Miami Hurricanes vs. Bethune-Cookman Breakdown

Concerned with the offensive play calling. 

After 555 total yards and running the ball at will, there are still some reservations. In particular Tempo. Miami seemed very bogged down and lackadaisical at times.

Miami ran 65 plays which were four less than Bethune Cookman on Saturday. (In a post game interview Rosier confirmed pace was an issue)

Miami averaged 69 plays a game last year which was 106th in the country. The pace the Miami Hurricanes operate at times is troubling.

Great college offenses have learned to increase play counts in order to stress out defenses and increase the statistical probability. Pushing the pace has the tenancy to keep defenses base, tired and less exotic.

Miami does not use motion. The Hurricanes were content on two major wide receiver lines that were essentially stagnant in their same positions all game. Going back to last year, Richt rarely utilized motion or shifts in his play calling.

The position speed that  Richt has brought in it is being underutilized by essentially lining them up equivalent to hockey players on shift work. Having someone in motion can essentially create more mismatch opportunity and isolate onto slower defenders.
