well, all good things have to and and it seemingly rang midnight for these Cinderella Canes and specifically for Malik Rosier. Some quick hitters:
- Yeah, as horrible as 12 was throughout(and once again he missed throws/reads) all over, I didn't agree with benching him for Sherriffs - but at the same time I understood it - Rosier was Kirby Freeman-esque this game. The problem is it's not like we had Don Strock(as Franchise would say) coming out of the bullpen, either. But for much of the year Rosier made a few big/key plays and he was hidden by an opportunistic defense. Today, it just wasn't there.
It doesn't help that many times you simply cant hide him behind a running game because that Oline once again got controlled at the point of attack and couldn't open up running lanes for Homer or Dallas. It was an awful performance for that unit.
But I do think(and again, just my opinion) the QB job will be open in the spring and N'Kosi Perry will be given every opportunity to put his name in the mix
- Biggest sequence to me was after taking a 7-3 lead and creating a turnover, Rosier misses a wide-open Berrios on an out pattern on third down that would've not only moved the chains but gotten the Canes into scoring position. Those are passes that simply have to be completed at this level.
- The only one who struggled worse than Rosier was Zach Feable. Seriously, how was this guy a high school All-American? I can't remember a more weak-legged punter at Miami?
- Overall, once again another bad outing by the special teams. Coach Hartley is Dave Arnold-esque. Yeah, that bad on all the units.
- Defensively, they gave in late but they were left on the field a lot. But the lack of holding calls is getting comical. There was one on Trent Harris in the red-zone that was a ridiculous non-call. But in the first half while they lost contain too many times and honestly were getting knocked back by ball carriers for much of the day. But again, they didn't have much help from the offense.
- Well, it was a horrible ending to what was a fun regular season. 10-1, ACC Coastal, top 10 ranking. At the beginning of the year I think we all would've taken that. But you see just how far this program has to go. Still have to address the Oline, QB and special teams. Depth will come with this incoming recruiting class but this afternoon was a buzzkill and a dose of reality. I honestly dont see Miami beating Clemson but regardless, see you guys in Charlotte next week.
This team and program under Richt came a long ways this season but today showed they still have a ways to go.
