Miami Hurricanes Five Keys to Beating Virginia Cavaliers

Attack Downfield Offensively

The emergence of Ahmmon Richards at Wide Receiver has given Brad Kaaya a big play threat and should help open up the running lanes in the last three games.

Richards is making a push to be named a freshman All-American. He leads freshman Wide Receivers with 70.2 yards per game and yards per catch at 20.4.

Richards scorched Pittsburgh for 144 yards on eight receptions. That eclipsed his career high of 142 yards against Appalachian State. In seven of the Hurricanes nine games, Richards has averaged a minimum of 15.5 yards per catch.  He has 11 receptions for 24 yards or more this season.

The Hurricanes need to try and achieve balance against UVA. The running and passing games need to complement each other. When Virginia has to respect Richards big play ability it should open up the ‘Canes running lanes.

Once the ‘Cavs start to focus on the run, it will give Kaaya more time to throw and use the play action pass to get the ball to his receivers.

Miami-Virginia could be a shootout. The Hurricanes should be able to keep the offense rolling against UVA. If the defense can limit Mizzell like they did with Connor last week, UM should return home with their first win in Charlottesville in eight years.
