Though the season just started, Miami may have already had its best moment of the year. On Saturday, after the Hurricanes rolled past Bethune-Cookman 45-0, Miami head coach Al Golden presented offensive lineman Hunter Knighton, who was in a coma last year, with the game ball.

The 6-6, 300-pound redshirt sophomore suffered a heat stroke in February of 2014, which resulted in him being in a coma for 12 days and losing 55 pounds.

On Saturday, Knighton played in his first game since the stroke and Golden called it a “miracle.”
