The Miami Hurricanes are already on their way to a bowl game, so as they go up against Wake Forest Saturday afternoon, they're hoping they can put this game behind them.

Good news for the No.7 ranked team, as they learned Tuesday that they will face no further bowl after a two-year self-imposed postseason absence.

"It's a relief that we finally have a decision," Miami President Donna Shalala said, according to ESPN. "It's been a long haul."

The Hurricanes (6-0, 2-0 ACC) currently have their highest ranking since reaching the top 3 spot in the Nov. 13,2005, AP Poll.

Despite losing running back Duke Johnson and wide receiver Phillip Dorset on top of Stephen Morris throwing four interceptions, they still pulled out with the 27-23 win at North Carolina on Oct. 17.

"Obviously, things went terribly wrong for me offensively," Morris said. "Our biggest focus was just trying to put that behind us and focus on this last drive, really."

Morris went 19 for 35 for 322 yards and they turned the ball over 12 times in the last three games after giving it away twice in their first three.

Despite the downfalls, Hurricanes coach Al Golden is still pushing his team forward.

"We can't live like that," Golden said.

As far as Wake Forest, they haven't beaten the Hurricanes since 1944, but they've won back-to-back Atlantic Division games.
