CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Of Miamis 11 offensive starters from last seasons bowl game, it seems likely that 10 will play when the Hurricanes open the season this weekend.Thats the good news.Heres the other side of that coin: Only three of the defensive starters from that game are back. Graduation ended the Miami careers of four defensive starters from that Sun Bowl loss to Washington State, cornerback Artie Burns left Miami a year early to become a first-round NFL draft pick and all three starters at linebacker in the bowl game departed in an extra-benefits mess surrounding access to luxury rental cars.So not only does Miami have a new coach in Mark Richt, a new staff and a newly remodeled home field, it essentially will have a new defense as well when it plays host to Florida A&M on Saturday night in the season-opener for both teams.No one needs to do anything extraordinary, Richt said Tuesday. They just need to do their job, take care of their business.Nowhere will that philosophy seem more crucial to Miami than at linebacker. Unless Richt and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz change their minds before Saturday, the Hurricanes will start three true freshmen at linebacker in the opener.Zach McCloud, Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney arrived at Miami in January, touted as the future of the Hurricanes defense.That future is apparently now, and quarterback Brad Kaaya is already sold on the trios abilities.Shaq, Pinckney and Zach, you watch them practice, you watch them fly around, you wouldnt really think that theyre freshmen, Kaaya said. I mean, Shaq, I come in here at 5:30 in the morning to get treatment and Shaqs always up at 5 a.m., getting some workout or on the bike. Even if hes not injured or hurting, hes taking care of his body ... like hes a professional already.The only three defensive starters back from the bowl game are defensive lineman Chad Thomas and defensive backs Corn Elder and Rayshawn Jenkins. They have plenty of experience, combining for 40 starts so far in their Miami careers. Everyone else on the Miami defense has combined to make 20 starts as Hurricanes.To put it in even more perspective, Miami is returning 80 percent of its offensive starting lineups from last season, 31 percent of its defensive starting lineups.And the Rattlers will surely try to confuse the new group Saturday.Theyre making a transition with their personnel, Florida A&M coach Alex Wood said. Were always going to try to present multiple looks.With Al-Quadin Muhammad, Juwon Young and Jermaine Grace -- Miamis three leading tacklers from 2015 -- all no longer part of the Hurricanes after the rental-car probe that ended last week, the linebackers will now be asked to grow up in a hurry. Young has been gone for weeks, but Muhammad and Grace were both figuring to be starters for the Hurricanes as recently as just a few days ago.Their departures led to plenty of changes on the depth chart.Its been a learning experience, Quarterman said during camp.Saturday will be another one, for certain. The Hurricanes have won the last nine meetings against Florida A&M by an average score of 49-6, and the Rattlers are coming off a 1-10 season. But there will be pressure for Miami to perform right away, and for a defense to set the tone.Kaaya said hes seen a similar situation with lots of experience on one side of the ball, lots of inexperience on the other once before. His senior year of high school featured a team that was loaded with offensive talent, and loaded with newcomers on the defensive side.Our defense was fairly inexperienced, but they got it together by Week 3 or 4, Kaaya said. And we just rolled from there and won a state championship. So well see. Ronald Acuna Jr. Jersey .

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- C.J. Anderson was bracing for a prolonged recovery as he prepared to undergo surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee late Thursday.Before heading into the operating room in Northern California, the Denver Broncos leading rusher tweeted thanks to his fans for their prayers and said, We will not know til after the procedure if i am done for the season or if I can come back to help my team to (hash)51.Anderson was Denvers offensive star in Super Bowl 50, rushing for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos 24-10 win over Carolina. That helped garner a four-year, $18 million offer from the Dolphins in restricted free agency that the Broncos matched. The front-loaded contract paid him $6 million this year.Anderson is the Broncos leading rusher with 437 yards on 110 carries and four touchdowns, including a season-best 107 yards and a TD on 16 carries Monday night against Houston in his best performance of the season.He did it despite hurting his right knee on his second carry.He is a leader of this team and thats a big role, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said. We dont know the timetable right now, but he will be missed for this game and the rest of the season if it comes to that. He deserves to be around. He worked hard for the contract. He had had been playing great last season and playing great this season, but well miss him for sure.The Broncos broke out of a prolonged funk by running for 190 yards in their 27-9 win over the Texans. Andersons right knee slightly buckled as he made a cut on the final play of the first quarter, an 11-yard run.He came in and said, `I felt something, running back Kapri Bibbs recounted. But he said, `Im good now. I feel real good. And he went back in the game an obviously was able to rush for 107 yards and carried the team and carried us to a win.Thats what gives coach Gary Kubiak hope that Anderson will be back sometime this season.I think the positive thing is he played in the game and he played through it, Kubiak saaid.dddddddddddd Its obviously something that they need to go and repair, so we have to see to what degree that is. Lets find out.Anderson didnt have a limp after the game and the Broncos left the stadium feeling good about their rejuvenated ground game that included 83 yards on 17 carries from rookie Devontae Booker, who scored his first career touchdown and now will become their starter.Anderson, who wasnt limping after the game, showed up sore Tuesday and the teams medical staff diagnosed a torn meniscus. Anderson flew to California for a second opinion on Wednesday and was prepped for surgery late Thursday after doctors confirmed the initial diagnosis.Bibbs said theres no reason the Broncos (5-2), who play San Diego (3-4) on Sunday, cant still have a powerful 1-2 punch without Anderson.Book is ready to play; Im ready to play, Bibbs said. And I dont think theres going to be any drop-off. I think were going to go in there and were going to handle our business.The Broncos had a first-round grade on Booker but were able to grab him in the fourth round after he slid because of concerns about two knee surgeries to repair a torn meniscus he suffered in his final game at Utah in November.The running back who really turned their heads this year, however, was Bibbs, whose improvement over the offseason led them to jettison fifth-year pro Ronnie Hillman, their leading rusher last season.I dont think theres an area where he hasnt improved, offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said. I think hes improved in his detail, his urgency. Obviously, hes always had very good run skills, thats why hes here. But everything that he does hes gotten better at it and worked extremely hard.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton .
