The comments on the run game are somewhat of a concern, only because I’m hoping it’s not another case of us using “tight spilts” where we lead the nation in runs between the guards and no imagination in the run game

Tight splits have produced back to back leading rushers having 6.3 YPC, and one was 185 pounds and runs a 4.8 40.

I can see that on one side. On the other, you have CWH who is a second year (could be wrong) after your big 3. Unless he is an instant sensation, I think he’ll remain in the cache till ‘26. Not a testament to my belief in his ability, more so acknowledging roster composition.

- Josh Moore showed very good ball skills and contested-catch ability against some of our better corners.

- With full-live tackling, Keelan Marion used his strength and speed to take a short pass for a long TD.

- Armondo Blount continues to affect the quarterback.

- Carson Beck is a quick thinker with a quick arm and full control of the offense. He moved the ball consistently and made good decisions.

- Malachi Toney is earning trust from the veterans with his unique ability to separate, find space, help his quarterback and track the ball.

- Jacoby Thomas is known for his physicality, but he made an impressive break on the ball to take an INT the other way.

- The run defense won the day with stout play up front.

- Girard Pringle is our fastest tailback and impressed in full contact.

I appreciate the updates DMoney.

I am in wait and see mode as we have been waiting for the last 20 years for a Miami team to finally put it together to win the acc. Maybe this is finally the year.
I am cautiously optimistic. Go Canes!

Honestly that probably entirely depends on how much he plays ST, overall health, and how much we're blowing teams out or not. I'd likely agree, it'd be very unlikely he redshirts. I think he's RB4. All it takes is one injury and there is like zero shot he redshirts. Or if he has any ST role at all.

I will also say that Redshirting RBs is basically entirely useless. Every Rb in the country should leave for the NFL after their 3rd year if they can be drafted. And Any RB that isn't top 2 on a depth chart by their junior year and basically guaranteed like 100 touches should transfer out.

It also produced barely any explosive runs. Which when you have Cam Ward providing all the explosive play.... Elite QB + a consistently GOOD/Positive Run game was an excellent combo. But This year we need more explosive plays out of our Run Game....

Yards per carry - 5th in America
Tackles for loss allowed - 3rd in America
Rushing TDs — 22nd in America (while your QB is 1.1)
20+ yard runs — 26th in America
4th down conversion % — 9th in America

All of this contributed to the best offense in school history, and one of the best of any school in the last decade.

None of these guys followed your advice and entered the draft early

Treveon Henderson- 2nd round - 22 years old
RJ Harvey- 2nd round - 24 years old
Brayshul Tuten- 4th round- 22 years old
Cam Skattebo- 4th round- 23 years old
Woody Marks- 4th round- 24 years old
Jarquez Hunter- 4th round- 22 years old

And this year's will be even more efficient!

How did Justin Scott look?

Toure and Bissainthe?

Our Run game D being stout is great news considering we have one of the top OL in nation.

We’re going to be the first team to be 0th in every statistical category. Credentials will be revoked from Caneville and given to PhD’s at MIT who will descend on Hard Rock in pursuit of new laws of math the world has never seen.

100% They'll break it down using a super advanced algorithm developed and processed by AI to tell us how an offense that had less points, yards, explosive plays, time of possession, 3rd, and 4th down conversion was more efficient.

Can't wait!
