A very wise person once told me: "Worry is like a rocking chair. It may keep you busy, but it gets you nowhere."
But if it makes you feel better to worry about your Miami Hurricanes game against Syracuse on Saturday then be my guest.
And if you think that worrying is a productive behavior that will produce positive results then by all means please worry.
However, one thing I will tell you is that worrying is not going to change the outcome of the game on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium.
So rather than worrying why not relax, take a deep breath, have an adult beverage and think positive thoughts about the outcome of the game?
I know that is exactly what I will be doing while enjoying every minute of Miami's convincing win over Syracuse on Saturday.
PREDICTION: Miami 34 - Syracuse 13.

I like that Rosier does not turn the ball over or take sacks, and seems to finish games strong, even under pressure. In order for Rosier and his team to be elite, Rosier has to improve his consistency and accuracy, which I think he can do.
I would like to see Rosier get his completion percentage up from a below-par 59.1% (10th in the ACC, even behind a few first-time starters like Blackman at FSU), and increase it to about 65% or greater by the end of the season. If he does that, the Canes will be very successful this season, the Canes will crush most teams they face, and Rosier will be a virtual lock to finish out his UM career as a legendary Canes QB starter that was part of the resurgence that really brought the U "back."

Some very good news, though we sure could have used Delaney this week:

This all day.
Malik is only in his sixth start so he has a ways to go.
I was hoping he would be a little better going through his progressions since this is his fourth year on campus.
Honestly he is exactly what I thought he would be. I was just worried he would be a turnover machine, but that has not been the case so far.
We can win some games with this guy.
He is NOT ready to run everything Richt wants, and probably never will be.
Richt has called some great plays earlier in games that Malik has flat out missed.
My problem with Richt is that we know this about him.
He takes ok shots downfield when he has great shots short. He keeps when he should hand off and vice versa. He sometimes calls run when he should call pass and vice versa.
A better qb would shred it in this o, but we have what we have.
Richt needs to help him more with predetermined, quick point and throws that are open due to scheming more than making a complicated read. One two recievers max.
Richt should not shelve his offense, it works.
He just needs to take away A LITTLE of Malik's decision making freedom and add more plays that force him to throw quick and short.
It wont lead to a 60 a game offense but we will be much more consistent.

I don't recall too many designed roll outs. There was the one in third qtr last game that he hit for a big gain. Wonder if that would help his accuracy
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | October 19, 2017 at 12:31 PM
The S&P+ looks to measure the efficiency and explosiveness of an offense while adjusting for pace.
The efficiency measurement, known as the Success Rate+ measures Miami as the sixth most efficient offense in the country.

All that really says is that Miami makes explosive plays and I dont think many disagree with that. I think what people really want to see is an offense that controls the score of the game by getting leads and answering the other team's scores.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 19, 2017 at 12:58 PM
That play by play breakdown really illustrated some of Malik’s shortcomings, but the kid has come up huge in big moments so he deserves a ton of credit too.
Think we’ll see Malik the streak the whole time he’s here. So far that’s been plenty good enough when it counts.

News is that Navaughn Donaldson is listed as probable on the injury report. Sheldrick Redwine, Michael Pinckney and Ahmmon Richards are not even listed. This is great! Dee Delany is out and, of course, Evidence Njoku joined Mark Walton and Jamie Gordinier on the Out for the Season list.

That will only go so far against more complete teams like we will face the rest of the season.
But hey, 8f the defense can keep 8t up, it gives us more room for error.

Moving the pocket, especially with play action, could really help us in goaline and short yardage.
Malik has helped the offense with his legs.
I think Richt will find ways to use MalikA's athleticism to break through slumps over the next six games.
It seems logical with his issues with accuracy and reads.
Posted by: TruCane81 | October 19, 2017 at 02:13 PM
Just re watched the cuse vs Clemson game. My observation :
Cuse has some bad ass receivers.
Their RB is quick to the hole.
Their O line is not impressive
Clemson came in and looked past them. Clemson played without any energy. By the time Clemson woke up, it was too late.
Cuse was at home, the 12th man.
Their D line is very undersized. They balance it out by been fast. But they still don’t get pressure without blitzing. That’s where we should kill them.
We should start the game by throwing. Because they blitz often. Once we burn them with Richards, Berrios, Langham, and Henson, that will open up big gaps for the run for their puny D line.
Lastly, I would like to thank Clemson for under estimating them and loosing. No one saw the cuse coming before. Not so anymore! Now they have a big target on their back. Poor guys, they might actually loose all the rest of their games. Because every team is ready for them now.

One thing I do not miss seeing under CM Richt...the quarterback rushing to the line...pausing...everyone stands up...QB looks to the sidelines for several seconds on confusion...then tries to get set up, only to have the play clock expire.
