  07/24/21 - WR DEriq KingrSr/2022, Miami

  Miami quarterback D'Eriq King is fully vaccinated, almost fully healed from his torn ACL and meniscus and judging by his words and those around him Wednesday at the 2021 Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff, ready to take that first hit against Alabama on Sept. 4 in the season opener. Make that 18-point favorite defending champion Alabama. The bigger the bark, the more fun the challenge. "I kind of laugh at it,'' King told three ACC beat writers, when asked during a private interview what he thinks of the 18-point spread. But be assured that he's not laughing at Alabama.

"I like the underdog mentality,'' he said. "My whole life I've been an underdog. So I've taken and run with it. It's just motivation. Obviously, I'm looking forward to every single game, but being an 18-point underdog to the defending national champ Week 1, you've got something to look forward to." King, a sixth-year senior who was a Maxwell Trophy semifinalist last season, threw for 2,686 yards with 23 touchdowns and just five interceptions in his 10 1/2 games before the injury. He also rushed for 538 yards and four scores. He completed 64.1 percent of his passes and his 3,224 total yards for the 8-3 Hurricanes ranked 11th in the nation. - Miami Herald
