CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Ken Dorsey complained about Boston College to his teammates, his coaches, even the referees. On Wednesday, the Miami Hurricanes quarterback stated his case publicly.

Dorsey was hurried repeatedly, sacked once and knocked down several times in top-ranked Miami's 38-6 win over the Eagles on Saturday. Four days later, he said many of the hits were cheap shots.

"They're not a bunch of choir boys,'' Dorsey said. "This was Boston College's scheme: Run the ball the entire game to try to keep our offense off the field. And when we're on the field, they're going to blitz and try to hit me any way possible -- late, on time, whatever.

"And they'll twist a knee at the bottom of the pile. They'll do anything. That's what they did and that's what I expect basically from every team -- to try to get hits on me and take the offense out of rhythm.''

Dorsey tempered his remarks later Wednesday.

"In the course of a game, a lot of things happen, and that's just part of the game,'' Dorsey said. "I'm definitely not calling them dirty. I have a lot of respect for what they've done.''

On a few plays, Dorsey was tackled after he released the ball and then he started jawing with Boston College defenders. He refused to discuss the hits and his reactions after the game, but changed his mind Wednesday.

"It's a very emotional game,'' he said earlier. "If you don't play emotional, then you're not enjoying yourself. I'm sure there are times when guys start yapping at me and I'm not going to sit there and take it. I never go out and look for it. I never go out and start yelling at a guy on the other team just to yell at him.''

Dorsey said he needs a reason. He had a couple against Boston College -- the team that intercepted him four times last season and nearly derailed the Hurricanes' national championship.

"I just hate Boston College, to be perfectly honest,'' he said.

Dorsey was 13-for-26 for 202 yards with two touchdowns against the Eagles on Saturday.

Miami quarterbacks coach Dan Werner downplayed the late hits but said he noticed Dorsey was more revved up than usual.

"He was a little feisty,'' Werner said. "He told me there was a lot of jabbering. Of course, he made it sound like it was coming from the other side.''

Boston College coach Tom O'Brien said Wednesday he had not heard any complaints from Hurricanes coach Larry Coker.

"If coach Coker had an issue with how the game was played, I'm sure he would give me a call and I would discuss it with him,'' O'Brien said. "Otherwise, the Miami game is history. We have respect for Miami and wish them well. We're concentrating on Central Michigan.''
