After Tuesday’s drills, Miami Hurricanes QB D’Eriq King took to the podium to discuss the team’s weekend performance in the scrimmage.
“I think it was a good scrimmage,” King said. “We have to be more consistent, always doing the right things. Guys doing the right things in plays gives us a chance to be good.”
King’s weapons seemed to be both plentiful and productive, as RB’s Jaylan Knighton and Don Chaney, plus receivers Mike Harley, Xavier Restrepo, and Will Mallory, all found the endzone on Sunday.
“The way we were moving the ball - everyone was clicking,” King said. “I had a real good feel out there. As far as receivers, I feel me and Mike Harley have a really good connection, he made a lot of players. (Dee) Wiggins and (Mark) Pope, Xavier, Mike Redding - a lot of big plays were made.”
King is known for making plays with his legs, racking up 1,421 yards and 28 TD’s rushing while at Houston, but he feels some overlook his ability to sling the rock through the air.
“A lot of times, guys look at a quarterback like myself as a runner,” King said. “I don’t think I’m just running. I’m a quarterback that can throw.”
OC Rhett Lashlee brings his spread system to Miami in 2020, an offense King feels right at home in.
“He’s a great offensive coordinator, calls great plays,” King said of Lashlee. “The tempo on the offense helps us as well. We get the ball out really quick, simple reads, take shots downfield quick, and we have a great running attack too.”
Speaking on the offensive line, King feels the group has made strides in the past few months and had a strong performance in the scrimmage.
“The offensive line did a great job, this whole camp they’ve been doing really, really good,” King said. “We have a lot of depth on our offensive line. A lot of young guys that played last year are doing way better. I think they had a really, really good scrimmage.”
