If those numbers come to fruition, our defense turned to trash in both the projected losses.
Those are bigtime numbers. Rooting for it.
*looks around*
*looks around some more*
…..I was just tempering expectations. If he puts those numbers up we ain't losing to anyone not named Clemson.....
But seriously though, Buchele put up 4000 total yards and 36 TDs. And he doesn't run. I expect King to have less pass attempts than Buchele's 490, but significantly more rushing attempts.
4325 total yards in 14 games is 309 a game. I think that's an attainable number.
Another thing to keep in mind, not only is King vastly superior to any QB we've had in a very, very long time, but the offense Lashlee runs will provide more opportunity for high output. I know most of us know this, but until you look at these numbers in lights, it's hard to fully understand not only how bad we were on offense for the better part of the last decade, but how slow we were to boot. These are number of plays run and our rank. Now, it's not plays per game. So it's not exact. But it's total number of offensive plays run for the season:
2019 -- 91st
2018 -- 98th
2017 -- 89th
2016 -- 96th
2015 -- 84th
2014 -- 104th
2013 -- 104th
2012 -- 104th (nothing if not consistent)
2011 -- 120th (Dead last)
2010 -- 19th (Whipple Year 2)
2009 -- 36th (Whipple Year 1)
So, even if you want to be a little apprehensive about Miami's efficiency on offense, you have to admit we're going faster, if nothing else. And there are certainly causes for pause about the efficiency. But again, if you're running a lot more plays, you can have increased production. And let's not forget, Malik Rosier had 3600 total yards in only 13 games in 2017, while running the 89th most plays in the country.
