MIAMI — The competition isn’t as formidable this week for the Miami Hurricanes, and that has their coach concerned.

After losing last week at No. 1 Clemson, Miami will try to rebound Saturday against Pittsburgh. The No. 13-ranked Hurricanes are 9 1/2-point favorites, which makes it a game that will test the attitude second-year coach Manny Diaz is trying to instill in Coral Gables.

Diaz said that for too long, the Hurricanes have played with an arrogance they don’t deserve, a hangover from the era when Miami was a perennial national championship contender.

“We can’t just think we’re Miami, and we are more talented than, say, Pitt,” Diaz said. “Our players have been hearing that for many years, regardless of who the head coach has been, and it has not been serving them well.”

It’s a bounce-back game for both teams. The Hurricanes (3-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) went to Clemson ranked No. 7 and harbored hopes of making a prime-time splash reminiscent of their glory days. Instead, they endured a 42-17 drubbing.

The Panthers (3-2, 2-2) are two points from being undefeated. They lost 30-29 to N.C. State, and were beaten 31-30 in overtime last week.
