The funny thing is, opponents had the formula to stop Miami's offense the whole season. There was nothing that Pitt of Clemson did that "exposed" Miami's offense. Every team loaded up in the box to stop the run and decided to take their chances with Rosier beating them (except Notre Dame who inexcusably played two deep safeties almost the entire game). The difference was that for the first ten games of the season, Rosier was able to make just enough throws to beat some pretty mediocre teams. Against Pitt, he had one of the most erratic throwing performances I've ever seen and it continued over against Clemson but it got magnified by Clemson's talent. Not having a healthy Ahmon Richards for most of the year hurt too as he was the only receiver on the team that other teams feared. Pitt was not afraid to leave their mediocre corners on an island against any of our guys because odds were, even if they got beat, Rosier wouldn't be able to hit the receiver.
