It all Falls Apart From One MAJOR and Two MINOR Issues

I don't really think we are that deficient in coaching, schemes, talent, execution, etc. as the chicken littles here want to make me believe. I only see one (obvious) major problem, and two smaller problems - that cause everything else to look worse than it is.

First the minor things: 1) Egregiously bad officiating. Not gonna harp on this too much because we should be used to it and its never going away - we will always have to beat our opponents and the refs. But take away the usual ***** job we get from the zebras and the game is at least close. 2) The worst punter in UM history. A punter that was JUST AVERAGE and the subsequent effect on field position would have hugely changed the complexion of this game - again making it at least closer.

And the (DUH) major thing is Rosier. If he hits half of the receivers that he overthrows or misses running wide open, 1) drives would be sustained just by those plays in and of themselves, 2) the run game would open up, improving our offensive output, 3) field position wouldn't be tilted against us so badly, 4) the defense would be better rested, needing less help from weak backups. If he was even mildly accurate, suddenly the offensive scheme doesn't look so bad, the defensive scheme doesn't look so bad. Every facet of the game suffers, and every unit and coach looks worse than they are when they are handicapped by a quarterback that can't move the offense and sustain drives with wide open receivers.

The only thing I really fault Richt with is a) not having the balls to change quarterbacks, or if balls isn't the problem b) not recruiting or coaching up a QB good enough to unseat Rosier.

The O-line is GOOD ENOUGH. The first team Defense and scheme are GOOD ENOUGH. Put a semi-competent QB under center and we are all crowing instead of crying today.

yup.

Without a QB, it's really hard to evaluate anything else. Richt had better solve the problem ASAP.
 
We have a pretty solid DC - but the rest are garbage.

Hartley is the worst ST coach we've ever had. He brings nothing to the table with STs.
And Richt is way past his prime (and he wasn't a great OC in his prime either).

He's a HC/QB coach. Either hire a Mike Bobo type to run the Richt-style offense, or bring in an outsider to run their own **** (which rarely works).

We've got an offensive minded HC, and yet it's our worst unit. That's never a good sign.

Look at every other successful program right now. If their HC is a defensive guy then generally speaking that's the strength of the team. And vice versa.
 
Richt is biggest issue because it all starts with him. If he cant be bothered with special teams and the defense because he wants to run his **** scheme on offense while not getting a legit qb ready in year 3 then nothing else matters. Its not only about the shanking punts, on the first punt him shanking it saved the punt from being blocked by an unblocked man coming directly up middle while there was no punt block on. LOL. This is high school level ****ery.

Who recruits a 4-10 high school kicker? Even corch O who we laughed at all offseason went and found the best lower level kicker he could get his hands on, he didnt depend on some less than 50% high school freshman. Who is in competition With the punter, did you hear anything about Fecals being pushed in competition all offseasn? We arent even doing fundamentals well. I dont even know our identity on offense, we are just a chuck it up and pray offense that hopes to outathlete the opponent.
 
Watch the play calls on offense. It is always the same run, same pre snap movement (rb goes from behind QB to next to him), all the outside receivers going deep, and either a RB or TE as a checkdown near the line.

Every single time, just like Aranda said there is only deep passes or checkdowns, there is no intermediate passes.

Yet, there were guys open that Rosier missed, and an average quarterback probably wouldn't have. And imagine if Rosier was good enough to find and hit the open guy, would the scheme stay that simple? I don't think so.

No QB man. I swear some of ya'll just don't get it. If the QB can't hit WR when they are open, it doesn't matter what routes you run. We had guys open. Our QB missed them again and again.

So the play call scheme is staying that simple because of Rosier? I thought we couldn't use another QB because they don't have experience and don't know the offense? If you are playing Rosier because of his experience and knowledge you better be using every single play you have

Exactly. Richt might not help the situation all that much with his system, but at some point the QB has to hot receivers. Even the completions were bad throws a lot of the time.

Again, what does it matter when the QB can't complete throws? How is a different route or play gong to fix that problem?

Different plays can't magically force #12 to complete his throws.

Oh trust me Rosier is the #1 problem, and he is probably the most inaccurate QB I have ever seen. But let's not act like plays will change with another QB because it was the same with Kaaya. 90% of the plays since the beginning of Richt's tenure calling plays are all deep routes and a checkdown same thing since year 1 with Kaaya. 3rd and 3 and they are all going deep, that is never going to equal good 3rd down conversions. At the end of the day regardless of QB that needs to change.

Rosier can’t throw intermediate passes. That and the middle of the field just isn’t challenged. Sick of it, really. I don’t care if Rosier is smarter than Albert Einstein, and knows more about football than anyone that has ever lived. It doesn’t matter if he can’t play QB.

Kaaya had a QB rating of 150.3 in 2016 which is the 3rd best season ever by a QB at Miami.
 
Weird officiating - On their first TD they had a big pass play, the receiver was ruled out at the one, but on the replay he got into the end zone ok, but dropped the pass as he was going down to the ground. Not reviewed, it would have been advantageous to us.

Later on, another pass play near our end zone, the receiver caught the ball out of bounds. This was reviewed, even though if it was complete, they we would get the ball at the same point as the original line of scrimmage. Weird.

Complexity is mostly overrated IMO, Mike Leach's TT offense was permutations on 5-7 plays, it worked because of execution and because it is designed in a way where you are always going to have an opening if the offense does everything right.

Peak Oregon was a very simple offense.
 
I told a bunch of people that officiating would be bad, and its always worse for Miami. Those officials aren't game ready doing a few practice games - they don't have a pre-season like the pros. Plus, they seemed to want to use Miami plays to illustrate all the new rules for the college football audience.

How about that facemask on 4th late in the game? " Good Non-call" the announcer says. Really? He gets drug by the facemark and its a good non call. And did I hear him say they couldn't determine who had the fumble early on the play we lost #8 for head shot? Or how about the bobble on the TD they didn't review - but did the Miami sideline catch.

But I disagree, our O-line was so bad LSU showed blitz all night and still ran by them.

The punting is actually a major problem for Miami right now. Our defense wasn't great, but they weren't 33 points bad either. Our defense whether it was Malik turning the ball over, or Feagles shanking a punt had to start defending at mid-field rather than deep into LSU's territory.

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯I said the same thing last night. They used us to display all of the technicalities of the rules. They reviewed all of our positive plays to overturn them and had huddles after plays which had no flags, in order to come up with calls to negate them, and often found something. This is all old news and we have to account for it regardless.
