Miami football 2023 opponents spring game dates and biggest questions
Georgia Tech White & Gold Spring Game April 15 1 PM ET
Is Haynes King the answer at QB? After finishing 109th in passing offense in 2022, Georgia Tech lost main starting QB Jeff Sims to Nebraska and brought in Haynes King from Texas A&M. King has good athleticism at QB but often struggled. In three seasons at Texas A&M, King completed 56.6 percent of his passes with 10 TDs and Ints.
Texas A&M Spring Game April 15 4 PM ET
Can Texas A&M improve offensively? Jimbo Fisher hired Bobby Petrino to improve an offense that was 93rd nationally in 2022. Miami held Texas A&M to 264 yards in 2022 in a 17-9 loss but their own ineptitude in the red zone cost them. The Aggies were 101st nationally in 2022 averaging 22.3 points per game.

Virginia fell to 103rd in total offense in 2022. Miami and Virginia combined for 500 total yards and no touchdowns in the Hurricanes’ 14-12 four-overtime game in 2022.
North Carolina Spring Game April 15 3 PM
Who will replace Josh Downs at WR? Downs was a dominant force for North Carolina the last two seasons with 195 catches, 2,364 yards and 19 touchdowns. Sophomore J.J. Jones leads the UNC WR returnees after having 24 receptions for 434 yards and TDs. The return of QB Drake Maye should help the WR corps.
