals who are obviously dreadfully desperate. It’s necessary to enforce the laws with respect to the value of a human life.

These immigrants shouldn’t be left to die out in the desert, but there need to be more appropriate means for keeping them alive. Their lives are valuable, but aiding them in their crossing is illegal nonetheless. Whether you think the immigration process should be altered or not, leaving behind water jugs isn’t helping the progress toward a better immigration system.

If you’re a college student, chances are you’ve gotten on Facebook at least once today before reading this review. If you’re a college student and don’t have a Facebook, congratulations. You and four other people in the nation have resisted a very popular growing trend.

But how did that trend even start? That’s what David Fincher’s new movie “The Social Network” aims to uncover.

Director David Fincher (“Fight Club,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”), along with writer Aaron Sorkin (“The West Wing”), takes the story of former Harvard student, Facebook’s creator and the world’s youngest billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, as told by fellow Harvard attendee Ben Mezrich (“Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions” on which the film “21” was based) in his book “The Accidental Billionaires.”

The movie opens with a simple collegiate atmosphere. Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) are talking with one another at a bar. Eisenberg immediately lays out the type of character Zuckerberg will be in this film: socially awkward, somewhat tactless, yet still desperately seeking the approval of others. And when he loses the approval of his girlfriend, who within 10 minutes becomes his ex, Zuckerberg decides, in a bit of a drunken stupor, to lambast his girlfriend on LiveJournal (remember that?) and create Facemash.com, a website where people judge women’s attractiveness by comparing them to each other.

While Facemash.com is getting programmed, we’re shown that college social networking before Facebook moves along, via drinks, partying and doing some rather outrageous things to ensure attention and affection. (This is, of course, something that Facebook probably hasn’t changed all that much, if at all.) When Facemash.com goes viral and crashes the Harvard servers, Zuckerberg becomes an overnight celebrity.

Somewhere around this point, the movie stops going in the direction of typical, chronological story-telling and the pace of the film picks up to a near frenzy as it is revealed to the audience that Zuckerberg is actually facing two different depositions about Facebook and being brought up on charges by the very people he once called colleagues and friends.

This pace, a rapid-fire trip through three different events, creates this mesmerizing atmosphere that is almost certain to draw the audience in. There is not a dull moment in the entire film. And even when it seems there might be, music composers Trent Reznor, of Nine Inch Nails, and Atticus Ross, a producer for Nine Inch Nails, come to the rescue and combine a compelling soundtrack with intense camera work to keep the audience drawn in.

During one seemingly unnecessary scene, we see the Harvard crew team compete in England with Hollandia’s crew team. But before one can ask, “Why is this scene even here?” Reznor and Ross bring out their version of the classic Grieg piece “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” attach it to some amazing direction by Fincher and create one of the most memorable and engaging scenes in the entire film. And since the rest of the film, through the acting and writing, is one of the most engaging films I’ve seen all year, that’s a feat.

Sorkin’s writing takes what could easily have been a dull story and creates some amazingly humorous moments to break up the drama, allowing us to feel the realistic nature of it all. The Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer Jr. and Josh Pence) get to deliver some of the best comic scenes I’ve seen in a long time, causing more laughter than I ever expected from a Facebook film.

The acting stands solidly as well. There are several familiar faces throughout the movie, but perhaps the most surprising and pleasing performance comes from Justin Timberlake, who plays Napster founder and Zuckerberg mentor Sean Parker. Charisma seeps out of him, but you feel the entire time that there’s something off about him. And future Spiderman Andrew Garfield portrays Zuckerberg’s former partner and friend Eduardo Saverin with a very intense realism that kept me completely enraptured in his struggles.

“The Social Network” was a movie I was skeptical about when I first heard the idea. A Facebook movie sounds boring, but Fincher, Reznor, Ross, Sorkin and the cast don’t bring a movie just about how Facebook came about. They bring a compelling story of a young college boy who suffered heartbreak and struggled to become amazing, perhaps no matter who was sacrificed in the way. But, as can often happen in a drunken stupor when you have access to the Internet, perhaps there were regrets for those involved.

One thing you probably won’t regret? Seeing “The Social Network.”

Different stadium, different season.

Same kicker, same story.

Erik Folk hit a 32-yard field goal as time expired to lift Washington to a 32-31 victory over No. 18 USC Saturday at the Coliseum.

It was almost identical to a season ago when Folk hit a 22-yarder with three seconds left to give Washington the upset over then-No. 3 USC. The Washington win may not have been as shocking as it was a year ago, but it was just as debilitating for the Trojans (4-1).

“It’s very painful,” USC defensive tackle Jurrell Casey said. “It’s hard to explain how painful it is right now.”

USC had two opportunities to score fourth-quarter touchdowns but came up short both times.

“When you have the ball and you have a chance to finish, you can’t go and kick field goals,” USC coach Lane Kiffin said.

Down 29-28, quarterback Matt Barkley missed a wide-open David Ausberry in the endzone, the ball barley touching Ausberry’s outstretched fingertips. The Trojans settled for a 27-yard field goal by kicker Joe Houston and took the lead.

After stopping the Huskies on their next drive, the Trojans moved the ball inside the Washington 25-yardline. Barkley again missed an open receiver, this time tight end Jordan Cameron, on a third-down, so USC had to settle for another field goal try.

Only this time, Houston’s 40-yard attempt hit the right field goal post. Houston is 2-of-6 on field goal tries this year and has not made a kick longer than 34 yards.

“It felt good that’s for sure,” Houston said. “The second you look up it started tailing a little bit. Next thing you know it hits the upright.”

When asked if the kicker position would be reopened for competition, USC coach Lane Kiffin said, “Definitely.” Barkley said he was too focused on not throwing interceptions on those key third-down plays.

“I should have made those passes…,” he said. “I was more focused on not turning the ball over.”

Barkley finished 14-of-20 for 186 yards without a touchdown or an interception.

After Houston’s miss, Washington took over with 2:34 and quarterback Jake Locker marched the Huskies down the field to set up Folk’s winning kick. Locker completed a fourth-and-11 to D’Andre Goodwin to keep the Huskies alive. A few runs later by running back Chris Polk and Washington was in business.

Locker was again the driving force behind the Huskies’ upset. He amassed 426 total yards — 310 passing and 116 rushing — which accounted for nearly 80 percent of his team’s offense.

“I have 10 other guys around me that makes it a lot easier,” Locker said. “I’m proud of how we played.”

With Washington in range, Kiffin chose not to use any of his three timeouts to try to preserve time for a potential USC response. Kiffin said he was getting ready to use the timeouts but Washington was moving the ball too easily.

“We weren’t gonna stop them, we were dead,” Kiffin said.

Instead, Kiffin used two timeouts to try to ice Folk but to no avail. Folk rose to the occasion once again.

“I was just thinking about making it, I wasn’t thinking about the situation at all or what happened last year,” Folk said.

The game was a back-and-forth offensive affair with eight lead changes. Washington gained 537 total yards and USC was not far behind with 484.

USC got on the board first when Allen Bradford took a handoff and sped 37 yards untouched for a score. Then Washington responded with 17 unanswered points.

Washington came a yard away from scoring another first half touchdown, but USC cornerback Shareece Wright knocked the ball out of Locker’s arm before he crossed the goal line. The ball went out of bounds and into the endzone for a touchback.

Lost in the disappointment over the loss was the performance by Bradford, who rushed for a career high 224 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. After a third-quarter fumble by starter Marc Tyler, Bradford got the bulk of the carries and made the most of it.

But Washington slowed Bradford down enough, making the Trojans throw on those two important third downs. The Trojans now will try to shift focus to their big game next week at Stanford, but Kiffin hopes they will take a lesson from this game.

“The hope is that our players learn from this,” Kiffin said. “That we have to finish people off.”

CHESTNUT HILL, MA. – After defeating Boston College 31-13, the biggest question about Notre Dame’s performance is which was more impressive: the offense’s fast start or the defense’s complete shutdown of the Eagles running game?

“Well we got off to a fast start,” Irish coach Brian Kelly said. “I thought that was key, obviously, on the road. We had three touchdowns on the first four possessions, and that gives us a lot of confidence early on. We’re just happy to get a victory at this point.”

The Irish offense struck early and often, scoring three touchdowns in the first quarter alone. The outburst began when junior quarterback Dayne Crist ran seven yards for a score after less than two minutes of the game had passed. Crist threw two more touchdowns – a ywo-yarder to junior tight end Kyle Rudolph and a 20-yard score to sophomore receiver Theo Riddick – before the quarter ended.

“He’s got to be a spread quarterback or he can’t be the quarterback here,” Kelly said. “We’re running a spread offense, and there’s got to be a spread quarterback. He’s all in. He’s 100% in. He had a great week of practice, and we’re really just working on that process of developing him as a spread quarterback. He’s not there yet, but he’s developing. He’s showing signs, and I think we’re going to get better each and every week with him, but under those conditions.”

While Notre Dame proceeded to score twice more – a 37-yard field goal from senior David Ruffer in the second quarter and a two-yard run by senior running back Armando Allen in the third to provide the final score – the Irish defense eliminated any chance of a threat from Boston College.

Sophomore linebackers Manti Te’o and Carlo Calabrese each recorded 10 tackles, leading the effort which limited Eagles running back Montel Harris to 28 yards on 15 carries. Boston College managed only five total rushing yards, while tallying 11 punts and converting four of 19 third down opportunities.

“Our defense played great against the run,” Kelly said. “We really focused on taking the run away, knowing that the quarterbacks would be coming in and out of the game, we really focused on the run and we ended up only giving up five yards of rushing. So, any time you go on the road, play good rush defense, get off to a good start – we’ve got a lot of work to do – but again, those things are the things you’re looking for when you go on the road.”

Crist ended the game with 203 passing yards, completing 24 of 44 attempts, and Allen led Irish rushers with 90 yards on 19 attempts. Riddick caught nine of Crist’s passes for 69 yards.

After the completion of Nevada’s 44-26 win against UNLV head coach Chris Ault was displeased. Ault handed back the coaches passes-which said UNR Coaches.

“We won’t wear these again,” Ault said. “We wouldn’t do that to them up there.”

The Wolf Pack overcame a slow start and three turnovers to defeat UNLV and keep the Fremont Cannon for the sixth year in a row-the longest streak in the rivalry’s history.

“It’s the first time we’ve gone six times in a row so it’s a great feeling,” quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. “I’ve never seen it any other color and I’d like to keep it that way.”

Early on, it appeared as though the game would be close. The two teams were tied at seven after the first quarter. Wide receiver Rishard Mathews fumbled a punt return in the first quarter. The kick coverage team also struggled, giving up returns of 68, 32, 23 and 22 yards.

“That’s about being in the right lanes and making the right plays,” Ault said. “There’s no excuse for the way our kick-off coverage team and our kick return team played tonight.”

Kaepernick threw an interception in the first half and Nevada lost two fumbles during the game.

However, Nevada outscored the Rebels 37-13 the rest of the game to win pulling away. The Wolf Pack gained 516 yards of offense while the Rebels gained 294.

But the Rebels kept the game close, pulling to within 31-17 late in the third quarter.

“We made our mistakes and gave them a couple of points,” defensive end Dontay Moch said. “We have to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

After scoring, however, the Wolf Pack answered immediately. On Nevada’s next play from scrimmage, Taua scored on a 72-yard touchdown run as Nevada went up 38-17 headed into the fourth quarter.

Nevada improved to 5-0 on the season while the Rebels fell to 1-4, the first time the Wolf Pack is undefeated headed into conference play since joining the Western Athletic Conference.

Nevada had three different players who scored rushing touchdowns-Kaepernick, and running backs Vai Taua and Courtney Randall. Taua also caught Kaepernick’s lone passing touchdown of the game.

Nevada hosts San Jose State next Saturday to open its conference season.

It’s only the second day of October, but Christmas came early for the LSU football team on Saturday.

The No. 12 Tigers escaped with a 16-14 victory in one of the most bizarre finishes fans have seen in years.

With LSU trailing, 14-10, and at the Tennessee 2-yard line with 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter, junior quarterback Jordan Jefferson was stuffed for a 1-yard yard gain.

Then, chaos ensued.

Reminiscent of the Ole Miss debacle last year, LSU tried to sub to get another play off while the clock ticked down. Junior center T-Bob Hebert snapped the ball with three seconds remaining, but Jefferson wasn’t ready and the ball went six yards behind him as the clock read 0:00.

As Tennessee players rejoiced and LSU players laid on the turf in disgust, the referee announced Tennessee had 13 men on the field, leaving LSU with one untimed down.

LSU junior running back Stevan Ridley bulldozed his way into the end zone as anger and disbelief turned to cheers and disbelief.

“I don’t know that we can play any sloppier,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “The series of downs in the back end of that game was embarrassing to me.”

Ridley finished with 123 yards to record his third 100-yard game of the season.

Jefferson finished 3-for-10 for 30 yards and two interceptions and shared duties with junior quarterback Jarrett Lee. Lee finished with 185 yards and an interception, but more importantly led the Tigers down the field on the final possession.

Lee completed two huge passes to senior wide receiver Terrence Toliver with LSU on its heels – a 14-yard pass on third-and-13 and a 17-yard hookup on fourth-and-14.

Jefferson did rack up 100 yards rushing on five carries, though a large chunk came on an 83-yard touchdown scamper on the first play of the game.

LSU travels to No. 7 Florida next weekend.

The fourth-ranked Oregon Ducks overcame a 21-3 first quarter deficit to defeat No. 9 Stanford 52-31 Saturday night at Autzen Stadium.

With the win, Oregon improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in Pacific-10 Conference play heading into a road game next week at Washington State.

“I think with our tempo and our speed and how we play, it’s just a matter of time before we actually just wear teams down,” second-year head coach Chip Kelly said.

The Ducks amassed 626 yards of total offense (388 rushing, 238 passing) to avenge the team’s only Pac-10 loss last season, while giving up 518 yards of offense to the Cardinal.

On the opening possession, Oregon drove the ball 70 yards on nine plays but were held to just a field goal before the Cardinal rattled off 21 unanswered points by the end of the first quarter.

During that stretch, sophomore quarterback Andrew Luck completed six passes for 53 yards, including an 18-yard scoring strike to Griff Whalen. Luck also ran for another score in the opening period before Stepfan Taylor scampered 44 yards to pay dirt with 1:08 remaining.

“That’s a really, really good football team,” Kelly said. “You watch them come in and you see Andrew Luck, I mean there haven’t been many guys who come into this place and don’t get rattled, and he didn’t get rattled.”

Oregon responded with a 21-point second quarter of its own with sophomore quarterback Darron Thomas hitting senior Jeff Maehl and freshman Josh Huff with 29- and 41-yard scoring strikes, respectively. The two touchdown passes sandwiched sophomore running back LaMichael James’ first scoring run of the night from five yards out.

Despite the hot start, Stanford wasn’t able to stay with the rigorous Oregon pace for much longer. Over the final three quarters, the Ducks went on a 49-10 scoring run and Stanford couldn’t recover.

James had the best night of his Oregon tenure, running for a career-best 257 yards on a career-high 30 carries, and accumulated three touchdowns. James now sits 10th on Oregon’s career rushing list with 2,258 yards to his credit.

The Texarkana, Texas, native said he wasn’t at all shaken by the Ducks’ slow start, acknowledging Kelly’s intense practice regimen as something the players can always fall back on.

“I think it’s really hard to keep up with us because we practice so fast,” James said. “We put a lot into it in practice for the game. So when it comes to the third or fourth quarter and we’re down by a touchdown or whatever, you know, we really feel confident because of our endurance and our tempo.”

James capped the scoring with his 76-yard touchdown run with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter.

“We know we’re going to finish,” Thomas said. “So we’ve just got to keep working, keep grinding.”

Thomas had a strong night under center, completing 20 of 29 passes for 238 yards and three scores, though he did throw two interceptions. On the ground, Thomas also accounted for another 117 yards on 15 carries and another score.

“He really is a phenomenal player,” James said of Thomas. “And he really leads this team as far as tempo and making the right reads.”

Thomas’ counterpart, Luck, finished the night 29 of 46 passing for 341 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw two interceptions and was sacked once. That lone sack was the only play of the night to go for negative yardage for either team.

The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide answered the nation’s questions Saturday with its convincing 31-6 victory over the No. 7 Florida Gators in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Both teams came into the game unbeaten, but only Alabama stays perfect at 5-0, 2-0 in the Southeastern Conference. Now only three unbeatens remain in the SEC.

“I think we played more as a team today than we usually do,” running back Mark Ingram said. “We believe that when we’re on the same page and play with the intangibles that Alabama football is built on like disciple, toughness, execution, everybody being accountable of their job and everybody being supportive of their teammates, that we’re real tough to beat if we’re all on the same page.”

Alabama started off with a solid 68-yard drive that resulted in a field goal. Then when Florida got the ball back, the Gators managed to march down to Alabama’s 2-yard line. On a fourth-and-goal, Florida quarterback Trey Burton threw a Tim-Tebow-like jump pass over the heads of the defensive line.

Instead of a touchdown, however, linebacker Nico Johnson snatched it up for a touchback instead, giving Alabama a huge momentum swing early in the game.

“I think fourth and whatever to get out of there with no points after they put together a really good job probably was a big momentum changer in the game,” head coach Nick Saban said. “That was a huge play in the game, especially early in the game.”

Alabama started off the second quarter with Ingram’s fifth touchdown run of the season, and only minutes later, he ran in for his sixth. All the while, the Tide’s defense managed to keep Florida from driving.

After defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted a pass from John Brantley, the Gators’ starting quarterback, Alabama threw some trickery into the game.

Wide receiver Marquis Maze, who played quarterback some in high school, took the snap and threw the ball to tight end Mike Williams in the right corner of the end zone.

Florida managed one field goal, an attempt from 39 yards out, and so the halftime score was 24-3, coincidentally the same halftime score as in 2005 when Florida was in Tuscaloosa last.

In the second half, Florida received the ball first to tack on another three points with a 21-yard field goal attempt. But that was all the scoring Florida would do. The Gators gave up two more turnovers in the second half: one interception to C.J. Mosley that was good for six points and then a fumble at the goal line, giving Alabama the ball back at its own 5-yard line.

However, in the second half, Alabama only scored one touchdown, and Saban said the team needs to work on finishing strong.

“I think it’s always important to be able to start fast,” he said. “You want to finish strong, which we didn’t necessarily do today. We started fast in the game, and that was good.”

On the defensive side, Courtney Upshaw led the way in tackles for a loss with four. In total tackles, he had seven, while Mark Barron led the board with 11. Barron had the only sack of the game too, for a loss of 8 yards.

Next week, the Tide travels to Columbia, S.C., to take on the No. 20 South Carolina Gamecocks for another big SEC road test. Ingram said the Florida game will give the team momentum going back on the road.

“I think it helps definitely because we should be proud of the way we played today,” he said. “We beat a great team in Florida out there today, but we still have lots of room for improvement in all aspects of our game.”

BLOOMINGTON — In a game between the Big Ten’s best pass offense and the nation’s second-best rush offense, one had to expect to see a show between Indiana and Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

The outcome satisfied the foretold “shootout,” with Michigan winning its conference opener 42-35 thanks to a fast start and a clutch finish on the part of the Wolverine offense.

The struggle was characterized by a Michigan offense that scored on quick, exciting plays and a slow methodical Hoosier offense that dinked and dunked its way down the field.

The Wolverines (5-0) scored touchdowns of 72, 70, 56 and 32 yards. Robinson led the offense on the ground and through the air with an average of 17.3 yards-per-pass and 11.9 yards-per-rush. He finished with 218 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Robinson also threw for 277 yards and three touchdowns on 10-of-16 passing.

With that, he became the first quarterback in FBS history to both run and throw for more than 200 yards twice in his career. Robinson, widely acknowledged as the Heisman Trophy front-runner before today’s performance, did it in the first half of his first season as a starter.

When Chappell and the Hoosiers (4-1) had the ball, they ended long drives with touchdowns. Perhaps the most crucial of these came when Indiana coach Bill Lynch decided to go for the touchdown — instead of kicking a field goal — with a few seconds remaining in the first half.

Chappell was distributing the ball all over the field. And though he wasn’t hitting the deep long passes, he finished the game having completed 44-of-62 passes for 472 yards and three touchdowns. He set an all-time record for pass yards against Michigan.

Indiana struck first with a long 77-yard drive to start the game, led by fifth-year senior quarterback Ben Chappell. On that drive, the Hoosier receivers found openings in the Michigan secondary and created holes for redshirt sophomore Darius Willis to run through.

Sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson retaliated with a 72-yard touchdown play of his own.

Indiana did have a few hiccups early on after its first drive and it seemed as if Michigan would be able to build a lead. But Robinson fumbled a snap near the goal line — when a touchdown would have given Michigan a 21-7 lead — and the Hoosiers had new life. Indiana outscored Michigan 14-7 to end the half with score tied at 21.

In the second half, the Wolverines got back to their big-play-offense and broke two of those long touchdowns to take a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter. Michigan did go three-and-out, twice in the third quarter though. On one of those drives, Robinson exited the game for two plays with what appeared to be a minor injury to his already problematic knee.

The Michigan defense bent, but didn’t break in the second half as much as it did in the first. The Wolverines forced two punts and one turnover on downs as the Hoosiers tried to catch up.

What started as a shootout ended with both offenses seemingly running out of gas.

But Chappell and Indiana had enough left to score a game-tying touchdown with 1:15 remaining in the game, on a 19-yard touchdown pass to Willis.

Robinson and the Wolverines responded once again. With little time left on the clock, Robinson led the Wolverines on a five-play, 73-yard drive to secure the win, capped off with a Robinson touchdown run set up by a 42-yard pass to redshirt junior wide receiver Junior Hemingway inside the five-yard line.

The U. Miami football team defeated Clemson University 30-21 Saturday afternoon in Death Valley.

UM (3-1, 1-0) forced six turnovers against the Tigers (2-2, 0-1) but none was even the biggest defensive play.

With just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Miami led 27-21 and Clemson was threatening in the red zone. CU head coach Dabo Swinney decided to go for it on 4^th-and-1 from the 20 yard line and junior cornerback Brandon Harris leveled running back Andre Ellington as the Tigers turned the ball over on downs.

On the ensuing drive senior kicker Matt Bosher hit a 29 yard field goal to make the game a two possession contest.

Junior quarterback Jacory Harris looked unimpressive but did throw four touchdown passes, three of them were to senior standout Leonard Hankerson who finished the day with seven grabs for 147 yards.

Harris was 13-for-33 with 205 yards passing but did throw two interceptions, one in the end zone.

Senior running back Damien Berry ran for over 100 yards.
