Hetherman got a big dose of that with Gio Lopez so we should be ready for that

What numbers for conference games.. Feel like Famu is just too much

 

[TriStarCane]

Bad tackling

Perimeter and open field tackling has had spots where it’s really bad

Davidson isnt bad at rb/////they lust some interior guards last game i dont know if they will play nexty game...but we have to control their run and running qb.

The most impressive thing about Heatherman is how fast he adjust. He’ll feel the offense out and correct **** that needs to be fixed asap for the lost part.

So refreshing to see, especially since we’ve had mostly hard headed stubborn *** coaches here the last 25 plus years.

Last night I also heard one of the announcers mention that Miami has the #1 rushing defense over the past 2years or so... less than 86 rush ypg for opponents. It doesn't get much better than that however we should improve overall team tackling for that trend to continue.


For all the Wes, Popo, Chase, and Mo haters out there those guys are a big part of that equation, they're Thumpers. They struggle in coverage at times but what Linebacker doesn't have trouble with spread offenses? Look at NFL games even. Of course you'd love to have the total package but those guys are rare commoditie$. Personally I'll take our step-slow LBs if it means reliably stuffing the run.
