Special teams unprepared, stupid penalties, horrible qb play, horrible play calling and to much defensive substitution.
Mark Right better figure out how to put in an intermediate passing game into this offense you can't out athlete every team.

What we should see

A passing game that adds split back with swing passes, fb circle pass, rb screens, te screens, te pop passes you can't go all vertical we need shallow crossing routes. A good OC uses the whole field we are using about a 1/3 of it. The next three games should see a heavy use of freshmen and back up qb"s. Miami has to come out of those three games with the freshman db"s caught up to speed , special teams corrected, and faith in the back up qb's. Rosier can have the first three series of every game and then pull him. start the games with the freshman db's starting with the first unit and get them communicating and don't let knowles or dean on the field. This season begins now fix your crap, go for the kill, and don't let up no matter how bad the team is that we are playing. You have to become a killer. The next three games is where u experiment with everything and you become ruthless.

We run some of those routes already. Rosier is limited, and doesn't see them at all. Those crossing routes or TE's up the seam are throws Malik doesn't make well, and he becomes blind to them when he's pressing for the big home run ball...which is what he did against LSU and in other games where he's struggled. Malik makes a fatal mistake that you can't as a QB way too often - he predetermines his target and doesn't come off of it. So, when that guy's covered, the decision tree becomes:

Is that guy covered? -> Take a sack/run the ball/throw it into coverage anyway
Is that guy open? -> Attempt to complete it

Notice how there's no decision for "who else is open" or "what is my next option" after the initial receiver is covered. THAT's the problem.

Malik has yet to learn that you don't have to throw the ball 50 yards to Jeff Thomas for Jeff Thomas to get 50 yards on a catch. Same with Ahmmon. Sometimes a short 5 yard completion to them turns into a lot more because of their ability to run after the catch if given the opportunity.
