DALLAS (FWAA) – The Miami Hurricanes handed Florida its worst home loss in 23 years, 41-16, and were named the Football Writers Association of America's "Team of the Week" for games of the weekend of Sept. 7.

The honor is decided by the 16-member panel that votes in the organization's Grantland Rice Super 16 Poll, which has also debuted this season.

While Duke nabbed the honor in the season's first week by snapping the nation's longest losing streak at 23, Miami extended its national best winning streak to 24 to get the nod in near unanimous fashion this week.

Quarterback Ken Dorsey threw four touchdown passes and Willis McGahee ran for 204 yards in Miami's win, which marked the first regular-season meeting between the in-state rivals since 1987.

The only other team nominated this week was Kentucky, which blasted UTEP, 77-17, to start its season 2-0 for the just the second time since 1989.

The FWAA "Team of the Week" will be announced each Monday throughout the season. The Grantland Rice Super 16 Poll, released in the preseason, will resume on Monday, Sept. 30.

The FWAA, in conjunction with the Charlotte Touchdown Club, will also resume its Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week award this season beginning Tuesday, Sept. 10.
