Mark Richt’s Usage of Depth Helping Miami Hurricanes

"Guys sometimes want to be the hero and jump in another gap they shouldn’t jump in. Usually, a play will come to you if you stay in your gap defensively and play hard and pursue the ball. Offensively, in our system, for example, we have a certain play we call five different times and five different receivers got the ball. Coverage dictates. You have to be true to the system and trust and believe in each other.”"

On second-half adjustments against Georgia Tech, specifically:

"“They did a couple things differently in the perimeter, blocking when they were getting the ball outside. The first thing we did was stop the dive. If you don’t stop the dive, you’re done for the day. Our d-linemen did a great job of just punishing the fullback whether he had the ball or not. You just have to tackle him every play when he runs up the gut. Then everybody in the perimeter has to start playing ball and playing physical. We knew it was going to be a war of attrition because there was going to be some physical shots out there, some blocking, some taking on of blocks."
