Defending national champion
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) is in unfamiliar territory after a 24-20 home loss to
Central (Miami) on Friday night.
The Gaels, ranked No. 6 nationally by MaxPreps this week, have lost two in a row for the first time since September of 2005 following Friday night's result coupled with last week's setback against No. 1
Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.).
Prior to that, Gorman (1-2) had won 55 games in a row and hadn't lost multiple contests in a season since 2013.
Facing adversity with family members at home staring down Hurricane Irma, Central (2-0) received 199 yards and two touchdowns from star running back
James Cook.
Weather was a factor in Las Vegas, as well, as kickoff and the ESPNU broadcast was pushed back nearly an hour due to lightning in the area.
Big plays by running back James Cook helped Central get a win on the road against defending national champion Bishop Gorman.
