Miami after 6 Games - Historic Look Back Over The Last 25 Seasons

[GojiraCane]

We're now at the halfway mark of the regular season (or in the case, slightly over). So how do the 2020 Hurricanes compare against teams past? Let's have a quick look:

Record: This is the 5th time that Miami has started out 5-1. The previous four exampled yielded records of 11-1 (2000), 9-3 (2005), 9-4 (2006), and 7-6 (2018).
Points For: This is the 12th highest scoring Canes team over six games in the last 25 seasons
Point Allowed: Defensively only three other teams have allowed more points

However, let's isolate down to years where Miami played only Power 5 or Group of 5 opponents in its first five games. That narrows the scope down considerably to just seven teams. When doing so this year's squad has scored the third most of those teams. Defensively it's second worst, although the gap now between the 2020 Canes and the 2007 and 2009 versions is not that great.

fwiw and it was already posted -- https://www.espn.com/college-footba...-saban-concedes-defense-no-longer-key-victory

that said, our D could most certainly improve esp in the secondary

we need to hold teams to 20 points and get in the 30s each game. thats the realistic target for any team really

some of this board will just have to accept that the old way to judge a D is gone esp as it comes to yards and scoring. teams will score, it just depends on how much theyre scoring.

LOL at points allowed in 2012 by Dorito.

You still have to take into account how much the game has changed since the 90's. Teams score a lot now and that will skew the defensive numbers, but our offensive numbers should be higher no doubt.
