All-22 Review of the Miami OL vs FSU Defense

Great stuff as usual.

It's crazy how well we we're able to run the ball that game especially to the outside but we just kept finding ways to not stick with it.

What bothers me most is that we supposedly have one of the best OL coaching staffs in the country, yet our biggest problems are fundamental mistakes. At some point, you have to hold the coaches accountable for that. We're six games into the season, and we're just now seeing guys consistently keep their shoulders square. That's basic offensive line technique, not some advanced concept that takes half a season to figure out. The difference between an average offensive line and an elite one is mastering the little details: footwork, leverage, hand placement, angles, and technique. If we're still struggling with the fundamentals this deep into the season, either the coaching isn't translating to the field or the players aren't being developed the way they should be. Either way, that's a coaching problem, and calling someone an elite OL coach means nothing if his players aren't executing the basics.

Mensah clock has to go faster and he needs to start just taking off and getting what he can vs setting us back yardage.

And just look at what Louisville did to them 9.2 yards per carry vs 5.8. Also allowed only one sack. Anyone think the Cards are world beaters?

They have a different scheme and talent than Miami has at RB, but I agree with you in principle.

There’s no reason why Miami shouldn’t have spammed outside zone from the pistol like Louisville did that entire second half.

Miami only ran it a few times.

On that first 4th down conversion that failed, FSU was so confident it was going inside that the DE to the field side came crashing in.

An outside zone run from the pistol against that look with either Mallory or Lyle (who looked great by the way) is a house call.

I don't get why they don't tag RPO's on 4th down. Miami's OL splits stack the box, then putting 4 TE's on the field (and 1 has been 'good' all year) with no slide RPO? No pop pass? Nothing?! Got in a phone booth and lost
 
I would have loved to see that heavy set play action play we used when Cam was here. Worked like a charm against VTech, Lofton or Mueller would have walked into the end zone because FSU was so confident we were running HB dive right off the guards ***.

Just let Lofton pretend to block the end and slide off him into the flat. If the end crashes the dive throw it, if he sits or runs w the TE give it.
