2) Malik Rosier continue to be efficient

After his fourth straight game completing less than 50 percent of his passes Miami Hurricanes quarterback Malik Rosier has rebounded against two opponents he was expected to. Rosier has completed 60 percent of his passes for 336 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions over the last two games.

Rosier has also continued to be a huge part of the Miami Hurricanes running game. With five touchdowns in the first three games, Rosier has already matched his output from 2017. He has 25 carries for 88 yards this season.

    • College rushing stats include any yards lost on sacks. The Hurricanes are 89th in the nation this season having allowed 42 yards in sacks through the first three games.

    Rosier will have a good chance for a big game against FIU. The Panthers are 100th in the country in passing yards against per game. They allow 259.7 yards per game through the air. The Hurricanes are 67th nationally in passing offense averaging 239.7 yards per game. 

    FIU is a bit better with opposing teams passing percentage against. The Panthers are 69th nationally allowing opponents to complete 58.5 percent of their passes. Saturday is a good opportunity for Rosier to have a big day. On the season he has completed only 51.4 percent of his passes this season.

    Rosier’s 15 of 35 performance against LSU brings that percentage way down. Rosier needs to continue the efficiency and accuracy he displayed the last two weeks.
