CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Jacory Harris is Miami’s starting quarterback again.

The university released its depth chart for the Sept. 17 game against No. 15 Ohio State on Wednesday, with Harris already in place as the starter over Stephen Morris. Harris did not play in Miami’s season-opening loss at Maryland because he was serving a one-game suspension ordered by the NCAA for taking extra benefits from a former booster.

On Tuesday, Miami coach Al Golden said that Harris and Morris would “compete here Thursday, Friday, Saturday” before the Hurricanes chose a starter. One day later, without warning or explanation, that approach changed.
