I was literally just talking to a few of my coaching buddies about this today...one of which just won Broward County Head Coach of the Year last season and had the #2 ranked offense in all of South Florida. (at a school with inferior talent)
We all agreed that the spread is what's actually helping Miami run the ball right now. If we lined-up in Pro-Style (21 pesonnel) with this O-line we wouldn't be able to run the ball at all. Defenses would load the box and we don't have the talent up-front to push them around. Being in the spread has forced defenses to play 2-high coverage which leaves them with only 5 or 6 defenders in the box. It also has allowed us to isolate Yearby with Linebackers.
Until we play FSU and they go cover-1 and send 5, or go zone (but their underneath defenders pattern-match) and get pressure with 4. Still, we have no choice to operate out of spread formations.
Scary part is, our WRs have not shown the ability to separate...other than Coley LULZ. If they don't show it against that awful secondary of Nebraska's (they suck), then I see no reason why certain Coastal teams wouldn't roll the dice on defense against us (leave their scary **** and start sending pressure). In-fact, Tenuta over at Virginia loves to send blitzes and our offense stunk against them.
Yup. Spot on dude.
If I'm looking at Miami's offense right now I'm going single-high. WR's haven't shown any ability to separate from coverage.
Reminds me of FSU 2010
