Pope, Wiggins & Scaife: GREAT story!

Advertisement
Some highlights;

Scaife thinks the system is perfect for the Hurricanes, who have a group of athletic offensive linemen. He said he grew a bond with offensive line coach Garin Justice during the four spring practices.

“I love the tempo because it can wear a guy out,” Scaife said. “On the first play, everyone is going to go hard. On the 12th play of a 12-play drive…some guys can’t go that long. I know I can. When I see the defensive linemen tired, I know it gives me more energy.”

“I’m feeling comfortable,” Pope said. “I’m confident, knowing my assignments and playing fast. I’m very excited. The offense has been great for me so far.”

Similar to Scaife’s bond with Justice, both Pope and Wiggins emphasized Likens’ role in their development and high expectations for the season.

“He’s like another Cooney to me,” Pope said. “I can trust him with anything. I can talk to him about anything – not just about football, but about life. Everything has been great with him so far.”

Wiggins echoed Pope’s sentiments and elaborated on Likens’ coaching style.

“He’s a great man. He teaches us to be a man. That’s one of the best coaches I’ve had in my life. He’s very hard on us – that’s what it takes for us to be great and not average,” Wiggins said. “He’s really a mentor. I’m learning a lot from him. Not just football-wise, but in life and about my future, and not just about football, but being a man.

“I love Coach Likens.”

Miami should have a distinct advantage with conditioning and playing in South Florida for the O-linemen to be effective with the hurry-up. Hopefully they can find a couple guys to give them breathers. Remember how the Dolphins used to roll through the early season? Teams hated playing in the heat of SoFL. Miami is the southernmost college in NC2A football.
 
I'ma lookin' and I'ma Likens those quotes.

Harris, Harley, Jordan, Wiggins, Pope, Mallory are about to look unrecognizable playing with tempo and a decent QB. Toss in a little Rooster, Don 2 Chainz, Payton, with some Restrepo and baby you got a stew goin.'

Love hearing the confidence. I know we didnt have a media day but last year seeing guys like Pope and Lingard interviews they just seemed out of it with no confidence. When players believe in system and coach they play that much better. Looking forward to Pope making plays on the field..

Hope we can get Payton on the same wave also

We're only about 3 miles farther south than FIU.
