Just rewatched the game and....

You have nailed it completely. Team came out unmotivated...typical fSU hangover... can't make all of the mistakes we're making & win. 4 out of 15 3rd downs converted, blocked FG, fumble, can't get running game going due to OL...Sonny out on OL....2 defensive injuries in 2nd half + Willis out.

While the play calling was not perfect, the real glaring issue was our unbelievable lack of focus and execution. Time after time, this team put itself in awful positions due to penalties, dropped passes, missing wide open throws, and whiffing on blocks. Our O line sucks and the play calling is not imaginative, but the real coaching issue lies with our fundamental lack of discipline and inability to execute simple freaking plays.

This is a brand new offensive scheme from a brand new coach. Do we all really think they would just pick it up and execute it perfectly in year one? We are not a Alabama or Ohio State, we just don't have the talent to make those types of adjustments that quick.

We love the team. People were wondering if Brad would go pro at the end of this season. People were relieved that Coley stayed instead going pro. The truth is that UM's talent is thin, and talent is measured by more than speed in the 40 or ability to bench press. Football success is often a question of intangibles. Kaaya and Coley don't seem to possess those intangibles. Add to that a weak OL, and this season is at best 8-4, more likely 7-5. On a positive note, UM's freshmen LBs and the DL are the nucleus of a great defense. Manny was full of energy after the goal line stance, much more so than Richt who appeared locked into his headphones. Coach Kool is the real deal. Once UM has the right DBs, the defense will be tops. Heck, they only gave up 20 to FSU and UNC. Just need the right offense to execute Richt's game plan.

Nothing wrong with the DBs . We will badly miss Corn, Jenkins and Carter

All the good offenses execute perfectly and have Hall of Famers at every position.

Remember when the mantra was "Our players are in position to tackle, but they're not making plays. Coach Donofrio can't make the tackles for them."?

Richt is failing to take advantage of mismatches he can create with his offense. The OL is sub par but there is no reason to not get the ball to Coley, Richards, Njoku, and Herndon. Walton and Yearby are solid receivers out of the backfield as well.

Apparently Walton getting 53 carries for 164 yards, with a long run of 14 yards is the staple of this offense since conference play started.

Maybe Richt needs more 'him' plays to his playmakers because 'his' offense is not working, and trending downward.

We'll just miss Elder. The other two aren't Miami calibre.

“We couldn’t keep that guy from coming around the edge,” Richt said.

How about Gus Edwards or M. Williams on a chip block? Did this have to go on all game?

Gus Edwards? The big guy who shies away from contact? Hahaha.

Not saying the play calling is great, but go watch the game again and you will be sick at how often we shoot ourselves in the foot. I'm so **** tired of having a team that is weak mentally, and can't seem to get the little things right. Stupid play after stupid play......****

A mentally weak team doesn't continuing to step up and stop their O when their own offense is ****ting the bed.

You can make all the excuses you want, these last 2 loses were on 1 person, Mark Richt. If we still had James ****ing Coley as our offensive coordinator we would be 6-0. And guess what, Coley is not a good OC, that tells you how bad our head man has been.

Yes it does. And no one on the offense was immune, it was across the board. How can you watch that game and not notice an offsides, a dropped pass, a missed block, a pass behind the receiver that messed up almost every drive. And you expect Richt to open it up when we struggle with the basics. And how easily you forget the similar disappearances that Coley's offense had over the last two years. There's no guarantee we'd win. And as everyone has cited since FSU, his offenses routinely failed us when it was critical, and both of the past two years it collapsed down the stretch.

Often times we'd make an acrobatic play. It would make you feel that physically we're capable. Yet at those crucial points, when mental toughness (or lack thereof) is most noticeable, one of the above happens. We playing as if we expect to ***** up. And after the run from Coker to Shannon to Golden of players being thrown under the bus, it deeply entrenched in the psyche of this team ... and its fans.

South Florida put up 35 with relative ease on FSU. I find it hard to believe from top to bottom they have better athletes than we do.

This "style" of offense we're running just doesn't seem to fit our personnel. I think the thing holding this offense back is not what Kaaya's doing, but what he's not capable of doing instead. A lot changes if he can avoid minor pressure, get outside the pocket, and make a throw or run for a first down on 3rd and 4. He can't do that. He folds up like a **** lawn chair instead, jogs off the field, then we punt.

How did South Florida score 35 on FSU? Their QB ran 18 times for 159 yards . If Kaaya had 159 for the whole season we'd be 6-0.

Go back and watch the game without your fanboy/crybaby pants on. Play calling could be better, but who gives a **** what the play calling is when you can't block or catch. Doesn't matter at that point.

People say put him in the gun and let him throw it. So now you want to be one dimensional with a trash oline and receivers who drop 5 passes/game? Couple that with not a lick of running ability out of the gun and then you'll be complaining about something else. you should probably stop watching the game if it upsets you so much.

We run the ball more effectively out of the gun, in up tempo. This is pretty clear.

And trubinsky missed a lot of passes. Difference is they keep attacking in that system.

Our defense is just so much better than UNCs defense though. UNC could drop 60 on their own defense. Richt dropped 13
 
I've never rewatched a game Miami lost.

Couldn't think of a good reason to do it.

Still can't....
