The performance on offense was downright embarrassing (more on that below). Three points generated by a totally inept offense (which has quite a few young, future stars on it) is totally unacceptable.
The defense wasn't perfect but they actually did a solid job of limiting the number of points scored by Wisconsin given five brutal turnovers and all the short fields they had to defend. The score could easily have been 60-3.
We really missed Gerald Willis against a run first team like Wisconsin. Nesta played with passion and showed some fire. I'd like to see that same old school passion from more of the players on the roster. Tito also had his best game as a Cane.
It was painful watching Rosier throw the ball late & over the middle and throwing the ball into double or triple coverage repeatedly etc. Perry's decisions weren't much better. Way too many interceptions. What exactly is the QB coach teaching these guys? It was embarrassing for such a proud program.
Until Perry came in, it was like Chinese water torture seeing #12 trot back out time after time in this game (as the INTs just continued to pile up).
People in N'Kosi's close circle need to have a series of long conversations with him and help him to mature fast. He has a great opportunity at Miami but he needs to fully embrace that and grow up. His unwise post on Social Media unquestionably had a major impact on this game. Had he started the game, I'm highly confident we would have scored more points and it would have been a much more competitive game. Kosi has to mature and needs help from those in his close circle or he'll blow a great opportunity.
With all of the speed & talent we have at the skill positions, we should never score only three points. Never.
Pride comes before the fall. CMR is clearly protecting his son's future in coaching to the detriment of the program. He needs to think long & hard about that. If he doesn't do the right thing for the program, next year could be his last.
I believe CMR is banking on the strong 2018 class to perform next year (particularly on offense). With the decisions he's making, he's basically going "all-in" on that approach. Jarren, Lingard, Cam, Pope, Hightower, Brevin, Mallory etc will need to put in a lot of hard work in the off-season to be ready for 2019. If those very talented young players don't perform as expected, it will end CMR's tenure at Miami.
It would be a much more prudent move for CMR to bring in a dynamic OC, remove his son (he could always work in financial services or some other great career), make Thomas Brown Co-Oc (without playcalling responsibility) & RB coach etc. That could really save this recruiting class (which is critical) and take a lot of pressure off CMR so he can focus on being a HC. He's already said he won't bring in a new OC. I seriously hope this disastrous offensive performance causes CMR to reconsider his position on this.
Blake James needs to grow some b@lls and have tough conversations with CMR (about the above).
What we've been doing on offense hasn't been working. Three points in a bowl game against a decent but not spectacular Wisconsin team is evidence enough. Same against Clemson last year. Losses to four average ACC teams is further evidence. CMR needs to swallow his pride and do what's best for the program (not what's best for his son). This offense looks nothing like the dynamic, innovative & highly effective offenses of the 80s, 90s and 00's. It is genuinely embarrassing at this point. CMR is seriously at risk of damaging his coaching legacy at this point. He was unquestionably a very good coach at UGA. Yes, he didn't win a MNC but consistently winning 9-10 games in the SEC is a solid track record. He's at serious risk of damaging his reputation & coaching legacy and it is due to stubbornness and nepotism.
CMR has the chance to change his fate. Will he make the same mistake as Al Golden (who remained stubbornly loyal to D'Onofrio)? If he does, it will very likely lead to his demise the same way it did for Golden. CMR - PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THINGS FOR THIS PROGRAM AND PROTECT YOUR COACHING LEGACY!!
