What should Miami’s gameplan be on offense?

The PFF stat where TAMU is 115th in nation against inside zone runs đź‘€ giving up 5.5 a clip.

In addition, it would be nice to see some new Mali-Cat bag plays.
I mentioned on another thread about adding more trick plays and your post is a good idea of what I meant. I don’t think we’ve seen Toney run the option or actually throw from the wildcat. If I’m not mistaken, he’s only run up the middle from the wildcat.
 
Use the whole field.

I personally want to see more perimeter runs with Pringle and quick strikes by Beck to the spot where the blitzer has vacated. But I definitely want to also see some Fletcher and CharMar smash mouth and a few verticals to Daniels and Marion. Toney will do what Toney does.

Just be multiple and take what the defense gives you because they will leave space open.
Run right at Howell and wear him down.

But, I would like to see a quick passing game to open the game with tempo.

Crowd noise can be as much of an advantage as it can be a disadvantage. You use it to your advantage with loads of motion and shifts, forcing the defense to communicate amid the noise of their own crowd
 
As simple and straightforward as it may sound, we need to play lights out and not be scared. This means the coaches, we have nothing to lose. There is no next week if you don't win this week. Hopefully, we play and coach like it.
 
My biggest worry about this game is that Mario will go into Bro Ball Mode since TAMU's biggest weakness is their run defense.

I also read somewhere yesterday that they are nearly last in FBS (132nd I think I remember) in yards allowed after contact, something like 3.9 yards after contact allowed. These stats alone play right into what our offensive identity is. Tailor made for Fletcher’s straight ahead physical game.
 
This kinda of goes against my usual preferences but we should make them defend bully ball. They’re not stout up front. We can and should make them bring extra defenders to help against the run.

Don’t need a script, but let’s step into Dawson’s seat for a second. What should the Canes be doing in this matchup?
We need 1 or 2 five to seven yard runs by Beck to PTSD them from what Arch did running on them.

Or a few wildcat plays from Toney to do it.

We need variety in the running attack and some QB movement when Beck drops back. We need to make these DLs run a lot, and get frustrated a lot.

Take the RBs wide on occasion. A couple of wheel routes. Allow Carson to drift to the right or roll out from time to time. Do not allow the aTm DL to figure out where we are going to run or pass the ball from with regularity, because once they get a bone in their teeth, they are tenacious.
 
Limit turnovers. Use Pringle more than fletcher.

Less WR screens.

Toney needs to touch the ball at least 15 times.

More jet sweeps and motion to open up the inside runs for Fletcher.

Push the ball downfield so the don’t drop safeties into the box.

Limit pre-snap penalties. It must stop.
he went from an average of 7 touches the first 8 games to an average of 12 touches last 4 games

Toney has thrown a few times from the QB spot
 
It has to be the game we play off the stuff we have seemingly been setting up all year, right? To break - and play off of - our tendencies? We've seen a little of it in the last 4 weeks, but there has to be more. Throw the kitchen sink at them and worry about the next few games when we get to that bridge, if we are lucky enough to get there.
