For the most part Miami came to play and in the first half it appeared as if the ending to GT was gone
Second half, different story
1) Reuben Bain - Absolute beast, best DL on the team and hes only a Fr. Finally they called a hold against him but he's a special player
2) Jacolby George - Was a 4 star big recruit and is finally showing it. Big time player who could play at any program.
After that, where are we? There are no "special" players on this team, no game changers and thats the circle of events Miami seems to be in. To get those plyers Miami needs to show they can win games like UNC but they can't win games like this until they get enough of those types of players.
The Jeremiah's, McCray's, and others that seemingly can make the difference between hanging in games like this for 30 minutes or actually winning them.
As for QB; Look, TVD is what he is, you can win with him and last night he was beat up and stood in thre. But I'd much rather recruit an elite QB and have them develop rather than going to the revolving door of portal QBs.
Also, while this is a deep group of WRs there is no separation in ability and all seem to be diferent versions of the same player. I like Horton and Young but players like Smith and Ray Ray need to be on the filed to expose the top of the defense. The same can be said for RB as to date Miami doesnt have any big plays from their RBs.
On defense, I don't like to criticize players but where is Leonard Taylor? 5 star, top DT in his class and still a projected first Rd pick but he doesn't make plays. Heck, Gerald Willis was dominant here for his one season (he was also a one time 5 star).
The defense also cant be giving up 3rd and tens when the opposing Q scrambles (been happening for 20 year) nor allow 3rd and 20s.
I still think there is room to save the season and show that Miami is improving but the staff needs to use the roster more effectively.

. He's Joe Yearby 2.0. Takes advantage of gaping holes, decent vision, decent shiftiness, average speed, no 2nd gear so he tries to lower the shoulder (but at 5'10", 190).
