Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.
Here is a look of some key stats for Miami heading into the match up with UNC.
Top 25
Under top 50 NEED IMPROVEMENT
Not good
Very good
Total offense YPG (7th) 505.8
Offense YPP (6th) 7.55
Total Defensive YPG (9th) 268.4
Pass Efficiency Offense (8th)
Rush Defense (1st) !!!
Completion % (7th)
TFL Allowed (11th)
Sacks Allowed (13th)
Avg TOP (12th)
Defensive YPP(16th) 4.64
Pass efficiency Defense (18)
Rush Offense (13th)
Pass Offense (22th)
3rd Down O (14th)
TFL (39th)
Passing Yards Allowed (43th)
Sacks (49th)
Red Zone O (43th)
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.
