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
