Sackman Sackman Sackman Sackman!
Coach Kool,Chad,and Quan Muhammad up to something.

I find that interesting though. Probably corresponds with the turnover margin.
 
Can't wait to finally start seeing sacks on a regular basis like a Miami defense should be doing!
 
I wonder what the percentage is for Diaz specifically when his team wins the sack margin battle.
 
This makes it even harder to understand why Golden didn't put emphasis on his D-Linemen getting in the backfield.
 
it makes a lot of sense. if you cant put pressure on a QB you cant disrupt the offense. the canes have been one of the worst teams in the acc at pressuring the QB. any QB at the d-1 level will roast a defense if they can just sit back in the pocket all day long and pick dandelions.

Because Golden and D'Onofrio believed in the low risk, "bend, don't break" approach to defense - quite literally it was sit back, wait for the play, react and then make a tackle. Their only objective was to "never give up big plays" - a quote we heard many times from both of them. As it turns out, we didn't give up big plays - we gave up big drives that went 12-14 plays and took 8 minutes off the clock. Defense gets tired/frustrated and the crowd goes quiet.

It's hard for me to get flustered, but watching teams like Louisville, Cincinnati, Duke and GT march up-and-down the field on us at will with 5 yard plays was infuriating - they knew the conservative system we ran and used it against us.

I think they saw playing the game with their bodies/skill. They didn't get the memo that Miami has thoroughbreds and not clydesdales.
 
It's nice to have two alphas in charge of the defense. That's all I have to say about that.

That's almost a shocking stat, when you consider how we TRIED not to go after the QB in recent years. More than 3/4 of the time... Just wow.
