With tagovailoa in the portal, here's his tape v. common opponents (Rutgers)

[canesblevineesq.]

With t²'s little brother's possible transfer to Miami, thought a good reference and feeler for the type of player he is, or season he's had...., would be to see how he performed v. common opponents (same teams faced by the Canes), starting with the most recent (to make it less unrepresentative than perhaps his older tape). I looked up Rutgers (even though it's a bowl game), who shares the same conference with Maryland (B10), and I came across the following highlights (I know it's highlight, but tagovailoa seemed poised, looks promising... enjoy, I hope):

still can’t believe we lost to Rutgers.

My God, Rutgers is awful. What does that say about this team and Mario

Yep, they are. Reminds all of us how poor of a HC MC is..

As for Tagovailoa, it’s a must to bring him in. You can win 9, maybe 10 w/him..current qb’s on the team gets us 7. A no brainer..

When I saw a jersey with Cristobal on the back and not Lee, 11 behind C, 22 on the shelf, and young safeties in the defensive backfield, I realized it was a possibility. Still couldn’t believe it tho.

I've been told Mario inherited a terrible team and we are in a much better spot now.

Our starting safeties were 5th year seniors.

NMF......Never Marios Fault

Mario’s got a sweet gig. Makes $8 million a year, when he wins its because of the talent he is stacking, when he loses we blame college kids / Manny Diaz / the refs.

That's not horrible considering we don't have an OH State, Mich or Penn state type on our schedule. I feel TVD would throw more pics in those matchups and Emory would pass for half as many yards.

Others receiving blame before Mario....
The OC
The DC
The QB
Adidas
The weather
Bowl games

Those teams also have significantly more talent than Maryland.

Who also played corner. Get we should’ve won the game but we were missing a lot on defense and the OL.

We had 8 starters on the field on defense.

Minus our two starting safeties and Taylor at dt; against a run heavy team. Plus we were thinner at de with Harvey goi g to the portal. As I said we still should’ve won but still need to point out we were missing some key pieces.

If 4 players are all that separate us from Rutgers what did we hire an elite recruiter for?

True, guess what I meant by young is not starting. Even though they not babies, but there were reasons that they weren’t regular starters.

You forgot the biggest one, our QB. Our starter hadn’t played all year and was erratic at best. Tough to win like that.

Canes were an average team missing it's best players and on it's 3rd QB... Not sure what you would expect when Rutgers was running full strength, it was a mid-off at that point
