Misleading rushing totals

[ageezy]

we ran for 338 ....

and king handed off on the mesh 95% of the time ...

if he kept and made the right read we would have rushed for 400+ ... in our first game ... with no spring ball ... against a defense that was top 25 against the run

we ran for 51 yards against central michigan

not a debbie downer or a pumper, but i think we can all agree on these facts

He definitely missed his "keep" read on several read option plays. Some of that is rust. I think next week will give us a clearer picture of what/who we are.

I will take Miami rushing 300 yards a game every game.....

I sure they will see that on film. Remember King hasn't played a live game in over a year. He has a little rust to get rid of.

I agree and noticed this as well. I can only guess the game plan was to get the RB's the ball and keep him from being hit unless it was a scramble on rollouts or passing. The offense is going to be so hard to contain when we pulls the ball and runs himself and open up opportunities for even more gashes.

Can anyone name the last Miami team to rush for over 300 yards against FBS competition? Honestly, I don’t know the answer. They ran for over 300 in a game in 2016 but it was against Savanna State

Sure, if you remove all of Tom Brady's passes that travel in the air less than 20 yards he is an average at best QB

I mean.. big runs count. That's why you keep running the ball.

I hear you but all or nothing is not the way to go either..

Lol Mfs tryna nit pick now

This was our second-best rushing game against FBS since 2004.

Last year, we were 112th in yards and 117th in attempts.

I hate when people make these types of statements. “If you take away all the good plays, the offense wasn’t that good”. Yeah, no **** Sherlock.

 

[P-Tizzle]

Every **** team has long run plays mixed in with plays that go for 2.5 average. Miami ran the ball for over 300 yards in the first game of the season against an above average run defense. And with a QB who hasn't played in over a year (right?), a ****** OL last year, two true freshman, and a sophomore RB.

That's a win for Miami.

That's a lot of how it works. You think Edgerrin James literary rushed for 6 yards every single carry?

True, i seen at least 5 rpo's he should've kept! I think he wanted to be a team player first game.

We can dissect further. How many of those came during the milking of the clock in the final quarter when you’re just running up the gut.

 

[The Franchise]

Coaches might be telling King to err on the side of handing off. They might want to limit his exposure to too many hits, especially against a team we should beat. You'll notice Clemson didn't run Lawrence hardly all year and then in the playoffs he was running like crazy.

Exactly the goal Is to bust big runs, not get stuffed for 4-5 yards every time. Not sure why people see that as a negative and think they are doing something pointing that out
