Miami quarterback D Eriq King will undergo surgery after tearing the ACL in his right knee in the Hurricanes 37–34 loss to Oklahoma State in the Cheez-It Bowl, the school announced on Thursday.
A timetable for King s return will be determined after surgery but he is expected to be available for the start of the 2021 fall camp in August.
King suffered the injury late in the second quarter of Tuesday night s game when he scrambled to his right and his knee buckled on the run. The redshirt senior stayed on the ground for several minutes before Miami s staff helped him to the medical tent. He went to the locker room shortly before halftime and returned to the sideline in the second half with a brace on his knee.

The Cowboys’ 2020 season ended how it began: Frantically.
Oklahoma State beat Miami 37-34 in the Cheez-It Bowl on Tuesday in Orlando. Here are 10 thoughts from the contest.
1. What the Heck?
In a year of nuts games, that game was probably the most nuts.
A 21-0 lead evaporates. OSU gets big plays when it was unexpected and stalled when it wasn’t expected.
We’ll get to the hot start, but Miami answering OSU’s 21-0 run with a 19-0 run of its own was crazy. Basketball is supposed to be the game of runs.
Then after everyone had their runs, it was like two heavyweight boxers unloading all their punches before the judges took control of the fight.
Sanders, Oklahoma State beat Miami 37-34 in Cheez-It Bowl

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Oklahoma State went to the air early and often to finish its season on a high note.
Spencer Sanders threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns, and the Cowboys held off No. 18 Miami for a 37-34 victory in the Cheez-It Bowl on Tuesday.
Oklahoma State (8-3) called 15 consecutive pass plays to open the game and stormed out to a 21-0 lead. Sanders threw TD passes of 30 and 32 yards to Brennan Presley, and LD Brown had a 2-yard touchdown run.
“Our game plan going in was to try to offset some of the speed and strength they have in the front six,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. “They are a fast, athletic team. We wanted to throw the ball 25 times in the first half.”
