Proceed with caution if you've eaten lunch recently and want to keep it down.
Here are the final numbers as now every team has played their full regular-season schedule.
As always, only games vs FBS teams are factored in these numbers.
Offense:
Yards per play: 76th (5.57 YPP)
Points per game: 88th (24.6 PPG)
Passing yards per game: 49th (250.3 YPG)
Passing completion percentage: 80th (58.0%) (Williams - 62.5%, Perry 54.8%)
Passing yards per attempt: 58th (7.5 YPA) (Williams 8.2 YPA, Perry 6.8 YPA)
Passer rating: 57th (136.9) (Williams 150.98, Perry 127.27)
Rushing yards per game: 120th (109.45 YPG)
Rushing yards per attempt: 114th (3.52 YPA)
Sacks given up per game: 127th (4.27 per game)
3rd down conversion %: 130th (25.18%) -- A little context here: Miami's mark of 25.18% not only ranks dead last in the entire country this year, but only 1 team has been worse over the past 4 seasons. Charlotte in 2017 finished the year at 24.5%. So Miami's 25.18% was the worst in 2019, and would have been the worst in 2018 and 2016 as well. Just historically putrid. Also, the team at 129th this year (Akron, who went 0-12) finished at 26.38%. So they were 1.2% higher than Miami. If they'd play another game today, and went 0-7 on 3rd downs, they'd STILL be higher than Miami.....aka, we're worst in the country and it's literally not even close.
4th down conversion %: 68th (52.17% -- 12 for 23)
TFLs allowed per game: 121st (7.73 per game)
Red Zone TD %: 107th (50% TD rate, 23 TDs in 46 chances)
Red Zone Scoring %: 121st (33 scores in 46 chances) -- So in 11 FBS games, we got into the redzone 13 different times and scored 0 points. LOL.
Field goal %: 107th (12 out of 20) -- Camden Price went 6/7 on FGs and 18/18 on XP's. One can wonder if this season would have gone differently had he been the kicker since Week 1.
PAT %: 98th (38 out of 40)
Defense:
Yards per play allowed: 16th (4.85 YPP)
Points per game allowed: 30th (22.6 PPG)
Passing yards per game allowed: 36th (209.0 YPG)
Passing completion percentage allowed: 25th (56.1%)
Passing yards per attempt: 41st (7.0 YPA)
Passer rating allowed: 35th (124.58)
Rushing yards per game allowed: 14th (114.09 YPG)
Rushing yards per attempt allowed: 12th (3.10 YPA)
Sacks per game: 4th (3.73 sacks per game)
3rd down % allowed: 53rd (38.6% allowed)
4th down % allowed: 121st (70.59% allowed)
TFLs per game: 4th (8.64 per game)
Red Zone td % allowed: 15th (50% allowed -- 17 TDs in 34 chances)
Red Zone Scoring % allowed: 82nd (83.3% allowed -- 29 scores in 34 chances)
Punting: 31st (43.8 Yard average)
Team Stats:
Penalties: 112th (7.2 penalties per game)
Penalty yards: 101st (61.1 Yards per game)
Turnover margin: 35th (0.36 per game -- 18 takeaways, 14 giveaways)
Time of possession: 70th (29:54 per game)
Number of offensive plays: 106th
Takeaways:
Once again, Miami was failed miserably by its absolutely abysmal offense. This team has MANY issues, and the defense isn't anywhere near as good as we expect it to be with the talent on that side, the continuity with the staff, and the schedule we play. It was not a great defense. But it was absolutely FAILED by how bad this offense was, once again. It's like groundhog day around here. No matter who the kids are, no matter who the coaches are, the University of Miami is just incapable of picking up 3rd downs. Why? Dead last this year, 59th last year, 127th in 2017, 106th in 2016, 96th in 2015, 81st in 2014, 104th in 2013....what the **** is happening here? All off-season, all we said was "If we can just punt the football and play decent offense, we should walk to 10 wins". Welp...we learned how to punt. But we traded that off with the inability to make a kick if Baxa or Davidson's lives depended on it. And then about that hopefully decent offense...wow. They did literally NOTHING well. Not one single aspect of the offense was even good nationally, nevermind excellent. We can't run the ball, we can't throw the ball, we can't score points, we can't pick up 3rd downs, we can't block a god**** soul, we can't score in the redzone, we can't move the ball period, and when we get close, we can't make a kick. Jesus Christ. I can argue that this offense was WORSE than last year. I don't think anyone thought that was humanly possible in the summer. But, here we are. I'm not sure what else to say.....the only possible silver lining I can see here is that Jarren Williams looked really good at times, but not nearly good enough. And the offense is incredibly young and almost everyone is back. But this is a fireable offense for Dan Enos, period. You have to try to be this terrible with Miami level talent playing teams like Georgia Tech and FIU and Duke and UNC.
As far as the defense, I'm sure I'll get some blowback here because as I mentioned above, it was certainly far from great. But there are at least some things the defense was really good at. Top 10 nationally again in sacks, in TFLs, very good defense against the run, very good defense in the redzone (15th nationally and that includes a 6/6 game against VT)…..at least there are some things here they do/did very, very well. Unfortunately, holding late game leads is not one of them. The defense blew FAR too many leads late in games this year. But when you look at the totality of the season, it's uncanny just how similar it was to last year. Good to very good defense, horrible special teams, horrible offense. Just mind-boggling when you look at where we were at this point last year, all calling for Richt's head, saying literally anyone could do better than he did....he leaves, we get a guy for $1M a year who was set to be the OC at Alabama...……….and he's literally the exact same guy. Same problems, same ineptitude. Just baffling how literally NOTHING changed from this year from last except we traded punting woes for FG woes. Absolutely amazing.
