MOUNTAINEERS Non-offensive scores hiding No. 2 Hurricanes' weaknesses

West Virginia, meanwhile, is struggling defensively.
MIAMI (AP) -- Roscoe Parrish returns a punt for a touchdown. Devin Hester takes a kickoff the distance. Sean Taylor intercepts a pass and sprints to the end zone. D.J. Williams picks up a fumble and outruns everybody.
No. 2 Miami is scoring many different ways this season -- and often with the offense watching from the sideline.
The Hurricanes (4-0, 1-0 Big East) have 20 touchdowns, including a Big East-leading seven on defense and special teams. The non-offensive scores have sparked victories, deflated opponents and compensated for a somewhat struggling offense.
Miami hopes to continue its varied scoring tonight against West Virginia (1-3, 0-0), but also wants the offense to get on track -- especially with a visit to rival Florida State a little more than a week away.
The game is at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
"When the defense is scoring more than you, you're not doing you're part," offensive tackle Eric Winston said. "We've got to put more points on the board. That's what it comes down to.
"We see the special teams and the defense holding up their end of the bargain, and we feel obligated to do the same."
West Virginia woes
Playing West Virginia could help. The Mountaineers are next-to-last in the Big East in total defense, giving up 393 yards a game. But they have surrendered just one non-offensive touchdown -- a blocked punt on the first possession of the season against Wisconsin.
Miami, meanwhile, has used non-offensive touchdowns to stake itself to three early leads and as catalysts for two blowouts.
"They've got playmakers at every position," West Virginia linebacker Grant Wiley said. "We're going to have to eliminate their big plays in order to win."
No one has yet.
"When we have a non-offensive touchdown, we tend to blow a game open," coach Larry Coker said. "It really takes a lot of momentum away from any team that you play."
