Get something out of the passing game

We discussed earlier in this post how anemic the Miami Hurricanes passing offense has been this season. After complementing the running game in the final three non-conference games of 2018 the Canes passing offense has failed to produce. In ACC games Miami is 12th averaging 156 passing yards per game in conference play.

    • The passing numbers are dreadful the more they are examined. The Hurricanes are last in conference play in passer rating and yards per attempt. They are 13th in completion percentage, 12th in touchdown passes and yards and yards per game.

    Perry is being given another chance as the starting quarterback. While there has been a lot of blame of Mark Richt’s play calling (and fairly so) Perry has to make the most of the plays that are called. The Hurricanes have far too talented of a wide receiving corps to have as weak of a passing game as they do.

    Richt needs to find a way for Perry to get the ball to Freshman tight end Brevin Jordan and wide receivers Junior Lawrence Cager and Sophomore Jeff Thomas. Jordan leads Miami with 29 receptions, Cager with six touchdowns and Thomas with 447 yards.

    Over the last three games, Jordan has 14 receptions for 96 yards, Cager five receptions for 90 yards and no touchdowns and Thomas nine receptions for 51 yards. Miami has to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers.
