Are U Ready For Some Football?

The University of Miami released its 2018 football schedule Wednesday, highlighted by a nationally televised, season-opening matchup with LSU, as well as six home games at Hard Rock Stadium. 

The Hurricanes kick off the 2018 season on Sunday, Sept. 2, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, against the Tigers in the 2018 AdvoCare Classic – UM's first meeting with LSU since the 2005 Peach Bowl and the first regular season meeting between the two schools since 1988. The game will be televised on ABC at 7:30 p.m. ET. Miami's last visit to the Dallas area was its 1991 Cotton Bowl win over Texas.

Miami's home schedule includes non-conference games against FIU and Savannah State, as well as games against ACC rivals Duke, Florida State, North Carolina and Pittsburgh. The Hurricanes posted a 7-0 regular season mark at Hard Rock Stadium in 2017.

Miami enters the 2018 campaign following a strong 2017 season in which the Hurricanes posted a 10-3 record – UM's first 10-win season since 2003 – and won the ACC Coastal Division title for the first time in school history. Head coach Mark Richt was named ACC Coach of the Year and Walter Camp National Coach of the Year.

The key is running the ball, I cant stress this enough. Malik needs to be in the best situations and when the defense gets us the ball, we owe them points, period. The 3 & out sh*t needs to end also, especially with ONLY Ford out there taking the brunt of the attack.

[Terrance Sullivan]

LSU, SSU, FIU, FSU, Duke,GT,Pitt Games for me in attendance looking forward to seeing the Canespace Family at those games.

I hear ya', but we can't go off the bar Rosier set. IMHO, the goal should be 60% or better for Rosier, Perry, & maybe Weldon...Williams I'll give a pass to because He's a true frosh.

[CoCane]

Every year some people think the elite incoming frosh are going to start over veterans.

News flash:

Most frosh are not developed enough to come from high school and beat out a talented veteran that has been honing their craft 1-3 years already.

It's possible but unlikely.

I don't expect Lingard, Pope, Hall etc to start next year. They all have a lot to learn.

Patience...

[1mg of Epi]

If there is a player who can beat the odds and start immediately, I think lingard is him. Dudes already got the size and world class speed, so given another 9 months he will be there physically.

He’s an EE and apparently a student of the game, so if expect him to have the mental aspects as well.

[Go Canes!!]

I expect Lingard and Jordan to start.

Think at running back you can be a game changer from day one. Jordan will start because we basically have no one else with his skill set at that position on our roster.

[1mg of Epi]

Besides, we know Richt isn’t shy about using freshmens. Young guys will still see significant burn, whether or not they’re on the field for the first play.

[CoCane]

Lingard is 6'0 190. He's big for HS, not college. He runs track. He's going to lose 5-10 lbs during track season and be around 190-195 by camp. Homer and Dallas will be over 200 lbs.

He will have to block and catch better then them.

The game will have really slowed down for Homer and Dallas. They will see the field so much faster.

If Homer and Dallas were scrubs, that's different. Those are very talented future NFL caliber RB.

Is it possible that Lingard can overcome those obstacles? Yeah... But it shouldn't be expected.

Remember how many thought Amari, N'Kosi and Thomas would start too.

Patience...

[CoCane]

Jordan has the best chance because only Irvin JR is there to compete with. Noodles and Lingard have to beat out proven beasts... ijs

[CoCane]

Lingard is fast but not world class. He's not an elite 100m, 200m sprinter. He runs hurdles. Homer is moving too. Dallas will be faster, is quicker and has hands good enough to be a WR.

Just chill...

[Go Canes!!]

Good points on Lingard Co.

Him being an EE will hopefully help him pack on some pounds before the fall.

He looks like a real difference maker.

[CoCane]

There's more to RB then being fast. I know Lingard is an elite talent but let's see if he can handle practicing against the most talent he's ever faced first.

Perspective and patience...

[His Royal Dudeness]

Posted by: CaneRock | January 17, 2018 at 04:11 PM

Yes. No matter who wins it, they just need to play smart and hit throws enough to matter. I dont think Malik will get there though unless we can run the damned ball consistantly. Ace Set, Power I, Spread Option, whatever. Getting this kid into 3rd 2 is critical. I think we've got some powerful and talented kids playing RB for us. If Homer played in that Wisconsin offense, I think he could put up numbers also. Im not asking for their level even, but with our talent level, can we get a "Coastal Dominant OL?"

[His Royal Dudeness]

CoCane,

Excellent posts my friend. I'd like to know your take on the OL. Ive found them to be unorganized at times & not physical at other times. It just kinda looks like a mess and Im not sure where the direction is going there. Cleary Donaldson has All America ability at guard. I like St. Louis vs the pass but against the run he's not a bully. Outside of that, I dont see a bunch of quality big body depth.

[86Cane]

Lingard will get PT, but I don't see Him beating out Homer & possibly Dallas.

Posted by: CoCane | January 17, 2018 at 04:47 PM

I’m def not qualified to decide whose speed is world class or not, whatever I’ve read on lingard highlited his track accomplishments. He does have talent in front of him... but whether he starts or not doesn’t really matter. Hopefully he’s able to get PT, would be nice to go into a game w a stable of quality backs.

Any qb obviously will benefit from a D paying attention to the ground game, but too often Rosiers problems were independent of that.

[Go Canes!!]

This is going to create a free for all and is a bad, bad idea:

ESPN: I spoke w/ an NCAA official this week who was “95% certain” transfers will soon be allowed to play immediately in basketball & football. Could be a one-time freebie, plus grad transfer option. So in theory, a student-athlete could play for three different schools w/o sitting out.

Oui

[AeroCane]

Lingard is an elite talent! Homer is a good back but by no means better than good! Let's get real! Even if lingard doesn't start he will definitely take reps from Homer! Now DeeJay - that's a wonderful athlete we have! He could be great at RB, WR or defensive back!

[AeroCane]

And rosier should not start for us! He's just not the talent nor student of the game to be better than average (if that)
We need perry, Weldon or Williams to really step up

[Herbieibis]

Unless Homer gets hurt before the season starts Lingard ain’t starting and neither will Jordan. Only FR. To start for sure is Baxa. Maybe a FR. Lineman but that is highly doubtful.

[AeroCane]

Isn't this fun! Debating about football in January!

I agree it should be expanded, especially for things like a coach bolting

But coaches are now going to have to keep re-recruiting their own players year to year. That’s too much chaos.

The U was one of the first schools to offer a four year ride. Don’t see anything wrong with expecting some type of commitment in return.

[Herbieibis]

Soup it ain’t happening. Now even a seasoned vet like yourself knows that ain’t happening. Now The Herb will say this, as u now, on several occasions I ‘be stated on here that we need a bigger back, now if Lingard is at 210, I can see that happening. Jordan neither. I know Irvin is average at best but unless he gets busted for pot, he will start.

Now to EPI,
Just because Richt had Rosier throw a few bombs, don’t make him a good play caller and our OC needs his Ass up in the box where he can see what’s going on. We couldn’t run against good defenses and that’s where we need a bigger back, a sledge hammer if u will.
Why are we playing Savanna freaking State. What a waste of a weak end and a false sense of who u are. Don’t bother texting that all teams do it, we shouldn’t and the NCAA ought to ban D-1 from playing those teams.

[CoCane]

Homer was a soph. Dallas was a frosh.

They will be better with another off season of development. To expect a frosh RB that is smaller then them, hasn't even had 1 college practice yet, to start over them is jumping the gun...

[CoCane]

Dudeness,

The OL is wait and see. We're about to know for sure how good or bad they're being coached up.

[Herbieibis]

With our new additions at Rb, maybe Dallas moves to another position. Kid can play, don’t see us wasting him on 4 plays a game.

[Herbieibis]

If we can’t beat LSU, we will have big problems next year. They only have 4 offensive starters back and 6 on defense. Their starting Qb is gone. Here is finally a chance for us to stop our greenhorn jinx, where these out of no where qb’s eat us for breakfast.

Whoa there bud! Richt thus far has been a pretty bad playcaller much of the time. I was just saying he isn’t scared to air it out.

EPI,
Gotcha! No, he wil throw a bomb.

[Herbieibis]

I guess most of U are still on the Duggins bandwagon! I mean Langham went from no catches to 11 catches and I hope he caught 11 passes after 4 years and Berrios rose from the ashes from his jr year when Doogie was there as well to our one and only dependable receiver.

[JCane]

Herb:

Think dent was originally a verbal to the U prior to changing to FSU...

[JCane]

Yup. Just checked. Vetbaled to us in the summer, the next March he decommits/changes to FSU, and btw is in his 3rd h.s. already as a guy who isn't done til 2019. Sounds like a guy who has no problems with changing commitments for the right reasons..

[Go Canes!!]

Always felt guys who overplay the recruiting game usually end up being inferior players over the long haul to guys who go through the process, commit and go about their business.

Probably not true, but seems like it to me.

It really is awesome to see our coaches pounding the recruiting trail for 2019 kids as other schools are scranlbing to fill this year's class.

Think this is why we've had a such a small number of guys commit to us early then flip.

[CoCane]

But you're impressed with a RB (Lingard) that doesn't have 1 carry in college football yet?

Homer was thrust into a starting role and put up just under 1,000 yards. Only starting 9 games. Oh yeah, he was just a soph.

He won't bigger, faster or better huh? 😩

Lawd have mercy...

[NativeCane]

GC....wait til they turn a 30,000 payment into a 300,000 payment....YOW!!!

[BigWindyCane1]

I agree with Soup that Lingard can start.

If Lingard is not starting against LSU, he might be starting by mid-season. The reason I say this is because seniority doesn't mean as much to this coaching staff as it did for Al Golden. When CMR and Brown came in, they had Joseph Yearby who was a very good 1,000 rusher, but Walton was younger, more talented and a better RB so they started Walton.

When Walton got hurt, Homer and Dallas filled in nicely, but they are as good as Walton. Walton was a difference-maker at the RB position. IMO, Walton would have been a Heisman candidate had he stayed healthy, but we can debate hypotheticals all day.

Lingard has that special talent, but he still has to learn the position. CMR and Brown will not let him sit on the bench if he is a difference-maker at the RB position. RB is the position where freshman can play. Just take a look at the Canes last opponent, Wisconsin. If these coaches realize that they have a special talent that can learn the position, they will play him.

One thing the Canes should have this upcoming season that the Canes did not have this past season is competition at the RB position.

Lingard is tall for a RB, and I think he is a little bigger than his listed weight. Lingard is also very fast, IMO a little faster than Homer and Dallas. Dallas has good instincts as a runner, but I am not sure if that is his permanent position.

Lingard, however, has the athletic ability to make someone miss, slip a tackle and take it to the house. This is the dimension that Walton consistently brought to the position. I think Lingard has that.

I like Burns, but he has not yet proven he can stay healthy. Burns is an athletic freak, but I will not get to thrilled about him until I see that he can stay healthy and learn the position.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Well Fargo employees try and read this blog everyday and have to skim by the same GD slobbering defense of everything posts, as they did when he gagging fatso daily for five straight years while trying to call real bloggers on here out between flounces after losses as they got worse and worse on the scoreboard, while he whined more and more. They're obviously not amused by his shitty attempts at sid-tard talking point distribution either for years and sent him a message to go hang himself for their own enjoyment, time to listen up, GD.

At this rate the recruiting blunder from down under of the basketball team will have his upperclassmen scholarship years rescinded due to pine splinters in his ass. Great news, for the Hurricanes, too bad it took at least two seasons to flush that useless tub of midget crap out of the program however.

Oh yeah, I like what Lingard brings to the table in terms of size. But Homer ain't no slouch either, I like the way He finishes His runs. Frankly, if it wasn't for Homer, we more than likely lose that GT game. And I thought there were a few games where Homer should've gotten more touches...particularly the Wisky game, He only had 12 carries. But I'm defintely lovin' having quality depth at RB again.

[CoCane]

Windy,

But you're expecting Lingard to start and he has proven nothing.

Homer has already proved he can slip tackles and house it on the college level. So has Dallas. Has Lingard?

Lingard is extremely talented. He can come in and start right away. He's that talented. But...

Homer and Dallas aren't far behind in pure talent either.

From what I've seen, Dallas is the most talented in the stable. He has the frame to reach 215-220. He has good speed, can catch and run routes like a WR and is elusive.

Homer caught the ball nicely this year also. When he gets a crack he is gone.

Homer and Dallas will both be sharper in all aspects of the RB position.

I'm just saying there is too much talent and experience to expect Lingard to start as a frosh just because he's talented.

Walton would've been special this year if he stayed healthy. Don't forget how frustrated we got his first 2 years every time he just ran into the pile. The more the game slowed down with experience, the better his vision got.

Let's see what Lingard can do against college players before we crown him phenom...

[His Royal Dudeness]

Posted by: Go Canes!! | January 18, 2018 at 10:46 AM

Why torture me? You know he would guarantee the Coastal again right? After 2 years, we might be level with Clemson.

[His Royal Dudeness]

Posted by: CoCane | January 18, 2018 at 11:04 AM

You think Dallas should go for that weight though, or should he try and be the leanest & meanest 210 he can be so he can Reggie Bush it and play some WR also?

[DeeCane]

I'll be at the Ga. Tech game.... hope to see some of u guys there!!!!

[CoCane]

The people expecting Lingard to start are the same ones that thought Johnson would start a safety as a frosh. Next it was Finley would start at Safety as a frosh. Then, this year Carter was going to come in and start as a frosh. I've already seen posts claiming that a 5'll 175 lb Hall is going to start over all of them.

Oh and Pope at 6'1 175, with no blocking skills and not 1 route run against a college CB will start this year too... Omg

The learning curve is slow as fukk around here

[CoCane]

He was 200-205 this year as a frosh. He can easily get to a lean chiseled 215-220 and get quicker and faster

[Herbieibis]

Hope the new signee is a punter. It only took Feagles 13 games to have one good game punting(Wisconsin).

[Herbieibis]

We have enough xtra ships floating around, with all the departures in the last year to sign another kicker.

[CoCane]

The expectations for Lingard is the same thinking that everyone had for Perry at QB. Where did that get ya? Hoping a 5* frosh is a phenom is cool optimistim. Expecting it is silly considering the evidence...

[Go Canes!!]

Think when you have a guy rated as one of the top 5 running backs in the country it’s ok to have different expectations.

Imo it’s the easiest of all the skill position to transition into, as long as his pass blocking is right.

[Go Canes!!]

Co in the bigger picture think CMR has shown a super talented, Top 50 caliber back is going to get the ball, a lot.

If the past performance can act as a predictor of the future, Lingard will be the man early, even if he is a freshman.

[His Royal Dudeness]

Posted by: CoCane | January 18, 2018 at 11:16 AM

Some people Ive seen want him to play both WR & RB but I dont think he can do that at 220, maybe Im wrong. I think Id like to see him focus at RB rather than back and forth to WR.

[CoCane]

Hope the new signee is a punter. It only took Feagles 13 games to have one good game punting(Wisconsin).

Posted by: Herbieibis | January 18, 2018 at 11:17 AM

Yeah, I am hoping that we recruit a top-rated JC punter or, at least, an experienced grad transfer. This would enable Feagles to gain some more size, strength and seasoning before he is asked to take over the first string punting duties again.

[CaneRock]

Regardless you need quality depth at RB.

If UGA doesn't have Michel & Chubb to take over for an injured Gurley in 14', then what?

If UGA doesn't have Michel to take over for an injured Chubb in 15', then what?

Hell if Chubb didn't get hurt in 15', does Richt keep His job?

If Gore doesn't get hurt in the Spring of 02', then we have Him instead of Payton carrying the rock in the Fiesta Bowl and the game doesn't come down to that bull$h!t @$$ PI.

If that happens it maybe good for Miami. Miami is a destination school. Kids may end up somewhere they hate and say, "F That" then decide they rather play in Miami. It might not be a bad thing for us.

[Terrance Sullivan]

This is a crazy stat that threw me for a loop. Brad Kaaya was sacked 25 times in 2016. Malik Rosier was sacked 27 times in 2017. Both QB's started and played all 13 games in each season. Whoever is the QB in 2018 don't need to get sacked 25 times or more. That's also on the Offensive Line having to get better.

LOL. So true! RB is the one position that a talented freshman can play at a high level immediately. Walton from Booker T. was better than Yearby from Central, even in high school. As a Cane, Walton played better when CMR and Brown arrived, then moved him into the starting lineup ahead of the upper classman, Yearby. Brown and CMR will play the best RB.

^^^ I dont think Homer is letting Lingard take his job the year he's probably thinking about jumping. We will see.

The rumor is that Campbell will OV on Feb. 2nd.

If that happens it maybe good for Miami. Miami is a destination school. Kids may end up somewhere they hate and say, "F That" then decide they rather play in Miami. It might not be a bad thing for us.

So Hillview, recruits could sign with $EC school, score their bag money and a sports car, then transfer to the U and enjoy South Beach instead of some brown water lake at Podunk State University....?

I am very hopeful that Homer & Dallas will keep our young 5* to only about 10-15 carries per game. First I dont believe in our OL yet and second we need him with as few miles as possible for his JR year where he can carry us to a title with *JR Burns and *SO Davis, and at least 3 other 4* RBs in the stable.

If we can land the AH4 CB turns into a real strong group, that can sort out depth in a hurry.

1. **** SR Jackson
2. **** SO Bandy
3. *** JR Young
4. ***** FR Surtain
5. ***** FR Campbell
6. **** FR Frierson
7. **** FR Ivey

Hopefully Ivey & Frierson would redshirt and contribute a bunch the next year having developed in the slow cooker. Campbell & Surtain would of course jump the guys we have by the end of the season. 2019 would give use a CB group that is young and super talented.

1. ***** SO Surtain
2. ***** SO Campbell
3. **** JR Bandy
4. *** SR Young
5. **** *FR Frierson
6. **** *FR Ivey

Thats a deeeeeep group. Could be the nations best dime package.
