Gattis is expected to rely more on the running game than his predecessor Rhett Lashlee. Van Dyke has an opportunity to be more efficient in 2022. In 2021, Van Dyke finished 11th nationally with a 160.10 passer rating. Under Gattis in 2021, Michigan QBs were 48th with a 143.86 passer rating.
Miami will need its mostly unproven wide receiver corps to step up into bigger roles and make big plays in 2022 for Van Dyke to make a Heisman Trophy run. Miami games at Texas A&M on September 17 and Clemson on November 19 will be critical for Van Dyke to have any hope for an outside shot at winning the Heisman Trophy.

Miami is expected to play a more conservative offense in 2022 and not throw the ball downfield as much as they did in 2021. Big plays and highlights are what the Heisman Trophy voters see. If Miami has a more successful season than they had in 2021 and Van Dyke continues to shine, the Heisman Trophy talk should blossom.
