"“Mark Richt: a season with so much hope coming in has fallen apart down in Miami. The Hurricanes looked listless at best Friday night in a 27-14 loss to Boston College. The coach is going to have to answer some tough questions about the quarterback play of both Malik Rosier and N’Kosi Perry.”"
The Roar’s points are concise and excellent. This is an Australian Sports website, but likely has an American writer behind it. The post was written before Richt’s weekly teleconference on Sunday.
The media was tough on the Hurricanes Head Coach, but as usual, he was effusive in his discussion of why he is sticking with Malik Rosier as the starting quarterback. He continues to hold on to the statement that “he gives us the best chance to win.”
The Roar’s bigger point might be that “the Hurricanes looked listless at best Friday night.” Insinuating that a team quit is about the worst accusation you can make towards a team, their coaching staff and players.
It might not be too far off. The way the offense has played in the last two games the problems extend far beyond quarterback.
