Coach Randy Shannon said Tuesday that safety Ray-Ray Armstrong will not be back this week, nor will anyone else who was out last Saturday.

``Nobody got hurt against Virginia,'' Shannon said, ``and nobody is getting better [in time to play Saturday].''

Shannon did say safety Randy Phillips, who played ``a couple plays'' against Virginia, ``will probably play more this week.'' He also said tailback Javarris James, who ran once for 3 yards Saturday, ``should be ready to go fully this week.''

Former UM power forward Jimmy Graham, a 6-8 tight end for the Hurricanes, said he plans to support his former teammates.

``I'm excited to see them play,'' he said. ``It will be a little weird going to the games, but I'm definitely going to support them because they're still part of my family.''
