Great quarterbacks long have been the face of Miami's football program. The school that won five national championships and once set the standard for college football produced NFL Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, Heisman Trophy winners Vinny Testaverde and Gino Torretta and All-Americans Steve Walsh and Ken Dorsey.
But in new Hurricanes coach Randy Shannon's first preseason camp, the quarterbacks haven't grabbed headlines. Shannon, the former defensive coordinator who succeeded Larry Coker as coach, has made his quarterbacks off-limits to the media. Shannon apparently wanted no distractions while senior Kyle Wright (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=146486) and junior Kirby Freeman (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=156431) battled for the starting job.
