Miami Hurricanes HC Mark Richt’s Syracuse Post Game Comments

"The slant down on the goal line, the defender really did a super job. Even though that ball hit him right on the hands, we have a rule that we want it from his belly button to his knees. In the red zone, low red, you throw that slant route just a little bit lower for that reason. If you hit him [in the hands], there’s a chance they can rake it out. Did it hit him on the button? It did, but it wasn’t quite where we said to throw it. Just a little bit of ball placement here and there, we might have even done better. “Again, thrilled about the victory. Just inconsistent effort offensively."

How did the Defense Play?

"Defensively, there were some really bright spots and some not-so-bright spots. Their quarterback [Eric Dungey] is as tough as they come. He’s a great runner, he’s a great leader. He’s as tough as he can be. We had a tough time getting him on the ground at times. He extended plays and kept drives going for them, with his wheels and with his arm. He’s one of the better quarterbacks we’ve played in a while.”"
