Perry didn’t have to pull the ball and run with it on 3rd down. Deejay was wide open at the bottom of the screen

9 narrated clips from the UVA game. Miami at the halfway mark is now .500 on the year equaling their record to 3-3. N'kosi Perry's first start of the season notched the victory. Let's go in the gun (or under center) and see what we see. Some overall thoughts on the game:

• UVA 3-4 scheme was one of the more difficult defenses to prepare for through the half way mark of the season
• UVA disguised many looks and brought several blitzes from various launch points
• Communication is still something that needs to improve along the offensive line
• Still a lot of plays where offensive linemen are looking for work while defenders are getting home
• Miami interjected some more zone blocking schemes on their runs this week
• Miami got victimized on some long developing play action plays under center
• Miami got some big plays on long developing play action plays under center including a screen to Deejay Dallas
• Wide Receiver drops (not in clips) hamstrung a drive here and there
• The drop by Pope (not in clips) was a on a Dino concept (twins post, post) where both wide receivers got their db's turned around. Splitting hairs but I thought Wiggins was the easier of the throws to make. Both open, not wrong, just unfortunate
• Perry did misfire on a couple throws that would have changed the complexion of the game
• Williams still holds and edge for me in terms of accuracy (Numbers withstanding)
• Perry's game is different than Williams in the regards that he looks more outside in. (A strong arm will do that for you) His penchant to work stops, comebacks and balls outside the hashes are more apparent
• Perry will look to run from the pocket quicker than Williams does and on the last offensive play of the game I agree with his decision to run it in for the TD
• To say Perry's mobility is a better fit for this offensive line is not necessarily far fetched considering he has saved this line from a couple more sacks with his elusiveness
• Miami did a good job late in the ball game with simple offense. UVA was really difficult with looks in the middle of the field but it was the simple stops and plays on the perimeter that led to big opportunities (Pope, KJ come to mind)
• Miami desperately needed this win

I don’t want to hear anymore of this ,”dink and dunk” non sense about Jarren’s play anymore because that’s exactly all Perry did vs uva. Maybe that’s just how this offense operates, which is what ive been saying.

Perry vs uva

1 for 4 on throws 20 yards or more( to osborn for 27 yards).

-1 pass completed that traveled at least 10 yards in distance before the receiver caught it(the osborn catch on the first drive).

-0 , not even 1 completed pass across the middle of the field

-A high number of passes were on bubble screens and out in the flats. A few screens in the middle of the field too.

- will say Perry was pretty accurate on throws outside the numbers though and he avoided a few sacks. That throw to osborn on the first 4th quarter drive where he threw it before osborn came out of his break was nice.

That is a simple but tough question that deserves an answer. I still go with Jarren Williams as my starter. I understand that there is a really intense following for N'kosi Perry and there is no doubt an improvement in his game over the course of a year. But here is my opinion on the matter after watching the first 6 games. I never thought Jarren was the reason for the losses the first 4 games.

He was the leading ACC passer in terms of percentage and did not throw one single interception. (A couple in harms way sure) Williams has the ability to be incredibly accurate with the ball and throw the ball with extreme arm confidence. There were some correctable deep ball things he can shore up mechanically but I disagree when people write it up as simply "arm strength." And let's be really honest here, Kosi has the arm, but he certainly missed on a deep shot or two this week as well. This might be a systemic issue not idio-centric. Both Miami qb's have missed on deep shots.

Enter the VT game and that was about what you would expect from a freshman. Except it was much differently than what I expected. It did not happened over the course of one game let alone 5, it happened on back to back to back drives. (I supported the decision to pull him by the way) Bud Foster comes out after the game and states some obvious things. Jarren does not have a Patrick Mahomes arm (generalized) and that he threw a couple intercept-able passes on film. OK. Fair. But not many people have that arm strength in the NFL let alone college.

You ask my humble opinion if Williams can make all the necessary throws to operate this offense? The answer is resoundingly yes. I bet if you ask Dan Enos this, he would agree with you too. Does that mean he can make all the throws Kosi can in the same manner? No. It does not. These kids are good at doing different things. That is the reality of it.

I will share my world a little further. I do these clips and get TONS of feedback. It is a constant blitz of sorts. "Jarren should have ran it, it was a wide open lane. etc" (And Jarren in his own admission this year said he should run a little sooner at times) This week? "N'kosi Perry STILL can't read the field, Deejay was wide open in the flats when he decided to run that ball in for six."

I mean which way do you want to go here? You just need to just say no Qb is necessarily wrong here, just different. Perry looks to run the ball sooner than Jarren. That is true. Jarren by percentage is more accurate with the ball and operates the middle of the field much better. I have film breakdown that might corroborate that as well.

So why do I pick Jarren to start next week if healthy? Because winning that quarterback battle over the course of the spring and summer still matters to me. He won the job and impressed his coaches week to week and beat out a good stable of qb's in doing so. That is a big reason why. That was cumulative. That should not so easily be erased by a really bad start to a game. Once again I always knew Jarren would make freshman mistakes. It just looks worse when it was all at once.

Now what did N'kosi Perry just do? He won. He improved over the course of a year. He showed me that a more mobile option can bail out this offensive line who is still very poor at communication and looking for work way to often. Perry showed me that all that hard cumulative work Jarren Williams put in during the off-season to win the job is now going to be marginalized. Perry has a certain spark about him and that distance Jarren put between him and #2 is ready to get engulfed and erased with more "Freshman" Mistakes.

QB1 is going to have to even play better then he did before. There is no other choice.

Against who?

Bud Foster totally disagrees with you as he didn't believe Jarren was worth a ****.

N'Kosi Perry had a good game, but he's still N'Kosi Perry. Which is to say that if you leave him out there long enough, he'll eventually start making stupid decisions with the football again and start throwing totally avoidable interceptions.

So IMO it's not "if" we see Jarren again, it's "when."

N'Kosi Perry is cursed with a Florida high school education, which means he's destined to make pea-brained decisions. I guarantee it.

And I honest-to-God believe that there's lead in the water in the state of Florida. There has to be.

Lol you mean which includes Bethune Cookman.

Jarren williams completion percentage is terrible when it matters which is why we lost to Florida and UNC. Which is also why even though he has a 71.8% completion percentage he only has a 39.3 QBR rating.... way below average for an “elite” QB that has played against UNC, Bethune, and Central Michigan. That equals out to a QB that’s losing games. Most QBs use the cup cake games to pad their stats not in this case.

Compared to N’Kosi Perry who “only” has a 60.7% completion percentage with a 63.6 QBR rating in two games, one against UVa the #11 ranked defense in the country

Jarrens qbr Is not going to be high because of the amount of sacks he took vs uf which drastically brings down his qbr rating. His passing qbr rating is good
