A stat I liked from yesterday

Completion percentage isn’t that impressive if youre not getting points on the board... great first game as a first time starter in that kind of environment but dink and donk style offense aren’t going to beat teams with equal or better talent. You’re going to have to take shots down field and take chances to score points

19/30 is a great completion percentage but for only 210 yards passing and 1 TD isn’t anywhere close to being good enough to win at the level we want to.

It was his FIRST game.

To add to that he never lost his cool. No matter how often he hit the ground he got back up and was tough. I think he earned a lot of respect from the team for that.

Jarrens completion percentage would have been higher had Enos just stuck to what worked on the first drive..
 
Throw The Ball Away

He'll learn that with time and experience.

The good thing is, all the things you can't teach that you either have or you don't....he appears to have.

I rewatched the game again late last night....the kid did really play well other than the plays he held the ball too long. His decision making and accuracy were that of an upperclassmen.
 
63%. That was Jarren’s completion percentage, in very difficult circumstances.

A Miami QB hasn’t gone over 60% and 200 yards against a P5 team since October 2017. Miami’s completion percentage last year (50%) was third worst in all of P5, ahead of only Rutgers and Georgia Tech.

One of the highlights of Enos’s resume is that he boosted Brandon Allen’s completion percentage by ten points at Arkansas. If the first game and the scrimmages are any indication, I expect this year to be a similar jump. And if the ball is not hitting the ground, our athletes will eventually break a tackle and make a play.

We hadn't even thrown for 200 yds & 50% since November, 2017.

I'm like you - I don't want to jump the gun too quick - but I really think JW showed he's gonna be good. I like what I saw overall.
 
New offense.

We will have a few additions - changing cadence, more capacity for chipping, and trying to get more shifts and motion pre-snap.

All these additions, and others will be added as we go on. It's a progression more than a three ring binder like Golden had.

Gators would give their left nut for Jarren.

a bit misleading - 10 sacks
This.

I would factor in his sack total when referencing his completion percentage. It's like he would only throw a pass if it was wide open. I would have liked to see our receivers given the ability to make plays.

The only blemish I can recall on JW's performance was the sack in the RZ on the first drive, needed to make a quicker decision there. Other than that I was pleased or in the very least it was expected from a Fr QB.

EDIT: The fumbles need to stop too, but when you get hit every other throw is understandable

The stat I liked was the number of fumble recoveries by Miami on both offense and defense.

Fumble recovery game was on point. Probably the best I’ve ever seen. Must have worked hard on that in practice.
 
Lets put the completion percentage into perspective.

How many throws were 15+ yards downfield? 20+ yards?

Not many...it's a bit misleading. The vast majority of his throws were near the LOS.

With that said...the kid has a bright future.
He made a number of throws in the teeth of uf defense actually
 
He was very accurate and most every throw was under duress and in a filthy pocket. Not sure how much I’d credit Enos for the completion percentage going up, as Jarren had nothing to do with last year’s abysmal percentage.

I’m still hopeful for Jarren and the offense if we can improve the Tackle situation from diarrhea to firm stool.

And Williams didn't seem to get happy feet back there which was encouraging. I'm hoping he leans on his legs a little more in future games but was happy with what I saw from a kid who really didn't get any meaningful snaps last season.

I would have been perfectly fine if it lowered because he threw the ball away a few times.
 
That one to Jordan was perfect. Their safety made a great play cause he woulda caught it.
This might be unfair to Jordan because of the level difficulty was high, but he still should've caught the ball in my opinion. If the ball hits your hands, catch it. Same goes for Jeff who covered by Henderson on his drop. Big time players make big time plays in big time games. Ours didn't Saturday night.

Glass half full view was he was accurate, didn’t throw the ball into coverage, didn’t force anything, and made some excellent throws in the middle of the field on money downs.

Glass half empty view was his pocket presence/awareness was very poor and he did not press the ball down the field much, although that was probably by design. But it does concern me somewhat that he couldn’t/didn’t get rid of the ball the 3-4 times he absolutely could have. You simply cannot run out of bounds behind the LOS. It scares me he didn’t have the simple awareness to not easily get out of a couple of very negative plays.

Not one doubt the kid has the goods, now it's time for coaches to bring it all out. He should dominate the ACC starting in two weeks. He can be a 70% passer. More gun forget that under center ****, until our line gets better. 70% gun at least.
When I say “keep a te into block”, I’m not referring to Mallory or Jordan. To me this was a game where Irvin should have been used in that role

Which ever one is the best blocker should have been in there. Not one doubt Jordan is the best catcher and probably the best blocker too. Hard to ask him to block but that probably would have been best for the team at least for this one game. I don't mean keep him blocking for every play, but they should have improvised very early on to protect Jarren. That's why the best teams wins games like this, the best coaches see a weakness and fix it fast. Let's hope these coaches get better at this quickly.
 
Mallory got destroyed whenever he tried to block. It's tough having Brevin try to block because he's our best offensive weapon. Our receivers are not as reliable as they should be. I think it's why Martell got so many snaps. We desperately need someone to emerge.
Bring in Irvin Jr to block or an extra OL...Mallory nor Jordan should be in to just block..
