As we've all heard, in his last (somewhat) full season of work, King scored 50 total TDs in only 11 games.
That sounds pretty **** on paper and personally my Under Armour 6" Boxerjocks are starting to pulsate with excitement, but what do those numbers really mean?
King's 50 TDs were only 4 less than that year's Heisman Trophy winner and future #1 overall pick, Kyler Murray.
Murray played in 3 more games than King.
In fact, in King's 50 TD-shortened season, he scored more or the same amount of total touchdowns than all of these QBs did in their best seasons, despite playing 2-4 less games than all of them:
Tua Tagovailoa
Trevor Lawrence
Baker Mayfield (Heisman season)
Deshaun Watson
Dak Prescott
Johnny Manziel (Heisman season)
Jameis Winston (Heisman season)
Robert Griffin (Heisman season)
Tim Tebow (Heisman season)
What about recent QBs who outscored King in a season?
Well fvck them, too.
King accounted for roughly 4.5 TDs per game in 2018. That per game average tops the best seasons by:
Joe Burrow (Heisman season)
Jalen Hurts
Justin Fields
Kyler Murray (Heisman season)
Lamar Jackson (Heisman season)
Patrick Mahommes
Dwayne Haskins
Marcus Mariota (Heisman season)
Cam Newton (Heisman season)
Sam Bradford (Heisman season)
King finds himself besting an absolutely eye-opening list of Heisman winners and first round draft picks. He's in the company of a murderer's row of the most elite and impressive college QBs of the last several years.
There is no other way to say it other than to say the data suggests that D'Eriq King is one of the most dynamic offensive players in all of modern college football.
Miami has not had a bonafide, elite playmaker and surefire stud at QB in decades.
Of the 19 QB's I listed above, 16 of them won 11 or more games in their best season.
The Takeaway:
Manny Diaz has one of the deadliest playmakers at the QB position in the last 15 years of college football.
He is being paired with an OC who just finished guiding an offense to a top 10 finish in both total yards and total points scored.
Credit to Manny for bringing these two into the program this off-season, as unlike Tate and Enos, King and Lashlee bring with them on-field and in-game proof of success.
Barring an injury to King, anything less than 10+ wins would be an abject failure and indisputable evidence that a head coaching change is immediately necessary.
Quick Summary:
*If Manny doesn't win big this year he's a ******.*

Miami QB D'Eriq King lost his father and is now on a mission to honor his first coach and his "best friend."

Great article by Christy. He's obviously an outstanding young man from a great family. I wish him much success; not just from our teams standpoint but he's also very deserving from a personal standpoint.
It's refreshing just hearing that he looks good in practice. How many times last year during spring did we hear about how bad Tate looked even in practices.
I told myself I wasn't going to get excited until at the very earliest after the Michigan State game but damnit hear I am fully on the wagon again.
I think Miami should be pretty **** good this season. The one thing I'm concerned about is the o-line, getting a quality grad transfer tackle would be massive.
