he's been beat up this season. i'm guessing it will linger the rest of the year unfortunately- hopefully it doesn't get worse. but i doubt it'll be long term, he should be able to get healthy over the offseason.Is Jarren’s shoulder soreness a lingering effect from injury earlier in the season? I am a little concerned about his long-term health in the shoulder.
I agree, Bolden seemed to add some speed to the secondary when he was in there.lack of speed and overall athleticism isn’t there without bubba bolden. Want to see Keontra smith play more because he brings those qualities we need there
The scary part is that we still have not seen the whole offense! There are so many different combos and options that we will see in the future.You ever had neapolitan ice cream? It's called one thing. But if you eat all the way to the left it's chocolate or all the way to the right it's strawberry?
Sure it's the SaMe OfFeNse DAwG but he wasn't as under center.. rarely used 12 set.. didn't feature a full back, never ran 13 set, all red zone touchdowns were from shotgun, had a #2 wr outside the hash, had 20 set two halfback personnel, and seemed to be even more reliant on the rpo this week.
This, completely agree. Wish we would have done that throughout the whole year.All the RPOs ran out of those particular formations really did remind me of last years Bama offense. Williams was working those RPO slants/posts just like Tua did. I loved the shotgun two RB look and the shotgun pistol look as well. Seemed like everything worked from those sets.
I watch the defense too. Credit Louisville they run an aggressive zone style system that has chunked up many acc foes this year. They average 212 a game.
Some misfit gaps this week.
Some miscommunication.
Literally saw an example where a 3 play scoring drive was highlighted by giving up the EXACT same play twice.
And let's not kid ourselves. They have incredible amounts of speed on that team. No ofense to our guys but their qb hb and tutu combo was the fastest I saw on film all year. Qb was faster than any of ours. Rb looked faster than ours. And tutu was the fastest guy on the field
Just a combination of many things this week.
He's the whistleblower but they're not allowed to say his name. So they just show him.LOL. I was wondering why the **** they kept showing this dude over and over and over again for minutes at a time.
This is the truth.lack of speed and overall athleticism isn’t there without bubba bolden. Want to see Keontra smith play more because he brings those qualities we need there
It’s a simple game what the defense will give you. Speed and spacing make the plays bigger, when a mismatch of athletic ability is exposed.All the RPOs ran out of those particular formations really did remind me of last years Bama offense.

How many times have we ever scored 35 points against an fbs team in 1 half
Agreed, BUT the way Jarren and his WRs (Harley and Wiggins) we’re executing it was as good as it could get. That’s why I said it reminded me of last year’s Bama cause it looked like I was watching Tua throw to Juedy. Still blown away watching Wiggins run by that DB so fast that he lost sight of him. The route running has been executed at a high level too.It’s a simple game what the defense will give you. Speed and spacing make the plays bigger, when a mismatch of athletic ability is exposed.
I think many of us lost sight of the fact that this is a completely new offensive staff with a completely new offensive system. Add to the fact that the O is very young trying to not only learn a new system but new techniques from new coaches. Lots of new things to learn and get used to.I watch a ton of football every week.....one thing that's been really encouraging to me is Miami is starting to look -- dare I say it -- well coached on the offensive side of the ball. I never in a million years thought I could even dream of typing that sentence about 6 weeks ago, but you have to admit it. There have been VERY few illegal formations, pre-snap penalties, confusion, delay of games, illegal motions, miscommunications.....and Miami runs MULTIPLE formations and personnel packages. Guys are getting into and out of the game, there's not a lot of pre-snap panic, people are lined up correctly, we seem to be running the right routes for the most part, the line looks to be much improved if in no other area than their communication and cohesion.
I'm not saying we should throw a ticker-tape parade or anything...there's still a long way to go here and we all know that. But it's encouraging, at least. The first few weeks it looked very much like an offense that was struggling to find an identity and was very confused and unsure of itself. Free rushers, penalties, confusion, burning timeouts in inopportune times....the first few weeks looked like we didn't even practice. And while I won't say it now looks like a well-oiled machine, with how loudly the crying was on here that everyone should be fired immediately in September, you have to at least say it looks like the coaches have some semblance of a clue and the kids are really improving on at least the building-blocks level. Very encouraging to see.
