Key Stats Heading into UNC

Penalties have been brutal. Against tech the George penalty was a brutal drive killer on our early drive that was going well. He put us behind the chains. Yeah yeah he got punched well guess won’t don’t be selfish. The second guy gets caught always. He’s a junior. He’s gotta be better.

Flaggs taunting was a brutal call but still. You play for Miami. You have to know you’re not a “good catholic boy notre dame player”. Need to be better.

penalties and turnovers made this a close game. We dominated those engineers

We have played 5 running backs they have a total 6 receptions for the season
Three TE's have played so far this season and they have a total of 5 receptions and 1 td so far this season
Robby Washington, Isiah Horton, Tyler Harrell, Ray Ray, and Brashard Smith have a total of 23 receptions which is 2 more than Young, same amount as George, and 13 receptions less than Restrepo.
Any receiver over 5 catches averages less that 16 YPC

Basically there is no threat over the middle. There is no threat out of the backfield in the passing game. 73% of the passes thrown so far this season have gone to 3 receivers.
 
Penalties don't mean **** when we get called all the time for things that aren't penalties. There is literally nothing we could realistically do to fix that at this point.
Idk about that. Opening drive we are moving the ball. JG is fighting the DB out of bounds and we get a personal foul. Instead of 1st and ten at their 40, it’s 1st and 25 at our own side. We probably score on that opening drive and the whol game can look different.

Not arguing that the penalties at the game were terrible, but all 4 games we have made a lot of fixable penalties.
 
Anyone have targets not just catches?

Riley for example has at least a couple targets that he has dropped.
Harrell is another that has been targeted but only once on a deep route and his underneath routes aren't great looking.
RBs just aren't getting many targets and we aren't rotating much at WR to get Ray Ray, Washington, and Horton a ton of targets.

Why was he doing that? Is it because he got punched the play before? Would you have him just take the abuse?

Any player or coach will tell you the retaliation is what gets flagged. The first instance never gets flagged and is often missed by refs. The get back should be making a play on him. That’s an unfortunate truth for any team
 
Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.

Here is a look of some key stats for Miami heading into the match up with UNC.

Red Zone D (48th)

3rd Down D (58)
Turnover Margin (51st)
****Penalty Yards per Game (116th) !!!***


Couple things stand out. Rush defense has been phenomenal. Pass yards allowed is almost a by product of how good the rush D has been. Collectively, that unit has been top ten in the country. They have been put in some terrible spots in big games with short field position.

With that, the red zone defense needs to improve. Same with offense. Where are too good at the LOS to not be more efficient.

The passing offense has been good. Despite a tough start to GT, we have been very efficient. A top 12 rushing attack with a top 25 passing attacking should equal success.

The unfortunate elephant in the room, despite great numbers for yards and efficiency, critical areas in the game are hurting our team as evident on Saturday. 1st, penalties. There is no excuse to be ranking 116 in the country in penalty yards per game. They are drive killers on offense and bail outs on defense. That was the theme on Saturday Vs GT.


Turnover margin and sacks on D. We have been relatively good in TFL, but our DL has too much talent to be 49th. We haven’t played great o lines. Even if teams are scheming to get the ball out quicker, we need to finish and get sacks. 10 yard loss are killers for a drive. Especially when we are able to hold teams to 4.5 yards per play. Turnovers speak for themselves. TVD and the receivers have to improve and get on the same page. Defense has been good with interceptions, but would like to see me forced fumbles. Don’t think we have seen one. A lot of that is getting a lot of guys to the ball and being physical.

Despite all that, the numbers are still impressive. Schedule will get tougher and interesting to see how this shakes. Let’s hope for some improvements in those tough areas (penalties) and consistency with others.

UNC will be a great test and on paper and I think we should be able to have plenty of success.

It actually started with B Smith and a hand to the facemask. Then #10 punched George. Then George blocked him to around 3yards out of bounds with 10 pulling on him.
