PFF Grades for Miami Vs BCU
General notes:
-Miami had a pair of players that broke 90 percent grades this week per Pro Football Focus: Tyler Van Dyke with an overall 92 grade on offense and Gil Frierson at 90.2 on defense. For perspective, Van Dyke’s best graded games last year saw two above 80 percent – 87.9 against Central Connecticut State and 84.3 vs. NC State. Frierson? His best game last year was a 72.6 percent grade against Virginia Tech. So those were some big strides for an opener, at least.
-Grading out best as run blockers (with over 15 reps): Anez Cooper (81.4 percent), Justice Oluwaseun (80.8), John Campbell (80.1) and DJ Scaife (77.9). The team had an overall grade of 81.1 percent in run blocking, which is excellent.
- TVD was kept clean in the pocket almost the entire game, with PFF reporting two times he was actually considered “under pressure.” Offensive linemen that graded out particularly well as pass protectors (with over 15 reps) were Jalen Rivers (83.8 percent), DJ Scaife (82.4) and John Campbell (78.7).
-PFF noted seven missed tackles in the game, with Kam Kinchens the only player with more than one (he had two). An overall 67.9 tackling grade. The D did record 18 QB hurries.
- Several individual tackling grades were quite poor. The aforementioned Kinchens was at 48.4 (70 is considered good), Jared Harrison Hunte 55.2, DJ Ivey 38.8, Al Blades 28.7 and Avantae Williams was at 27.5.
-The top guy on the team tackle grade-wise was Corey Flagg, who beat out transfer Caleb Johnson for the starting job. Flagg was at 79.9 percent. No. 2 on the list was Johnson right behind him at 79.4. James Williams was also strong at 78.9 with others at 77 percent Gil Frierson and Tyrique Stevenson.
- Miami graded out at 92.6 percent overall . he offense was at 95.1 and the defense with an overall 83.4 grade.
