We know offense is running football these days.

21 teams put up over 6000 total yards in 2019.

Miami put up 4777 total yards of offense.

Here are those 21 teams and their 2019 win totals.

Total Yards and wins
1. LSU 8527 Yards (15-0)
2. Clemson 7931 Yards (14-1)
3. OU 7527 Yards (12-2)
4. OSU 7419 Yards (13-1)
5. Hawaii 7065 Yards (10-5)
6. UCF 7026 Yards (10-3)
7. Louisiana 6918 yards (11-3)
8. Memphis 6791 yards (12-2)
9. Alabama 6640 yards (11-2)
10. WSU 6568 yards (6-7)
11. SMU 6368 yards (10-3)
12. FAU 6280 yards (11-3)
13. UNC 6162 yards (7-6)
14. CMU 6070 yards (8-6)
15. Wisconsin 6065 yards (10-4)
16. App State 6064 yards (13-1)
17. Oregon 6063 yards (12-2)
18. Texas 6056 Yards (8-5)
19. WF 6032 yards (8-5)
20. Utah 6006 yards (11-3)
21. BSU 6006 yards (12-2)

So 16/21 or 76% of teams going over the 6000 yard mark on offense were 10+ win teams.

The teams who didn’t win 10 games don’t play defense. If Miami is to get over 6000 total yards and remain a top 15ish defense I’m thinking it’s going to be the year we are all expecting or hoping for (for the doubters)

Given the questions about the team and coaching can Miami put up over 6000 yards on offense in 2020?

We know scoring and points per game matters. But having the ability to drive down the field and gaining yards along the way puts you in position for FGs or TDS. So Im not focusing on PPG right now.

Topic is whether or not the University of Miami Can put 6000 total yards on the board in 2020.

Also Miami’s total offense numbers over the years:

2019 4774 Yards (6-7)
2018 4664 Yards (7-6)
2017 5243 Yards (10-3)
2016 5537 yards (9-4)
2015 5150 yards (8-5)
2014 5594 yards (6-7)
2013 5536 yards (9-4)
2012 5282 yards (7-5)
2011 4543 yards (6-6)
2010 5477 yards (7-6)
2009 5199 yards (9-4)
2008 4228 yards (7-6)
2007 3781 yards (5-7)

We haven’t even touched 6000 yards of total offense. No surprise our worst years came when we had the least amount of offensive yards.

We are hopeful that the era of offensive ineptitude is over at Miami.

So......can we finally touch 6000 and win 10 games?
What are your thoughts on why or why not?

Not with this offensive line. In order to maximize their potential, I see Scaife and Williams on the right side. That's average to above average. Gaynor is an OK college center, but nothing special.

The left hand side of the line is going to be an issue all year, and will lose its matchup against many opponents. Campbell would have to make serious strides just to be considered average. LG is a wild card. I don't know who starts there, but it will be someone unproven.

I know it's been said 1000 times before, but OL is the biggest elephant in the room and it isn't going away magically.

Move Gaynor to guard were he played his freshman year. and Scaife can play at tackle. Clarke can play center with Donaldson and Williams
at the other guard and tackle positions. That should give as decent line play and maybe 6000 yards.

Donaldson isn't fit to play. Williams is a better RT than LT. Scaife is a better RG than RT. Clarke is a better G than C. I like creativity, but there is no getting around the line's weakness by moving the pieces around like this. You're just putting guys in positions to perform sub-optimally at the individual level.

The QB and the OC are going to be scheming around the line all year.
 
I would say yes. It's really based on the number of plays we're going to run. Last year, SMU ran the ball more than Clemson and Auburn. They just didn't have players who were very explosive. King, Knighton and Harris should provide us with the explosiveness we need to average over 200 a game. I could see Miami averaging 220-230 rushing. If we did that on the same amount of carries that SMU had, we would average 5.3 yards a carry. I think the passing game will take care of itself.

We have to see how guys come back after a year of experience, plus a new scheme. I do think the OL is a weak point, but simply running more plays is going to help this offense. To me, since they want to be a uptempo, power football, playaction, they are going to put up yards and point.

Yeah those were terrible stats for that era. 2007-11.
used to be if you kept teams under 3000 total yards that was an elite defense.

06 Defense was straight.

but in this current era of football it’s pretty much about keeping teams under 3800.

Last defense to hold a team under 3k total yards was 2011 Alabama.

I’m a big fan of defense and hate the way the game has gone. I used to love watching old defensive slug fest.

The 2018 and even 2019 defenses were wasted.

**** even the late 2000s defenses with radio have been wasted.

Miami’s offensive problem has lasted far far too long.

I’d love to see us get hold teams to 3500 or less in this era.
