This shouldn’t just be cast aside. It takes longer to get up to speed on offense no matter what, and now you factor Covid into it. Lashlee definitely has his hands full getting these kids all on the same page with limited time. You‘re right though, it all starts with King and he knows what he’s...

Yes. D'Eriq King is the key to this entire discussion.

Homie...he literally said if the first half of the first game coming off a pandemic and breaking in a new offensive system that we've lost time installing is tight, then the season is gonna be rough. You don't think that's a little ridiculous? And re-read what I wrote a couple posts later...I...

It didn't hurt that Brandon Wimbush was absolutely, legitimately terrified. But you're right...the defense was in a frenzy after the first drive (when Wimbush missed a WIDE OPEN TD that probably would have changed the course of the game considerably), but the offense was generally awful. We...

I don't think bowl games are relevant in the least bit 99% of the time, but I thought I knew what rock bottom was, and I was sadly mistaken after watching the LA Tech game. I literally cannot handle anything like that again. It's not good for my health. So I'm with you, if we can't win every...

Your first point is valid. Teams in the past knew they only needed to score a few times to beat us. If we start actually having a pulse on offense, it might change the way teams attack our defense and might skew some results. We'll see. But I've seen the alternative for 4 years. I'll take...

Agreed, and I wasn't saying that. I was just saying IF (and yes, IF's mean zero), but IF this offense had a pulse the last 4 years, we'd probably feel a whole lot different about where this program was. But it's a team sport, and the defense has been good enough, for the most part, offense has...

Agree with this. I said it several times leading up to the gator game last year. This program really thinks, for some odd reason, that they’re some championship factory and 1 loss makes the season not worth playing. That said, we’re not losing to Temple at home.

In 1983, Miami lost on opening day 28-3. 4 months later, they won a national championship. Temple tells us very little. Just win and move on. And then do it 11 more times.

Great stat. That is completely insane. Let's not forget too that in 2018 we were 105th in the country in punting, to go along with 84th in the country in offensive YPP and 89th in scoring. So you can't move the ball, you don't score, and when you fail at both of those and need to punt, you...

Yep. But you've got to draw the line somewhere. That's why I said it's not a perfect discussion, every game stands on its own 2 feet. The redzone defense was awful against VT last year too, but it sure doesn't help when your offense turns the ball over on its first 5 possessions of a game...

We do this thread pretty much every offseason, but I saw some stuff on Twitter and wanted to dive into some numbers on what we can hopefully expect if we get the offense a lot of us think we will with Lashlee and King. I went back and scrubbed every game since Manny has been here, and while...
