Takeaways:

Obviously not much on yet another bye week. As we all suspected watching the end of last season, the defense is absolutely dominant and national championship worthy (LOL).

The advanced metrics site is down, so those aren't updated, I'll come back and edit it later.

But honestly, I expect more of the same this week. Louisville has been much better defensively than offensively this year, so if all goes as expected, the defense will have another great game and rise in all the metrics, and the offense will probably be good not great, and pretty much stay consistent.

One thing we need to improve on, as well know. I continue to be shocked by being 72nd in the country in yards per carry. That just has to get better if we think we're winning a natty. I totally get the strength of schedule piece. Nobody in America has played better fronts than we have so far. But that number was 5th last season. And even in 2023, when we lost 5 times, it was 20th. It just doesn't really compute to not see Miami in the upper quarter of the country in YPC, and again, Louisville's defense has been pretty good, so I don't really expect us to run the ball 35 times for 250 yards. Would sure be nice, though.

But overall, this is the stat profile of a championship contender. Just elite up and down the defense (if I can nitpick, would like a few more redzone stops, but the biggest one against FSU, we did hold them to 3 on the first drive which was a massive win). And while the numbers are down on the offense, as expected from whatever the **** that was last year, we're still very good in certain areas. For example, if you're going to be 70th in yards per carry, you need to be good in avoiding losses (7th in TFLs allowed, 13th in sacks allowed), good on 3rd down (31st in the country), and good in the redzone (31st in TD %). It's just a more methodical attack, but again, we've played 4 defenses with very good athletes, and we're 32nd in the country in scoring. Which, at the end of the day, is all that matters. Put points on the board.

We should get some stat padding games coming up here soon. Stanford is god-awful, Syracuse is god-awful, I expect us to shred SMU, VT is god-awful, NC State is god-awful. But, one at a time. Whip Louisville's *** and keep this train rolling.

GO CANES

Our offense is lacking explosives. Big time. Throw in a couple 80 yard TD passes/runs and the entire statistical profile changes dramatically. Marty Brown’s non-TD for example.

And yes, I understand how statistics work. We need more explosives.

You're not wrong, but just because I know other people don't, these are purely raw numbers. We have only played 4 FBS games. There are only 5 other programs in the country who have only played 4 FBS games as well. But regardless, we know we need to be more explosive on offense.

Especially in the run game. Last year, we averaged 1.75 runs of 20+ yards per game.

This year, we only have 4 in 4 games.

Last year, we had nine runs of 30+ in 12 games.
This year, we have one.

More vertical passes, Shannon. TIA
 
Solid all around, the four teams we have played have been solid on one or both sides of the ball (pause). Should be an interesting second half of the season. Love these broski I appreciate this.

The opponent adjusted ratings are probably more indicative when looking at stat rankings at this stage.


Is a good site. More EPA metrics. Which has Miami at 9 in rush and pass EPA

All things considered, run blocking has been subpar. I know everyone blows the OL but feel like they could play a lot better tbh.

Definitely need Lyle back healthy to hit the holes faster and break away. Our consistent 4-5 yard gains are effective but aren't the greatest to watch as a fan.

I don't know if we're going to be some juggernaut rushing the ball this season. My guess is the passing game takes off in the 2nd half.

Rush Defense Opponents:

Notre Dame: 25th
USF: 49th
Florida: 34th
Florida State: 38th
Louisville: 31st
Stanford: 37th
SMU: 27th
Syracuse: 96th
NC State: 58th
Va Tech: 79th
Pittsburgh: 7th

Pass Defense Opponents:

Notre Dame: 104th
USF: 124th
Florida: 51st
Florida State: 63rd
Louisville: 8th
Stanford: 134th
SMU: 135th
Syracuse: 131st
NC State: 122nd
Va Tech: 71st
Pittsburgh: 81st

Clean up the **** penalties. For as disciplined as Mario ‘seems’ his teams are undisciplined AF

The amount of OL and procedural penalties are unacceptable

Sure would be nice to have the Toney TD on our stat sheet if Marion just does the basics and pays attention

I’m actually not worried about the explosive plays. We aren’t a high octane offense like last year but we can dial it up when we need to

It’s the stupid ******* penalties killing drives and momentum especially at a position group where we’ve invested more resources than any team in the country that drives me nuts
 
Technically, Miami has had one easy game. USF is a decent team. Cleaning up the penalties should be a priority. Hopefully they can get Lyle and Pringle in the game to break off some long runs on a tired defense.

Just a little nugget here but after our first drive against FSU:

Beck completed 15 passes in a row. He **** near broke his own record from earlier this year

15-15 for 204 yards

Threw an incomplete pass finally and then on the next throw hit CJ Daniels for the TD

So 16-17 for 228 yards and 4 TDs

Yeah we can throw it if we need to I think

Agreed. And the flip side is that the passing game was so effective against those cousin bangers because they were putting 7 and 8 in the box….to take away the run.
