Richt needs to build depth
Depth? Wisconsin had less than 10 4-stars and Miami has 46 on the roster.
UNC, UVA, GT, BCC, Syracuse, Pitt all have considerably less “talent”, but they all played with or beat Miami.
Yes depth. We still have players who can't do what's asked of them, and no viable backups to use when they aren't good enough. If we had another viable QB option, maybe we could have sat Rosier when he stopped being able to get it done. Maybe we'd be able to run the ball for 2 yards on 3rd and 2. Maybe with better DB talent, a few of those short throws are incomplete and average QBs don't look like Brady against us.
Coaching could improve, but it's not what's keeping us from being able to run it in from the 3 yard line. It's not what keeps us from completing open passes. It's not what throws the ball into the hands of a DE.
