For the last two years, our best player on offense, our best playmaker, has been a freshman. A FRESHMAN. Think about that for a moment. Next year, we will still have to rely on freshman to contribute or complement what Duke and Coley have done the last two years. Defensively, besides Perryman, we are still breaking in freshman to try and be difference makers, whether it's AQM or Burns. To say that the talent on this team is in the young classes is valid. To realize that next year we will still need guys who are less than a year out of high school to contribute immediately and surpass guys that have been in our program for four years, speaks volumes to the type of upper class athlete we have at Miami right now. There is not one senior on this team this past season that was a difference maker their whole career at UM. Serviceable yes, difference makers, no. Regardless of strength training, football know how, coaching, when a freshman can come in and take an upperclassmen's job almost immediately, without strength training, without knowing the play book, with fully acclimating to college football, they are just a different caliber type of athlete. Let's close with a great class, let's keep playing these guys and let's cheer for more and more difference makers to keep arriving in campus.
