How much better will the offense be this year?

Ok after extensive research here goes

With Tate 37.235
With Perry 28.116 if he takes time to make a porno instead of watching tape 16.45
With Jarren 32.643

Now if Enos puts Tate in a shotgun add 6.348 to his percentage

QB production, dropped passes, and playcalling were our primary weaknesses on offense last year. I fully expect each of those have been addressed.

Our biggest strength right now is stealth. Everyone sees Diaz and thinks he's Richt reincarnated because he was Richt's DC. I think we will seriously exceed expectations and I like our chances to run the table to the ACCCG.

In case you think that's just seeing things through fan glasses, it's not. It comes from conversations with fans of other teams. We are seriously underestimated in their eyes.

Agreed on dropped passes. They were as bad a O Line play. Surpassed only by punt game.

If Miami is only 10% better in yardage then the offense is likely failing/avg coastal. That would be a failing grade for Enos.

I don’t think Miami’s offense depends on the OL, even though the OL will be better. Because most ACC defenses were below average. Every ACC team Miami plays this year except UVA was near horrible last year. GT*, #43; UNC, #72; FSU, #76; Duke, #79; Pitt, #95; VT, #97

*their offense was their defense. They just keep the opposing offense on the sidelines.

Enos may have been selected by Saban, but that doesn't make him a magician. I fully believe we will see last years team take the field with moderate improvements during the year. Just because fans WANT to double last years production, doesn't mean it will happen. I know people act like Richt could not have been a worse OC, but the 2019 season is about to show us exactly how he was.

How tall was that little shrimp from BC with the Hail Mary (one hit wonder) Flootie? He never thanked the U for helping him get a real job.

It sounds funny, but with our rb depth it could have gotten us yardage out of 20 personnel.

Especially with the qbs struggling so bad.

Richt called it near the end of the year and it surprised me. Wish he had developed it more.

Richt himself couldnt chit the bed worse than he did last year if you asked him to do it all over again. Some mix of luck, discipline, effort, third downs, special teams, field position and less obvious calling will help immensely. Maturity for skill position guys will hep also. Add in materially improved scheme and actually good play calling, and we should be fine on offense, even with an inexperienced QB and questionable OL. Impossible to guess yet but I would expect a competent offense, sme big plays, and way better play calling and game management.

If Special teams had been better last year we probably would've won a few more games...hopefully no more negative yardage punts.

I could not disagree more. There are several examples of teams being significantly better on offense in year 1, simply because the right person was brought in as the OC. Look at what Briles did at Houston and FAU in year one. Mullen in year 1 at UFag, Norm Chow at USC,...the list goes on and on. The one person that I didn't even mention is the one who's the most relevant example, which is Enos himself. Look at the differences in the offense's in the previous year and year one of each one of Enos's stops. The offenses and the QB's were SIGNIFICANTLY better. So, why again, should we expect him to do anything less at Miami?

I'm not a troll. I've been on 247 sports & Scout for more than a decade. Your moderators should be able to view my ip and confirm that what I say is true.

I participate in an annual college football pool and I am considering taking Miami with one of my picks. I figured you guys would be able to provide feedback on the chances for your program this season.

This forum has real issues when discussion of your football team is considered "trolling".

This right here just about sums it up. When you factor in our elite skill position talent & tight ends, we're gonna see some fireworks, baby. Watch some Enos tape from his time as the OC at Arkansas. Jordan & Mallory are gonna torch defenses this year.

6.0 YPP vs FBS teams should be the goal. It's not great, but it's a clear improvement from last season, and I think it's attainable.

6.0 YPP gets you pretty much into the top third of the country. That number usually comes in around 35th to 40th year after year.

In 2018, Miami averaged 5.44 YPP against FBS teams, which was good for 84th in the country. Getting that up to about 6.0 will be a welcomed sight, and if that happens, Miami should be a pretty good bet to win at least 9 games this season. Just for historical reference, here's the YPP numbers over the past few years:

2018 -- 5.44 (84th)
2017 -- 6.06 (34th)
2016 -- 6.24 (30th)
2015 -- 5.86 (44th)
2014 -- 6.69 (10th) *Duke Johnson was pretty good*
2013 -- 6.52 (15th)
2012 -- 6.44 (15th)
2011 -- 6.06 (29th)
2010 -- 5.82 (35th)

I wouldn't be so sure. Richt coaching Miami this year had a real possibility of 8 or more losses. Obviously (and thankfully) we will never know, but Miami would be set up very differently right now if those fatefull days in December never happen.

His implosion last season will be studied for years to come.

He'll expand the playbook by at least 50%--he'll add at least two new plays to it.

Seriously, it can't get any worse. He'll add less predictable plays and will have a bigger, more diverse repertoire.

Our quarterbacking will be improved...it has to be, even if N'kosi is the starter.

What game did we use the triple option?
