anyone who assumes this will be a cakewalk for Miami based on the Dookies game.... wrong.

Remember the year VT lost to James Madison? Yeah, they beat us. It just never matters how poorly a team looks against someone else. We always find a way to right their wrongs.

FSU hired willie for the same reasons. And he stunk up the joint last year.
This year they hired briles and it’s not like they’re lighting teams up. Oline dictates whatever you do even if you help it. Even if we start shotgun spread our offense will still be limited.

Their offense is MILES and MILES better than it was last year. He's definitely not lighting it up, but they had a bottom 30 offense in the country last year. It's middle of the pack right now. They look infinitely more competent on offense this year than last. It has a lot to do with coaching (and that moron Francois being long gone).

Their offensive SP+ is 26th. That's a huge jump from last year, when they ranked 97th.

To be fair
UNC is an enigma of a team but bottom line, their coach Bateman their dc is really good and they ultimately aren’t a bad team as they have beaten an acc and sec team already and played the reigning national champion the toughest I’ve seen in years. They controlled majority of that game and even Clemson couldn’t get anything really going on offense.

in terms of uf sloppy game but that was a big time challenge for an extremely young offense. I say that to say this the competition has been GOOD in terms of who the offense has been facing in terms of 2/3 fbs teams. No excuses for that cmu performance, the offensive run game was completely disrupted by cmu and we couldn’t get anything going.

With that being said there are certainly things enos needs to do to make this offense improve and everyone knows it. The offensive line has to step up too. It seems we have went through early season struggles of a new offense but I dont Expect it to necessarily continue throughout the rest of the year. That happened with Enos’s 2015 offense too

Yes, I believe the UF defense is the best Miami will face all year, and it was Week 1 with freshmen at LT, RT, and QB. I'm not burning Enos at the stake for that game. The offense was better in Week 2, although IMO not good enough (couldn't finish drives). And I have no earthly idea what that CMU game was. That was absolutely abysmal. But his story certainly is not written after 4 games. No person with an IQ above 70 would suggest otherwise.

Are they running anything way different than last year?

I think he did that against UNC. Offense wasn't the problem, and the entire team -- including the OL -- looked much more comfortable in that game.

Bethune didn't tell us anything; but I think what the CMU game tried to do is build some momentum towards establishing the type of team we want to be, with the hope we'd overwhelm an inferior opponent. We didn't, and the issue snowballed -- that's a sign of a young, inexperienced OL, and the inconsistency should be expected.

I'm not as down on Enos as some other people here. I've seen a ton of good things from the team, and Jarren's development has been a huge step forward. But when your OL is weak -- or, at best, inconsistent -- there are going to be growing pains.

Hopefully we see more of the UNC offense we saw in Chapel Hill, and none of that CMU garbage.

Oh I see improvement. Problem is, even Richt's O does better against CMU than what we just witnessed.

And that's the problem. Why is Enos acting like we have Bama's line? Or ****, Tulane's for that matter.

As I have stated before if the o line is young across the board they are likely weak physically and in the playbook. Which means Enos can not do anything to help them. If he mixes up the protections they get confused and **** it up. If he simplifies it so they know their assignments they get bullied. I guarantee he is pulling out all the stops to try and help them (Probably why he is trying to pull Donaldson across th formation to protect the edge) Somehthing our film gurus are seeing and going wtf, but like I said trying everything. You guys are all viewng play calls in hindsight and saying what would have worked better *****ing about pa calls. Maybe that's the only thing in film that has even remotely slowed the pass rush down. So he keeps going back because outta the gun we are still getting abused when we are in obvious passing situations. I don't know not a film guru and don't have time to analyze every play but I've watched lance and Romans **** and neither of them really have answers they just want us to do something different.

I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying, but you're getting to 2, 3, and 4 before you take care of #1. #1 is the linemen are being physically beaten at the point of attack often. The main goal of the offense in the passing game should be to get the ball out quick. He did a good job of it against UNC. The ball was out MUCH quicker than it was against UF. And you can see the aDOT (average depth of target) is very low for this team. What does that tell you? The passing game is being predicated on quick, get the ball out, short to intermediate routes. Then, against Bethune, we went back to the long-developing routes and plays with the QB turning his back to the defense, and Williams got killed again. To me, blitz pickup, protections, etc come later in development. The very bottom fundamental building block is can your offensive lineman hold up against the man in front of him? If the answer to that is no, you're limited in what you can do, but you CAN do things to mitigate that. Screens, draws, bubbles, short/intermediate passes, getting the TE's involved, shallow routes with your backs out of the backfield, LINE UP IN THE GOD**** SHOTGUN, QB designed runs, Wildcat etc. This guy should be smart enough to know his offense's limitations by now. It sucks, but he's gotta accept that there are limitations and creatively scheme his way around them. He doesn't have Alabama's line, so adjust and call the game to fit the kids you do have. Sure, you're going to struggle a good bit because there's not a ton you can do when your OL is getting straight whipped every snap, but there are ways to mask that if you're smart and have good players at the other positions, which Miami does.

Here's to hoping the Bethune gameplan was vanilla and the performance was an aberration. But based off the first 4 games, I'm not convinced it was. We'll find out this week, and then for sure next week.

This is exactly what I've been thinking. Compared to what we saw against UNC and **** even Bethune -- we ran a very limited playbook. But we'll find out soon enough come Saturday.

Tried to establish the run too **** much and it didn’t work. Go with what’s working and has worked all year against cmu which was the passing game.
