Last night, your Miami Hurricanes Football team moved to 2-0 after routing FCS opponent, the (1-2) FAMU Rattlers 77-7 inside Hard Rock Stadium. The Hurricanes offense showed the nation yet again that they're one of the best in the country, setting a new single-game program record with 856 total yards of offense.

After the game, Pro Football Focus graded each Hurricane from when they were on the field. On the offensive side of the ball, the highest graded Hurricane was backup quarterback Luke Nickel, who completed all eight of his passes for three touchdowns. On defense, defensive lineman Jarquez Carter was the highest-graded player, recording two tackles in the win.

I can’t with these PFF grades. Whitehouse scores higher than Fletcher? Come on man. And don’t start with explanations. Common sense tells you who had a massive game and who didn’t.
 
You can only take pro football focus with a grain of salt, but SJ graded pretty high and had a good game. Of course we all know the competition but nonetheless, he played much better and he will get better throughout the year..
 
These "grades" are useful for players and teams with a huge sample size. For individual game grades, they are often times misleading. Use PFF to track trends over time, not to make short sighted conclusions
 
Clearly Nickel needs to be starting next week, head and shoulders above Mensah
It's just a numbers thing. He completed 100% of his passes, and three TDs on 8 attempts. Not to mention his average per pass was insane. Of COURSE it doesn't mean he's the better QB, it just means his grade was crazy high.

Personally, I am really glad we have a backup QB put up stats like this against air, much less real people.
 
People get so ****y as soon as numbers are involved. God help you if a 3* kid turns into a star or PFF says the guy who “looks” better wasn’t.
