Guess I won't be going to USAToday.com for my Miami Hurricanes football coverage...

Not that a national publication like USA Today should be all over every major college football team, but the paper's website offers only one broken link to a story on yesterday's Miami-Virginia football game.

This highlights the difficulties of running a massive website like this. Keeping thousands of links active daily is a heady job, and mistakes do happen. But in cases like this, they better be fixed quickly lest the technical issues anger fickle readers into not returning.

USA Today redeems itself a little, however, with an article by Tim Reynolds about the Hurricanes' return to bowl eligibility, which vividly details the final drive in regulation Saturday.

Still, if I was a Canes fan looking through the site's already convoluted list of game recaps from Saturday and saw this non-working link, I probably wouldn't be too relieved to have to dig to find anything else Miami-related.
