Life as a retiree has its perks. I am able to relax and watch the games without worrying about how I am going to write this one up this week. But every once in a while there is something that will draw me out and make me want to post an Upon Further Review. Getting one of the best QB’s out of...

“Welcome back.” That was the succinct two word message I received from D$ the morning after the Clemson game. It wasn’t an indication of fair-weather fandom, but rather a two word message of solidarity. This program needed this win to “welcome back” the good vibes and the diehard fan base that...

In the past, Miami going on the road against a G5 school with a winning record would have been met with some trepidation. Not in 2023! Miami traveled up to Philadelphia and laid a beating on poor old Temple. How did it look on film? Find out below. First play and Mauigoa definitely jumped that...

What a weekend for this lifelong Miami fan (yes, I'm also a big Dolphins fan) as the Miami Hurricanes came out and put on a statement performance against SEC foe Texas A&M (after the first quarter). I’m going to walk through some of the plays of the game and simply enjoy what Coach Cristobal is...

Hope springs eternal, as the Miami Hurricanes open another football season. There is renewed hope for this season as Mario Cristobal leads the team into his second season with a revised roster full of blue chip freshman recruits and top-tier transfers. But also, the memories of a disastrous 5-7...

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to D$ and the entire Canesinsight staff for allowing me to write and contribute to the site and for always promoting my work. Thank you to the board for welcoming me and my film content with a lot of positivity. I'm joining a start-up Canes site...

Miami embarks on another new journey in 2022. This time under the direction of Mario Cristobal and a revamped staff complete with all the support staff of an elite SEC club. Miami fans are excited with the direction of the team and this was the first chance to see the fruits of their spring...

As the season winds down and the clock approaches midnight on the tenure of another Miami HC in the 2000’s, our beloved Canes looked to get bowl eligible against the Virginia Tech Hokies, who just happened to be coachless after they, too, fired their HC. How did it look on film? Strap in and...

For the second week in a row, Miami pulled off a win over top-20 opponent; this time on the road. How did they do it? Find out with me here at Upon Further Review. Watching live I was a little annoyed that McCloud didn’t sack Pickett here, but on the replay I see why. That’s the nasty I want to...

Miami is back in the win column and that makes writing these a lot more fun. How did it look on film? Keep reading Upon Further Review as we find out together. Carter covers the RB who splits out wide, Deandre Johnson wins on an inside move and pressures the QB. Forces the throwaway. (Not...

Miami put forth a good second half in their game against UNC but came up just short. How did it look on film? Follow along here at Upon Further Review. First play and one of the issues I see so often with our DL/LB group is how often they lose sight of the ball and just dive with their...

Need a mental break. I'll sum it up quickly: more breakdowns in execution, more dropped interceptions, more leaving the edge of the defense exposed, more LB's lost in coverage. Hope everyone takes a break from Miami sports for a few days and recharges.

Miami returned to the home field after the Michigan State game and played an easier opponent in Central Connecticut State. It gave the team a chance to play some younger players, find out more about the QB battle, and reset for the conference slate upcoming. How did it look on film? Find out...

We all have a penance to pay for the decisions we make in life. For each of us here, it was our decision to become fans of the Miami Hurricanes’ football program that we have to pay penance for today. Find out where it went wrong, how far away Miami really is, and if this can be salvaged, only...

Welcome back to Upon Further Review, where we will dive into the important plays of the game vs. App State as well as take a look at some data points to really understand why the Canes struggled, where they can improve, and some things that went well. First drive and Miami goes 3 and out, with...

The season kicked off for the Miami Hurricanes with a matchup against top-ranked Alabama and there were some positives to see, as well as some not-so-positive things to see. Let’s walk through it together at Upon Further Review. On 3rd & 7, Miami sends five rushers with Frierson backing out...

That wonderful sound you will soon be hearing on Greentree is the sound of another fall camp opening up for our beloved Miami Hurricanes. Miami is coming off a decent season when they finished 8-3 but were close to breaking through for more. What questions remain for the 2021 Hurricanes? What is...

Welcome back to your spring edition of Upon Further Review. Miami held their annual spring game on Saturday and ACCN was there to broadcast it live, giving us the opportunity to see our football Canes back in action for the first time in four months. New defensive coaches were added, several...

Miami signed 21 players in the early signing period and it looks to be a really strong class. Everyone loves a list, so I decided to watch a full game of every recruit and then rank them. A few caveats: 1. I’m not ranking the kicker, because frankly, I’m not a kicker expert. Safe to say he’s a...
