• The Canes’ bowl win helped them with two four-star prospects, according to Canesport.com.

Four-star Miramar safety Brian Edwards, rated the 21st best safety and 219th best player overall by Rivals, said UM’s win helps their chances. He will visit UM Jan. 20 and UF Jan. 27; he’s also considering California, Louisville and Oregon.

Meanwhile, four-star Maryland based running back Anthony McFarland told Canesport.com that UM’s bowl win also helps their chances. He’s down to UM and Maryland, and UM is very optimistic about its chance.

“I’m sure everyone knows how much I love Miami,” McFarland told Canesport.

• Here’s how College Football Focus rated UM players for the bowl win:

Top offensive grades:

RG Tyler Gauthier, 76.2

TE David Njoku, 75.4

WR Ahmmon Richards, 71.3

C Alex Gall, 70.9

WR Malcolm Lewis, 68.9

Says CFF: “TE David Njoku submitted another performance that should have NFL teams taking notice and true freshman WR Ahmmon Richards provided further evidence that he’s ready to lead the receiving group in 2017 and beyond. Richards displayed elite speed and agility weaving through traffic on a dig route to get the Hurricanes on the board midway through the second quarter. Njoku stiff-armed his way around the initial defender on a screen pass, raced 25 yards down the right sideline, and dove over another defender to reach the end zone to put Miami ahead by 21 in the third quarter.”

Top defensive grades:

FS Rayshawn Jenkins, 86.2

ED Joe Jackson, 83.2

SS Jaquan Johnson, 82.7

RCB Adrian Colbert, 79.9

WLB Zach McCloud, 79.5

Says CFF: “The Miami defense had an answer for everything the West Virginia coaching staff threw at them. The Hurricanes limited Mountaineers running backs to 2.4 yards per attempt and much of that success came from the work of edge rusher Joe Jackson (83.0 run-defense grade). FS Rayshawn Jenkins posted the highest overall grade by a safety from all 2016 bowl games played to date thanks to earning an 87.7 pass-coverage grade.”

Y'all keep focusing on the OL photo shoot from last year.

Next year, Gall will be on an NFL roster. He's smart and nasty, which is a great combo for NFL O-Linemen.
 
Until I rewatched the game, I honestly had no clue Gauthier was such a menace. It was a master class in guard play. Very encouraging.
 
Gall helped himself by moving to center this year. As a G/C, he has a real good shot at getting an NFL roster spot. Good luck to him!

Agree. I think the whole line changed when he started playing

Why didnt the staff realize that Gall was so much better than Linder? If that injury never takes place, Gall never gets any meaningful PT

He's been a huge surprise to me. He's actually had a few games where he played very well.
 
I remember back when we signed Gall. Some writer at 247 said that he regularly looked for 3 star prospects who were "high 3 stars" as the most likely recruits to outperform their then ranks. That year Gall was one of maybe 4 guys he identified. I expected at least solid things, and I hoped his recruitment would get us into Cincinnati Moeller for future recruiting.
 
If these guys were playing so well, why couldn't we open up more holes for the runners?

I wonder how much of the injury affected Linder because he didn't seem to be that bad of a player in previous years.
