The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

We came, we saw, we got massacred Texas Chain Saw style. 

That was the story of your Miami Hurricanes visit to AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas on the Sunday before Labor Day.

The stadium was as beautiful as advertised but the LSU Tigers mauled Miami and won convincingly 33-17 in a totally lopsided affair.

The game was basically close until the end of the first quarter but was never in doubt beyond that as Miami simply could not score.

Blood and guts were everywhere and it was not pretty as the Hurricanes got sawed up big time in "The Big D".

The same old UM offense under Mark Richt showed up and stunk up the place in another hapless and pitiful performance. They had no clue what to do or how to do it and looked lost and confused. Every phase of the offense was poor.

The Miami defense also did not hold up their end of the bargain as they got beat physically and mentally over and over again. The vaunted and often feared turnover chain never made it out of its carrying case, and as a result, the momentum never swung for the Hurricanes.

It was a horrible game and a horrible way to waste a couple thousand dollars on supporting what has now appears to be a bad investment.

Based on this performance, here is what we think about the current situation and what should happen now:

1. Richt is an average head coach and has not lived up to the hype (his team was completely unprepared).
2. Richt is a below average offensive coordinator (his play calling and the offensive execution were awful).
3. His son should be fired at QB coach tomorrow. He hasn't done anything for anybody.
4. QB Malik Rosier is not good. He is inaccurate and inconsistent at best and has regressed since last year.
5. The offensive line is itself offensive and their coach should be fired yesterday. Weakest link on the team.
6. The Canes should go for it on fourth down and whatever because their punter and special teams are embarrassing. 
7. The defense needs to go back to basics and stop telegraphing their blitzes before the snap.
8. The fans, cheerleaders and band are the best part of this "team".

This nonsense needs to stop and stop now. Otherwise this season will be lost, and this team will regress once again.

And that is simply too much to take for the Hurricane faithful who spend BIG money to celebrate their team, not to suffer humiliation.

Tres Comas.

Dam. Hard to argue with that blog.

[nemo2002]

No turnover chain - no win.

[Herbieibis]

U forgot to mention our sorry ass punter, Feagles. The 11 penalties. Telegraphing every blitz u bring. I get that no game is perfect but when u fail at 90% of it u got a major malfunction.
It's like I said last week, playing on the road is an albetros for us. It's like we get dam stage freight.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Big Facts!

[His Majesty The Dude on High]

Mark Richt's Awfense.

[Hassan]

It is not as bad as you think but we blew it no doubt. Our coaching IQ is low. We are not innovators there at all. It is not required but you also can't be telegraphing everything and win with bad QB play.

[raizecane]

I'm sure after a win this week, all will be right (gagging).....

Going to be an interesting next couple of weeks.

[Old Skool]

I don't know that the entire offense stank it up. From what I saw the wide receivers were getting open. Unfortunately, our QB either acts like a point guard throwing bounce passes or alley oops or else doesn't have time to throw period

[Go Canes!!]

[SOUP]

Offense is about scoring.

When it mattered we could only muster 3 points.

That sucks. Period.

[DallasTX Cane]

When DL > OL, QB & receivers must step up. QB didn’t.

When QB is off or just average, the OL & RB must step up. Neither did.

Again, the O looked decent to good Q1. But the team is mentally soft. When a few bad things happened - missed FG, crap punt, LSU big play... both O & D imploded. 11 penalties?!? How many negated a 1st down or good play? How many gave LSU a 1st down?? U can win 8-10 games playing this way but it won’t work with the big dogs.

[Mark from Atl]

Didn’t see 1 second of this shit show
Was on vacation - apparently our entire team was also

33-3 only stat I needed to read
Disgusting
God bless you and your family
Dare I say it....go Canes

[THE MAN]

This team makes everything look difficult. The trend these days is to outsmart the other coach. How about outsmarting them by being efficient, simple and adjust. Makes no sense to have 5-7 step QB drop backs when the O line can't protect. Makes no sense to throw jump balls to the shortest receiver they have (JT) then throw deep to (LC). How about try simple throws and get the ball into the real play makers hands. How about not blitz from the outside every time. Why not up the middle in the QB's face? So many simple adjustments that can be made, but aren't. Disappointing.

[WWIN]

Great post Soup!

Your #1-8 was spot on

[WWIN]

Here's a list of players that can be excused from blame vs lsu...

Jeff Thomas
Gerald Willis
Deejay Dallas
Brian Hightower

[86Cane]

The coach then continued, when asked if Miami was considering making a change at punter, “Heck no. He’s our guy, man. Look, we have guys on our team that can punt, OK? And we practice punt every single day. And don’t you think that if we thought somebody was better than him we’d play him over Feagles? Yeah, we would. Right now every day is competition. We don’t just rep our ones. We never do that. We always rep ones and twos. Every day somebody is battling to take your job. He’s our guy. Feagles is going to be fine, trust me."

That's all you need to know right there.

We are not stupid you know?

When and how many reps the freshmen get going forward will determine my feelings about what’s going on.

[CaneRock]

Gauthier making the line calls now is telling in more than one way. Assuming Gauthier can read the 1st & 2nd levels of the defense, then all Malik has to worry about is reading the DBs. Either way, it's all on Malik now, no excuses.

But I'ma ride with my dawg till the wheels fall off, unlike WWIN who seems to have jumped ship on me...in my Morgan Freeman voice from Lean On Me, "You droppin' out on me huh?".

[TruCane81]

Best 22 gotta play.

Upperclassmen are making freshman mistakes.

Might as well let the freshen make freshman mistakes.

And no more mass subs in the first half. I thought our conditioning program was top notch now.

This is why Richt was like number 5 or 6 on my list of candidates when AG got himself canned. I said, and I almost quote myself, "Richt is interesting in that hes decent enough to recruit Miami well enough to do some damage in the Coastal and perhaps well enough to establish Miami in the ACC. Once we get there, perhaps without the likes of Bama, Florida and LSU, maybe he can win enough to get a bunch of 4 and 5 stars to compete." Im not surprised at all with where we are. Hiring Richt was always about the long game.

[WWIN]

Posted by: CaneRock | September 06, 2018 at 01:10 PM

😂😂😂

I still believe our QB problem is in this order...

1. CMR
2. CMRJR
3. Rosier

Rosier was better 3yrs ago!

But at this point he can't afford to miss those passes he missed vs lsu... we have too many options now, too many players need to touch the ball. He'll get another chance tho starting Saturday

[WWIN]

[TruCane81]

Posted by: CaneRock | September 06, 2018 at 01:10 PM

You smoke crack, don’t you boy? DON’T YOU SMOKE CRACK?

Best movie ever.

Seriously though, I ain’t give up on Malik after the three game slide. Hell, he made me look like a real tool with my lof pick. But I drunk the kool aid about him improving. I figured they were doing the things in the off season that got him a scholarship offer in the first place. But Sunday’s debacle proved NOTHING has changed.

When you watch his hs tape, he is really good at play action quick throws and roll outs. Yeah he will miss those too, but not like he does throwing from the pocket on five step drop. When we ran play action quick throws on run downs, he was successful. But like always, we abandoned it for the bomb. Did we roll him out at all?

Passes over 8 yards have to be COMPLETELY off the table in the first half if you start him. It don’t matter if JT is 20 yards open, if Malik throws it deep early in the game, bench him.

Our mission on offense has to be manufacturing 3rd and 4 or less and then making a strong play call. Malik converts 3rd downs with his legs when it ain’t to far. That’s our strength, it ain’t sexy but we can manufacture first downs and time of possession even with his SEVERE passing limitations.

Triple option, speed option, end around, middle screen, tight end screen. I ain’t even scratched the surface of the strategies available that we just ignore.

Malik fell apart because instead of naturally doing things he does well regularly, he has to think about doing the things he sucks at under tons of pressure.

I have never seen a staff so determined to hang a struggling qb out to dry. When you combine his inability to read defense with what he said about no coaching adjustments for the blitz, you see we got bigger problems than just missed throws.

We look complacent in all phases, and you all know what I have to say about where that complacency comes from.

[His Majesty The Dude on High]

Posted by: TruCane81 | September 06, 2018 at 02:04 PM

I fully support moving on from Malik. Its time for Perry or Weldon to sink or swim. Here's my thing, if we lost to LSU so be it, that in itself is not a reason to pull him, but where we are now Malik is an absolute liability. I would not feel comfortable putting him out there against GT, let alone FSU or VT which are now must win games. Perry or Weldon have to start getting game reps because even their HS coaches could get them to make those throws to Jordan. Lets not kid ourselves into thinking Richt's Awfense is just too complicated for them, lol. There are no audibles or motion looks in this Awfense. Its reading the safety and a throw, hopefully the can feel the pressure and not get happy feet. Sorry, but watching Perry in practice, he is waaaaay more accurate than Rosier. Rosier can have the 1st qtr. 2nd qtr should belong to Perry or Weldon. If they do well, they should get the 3rd qtr also. If not, bring in the next guy to take the 3rd & 4th if he does well. If everyone does terrible, bring in Williams for the 4th.

[CGNC]

Posted by: His Majesty The Dude on High | September 06, 2018 at 02:27 PM

Yeeesssssssss

[ColaCane]

If we just STOP with the freaking long bombs EVERYTIME we Rosier drops back, and concentrate on the short/midrange throws, it'll open up the deep ball more often. The blitzing, draw plays, screens, quick slants, I mean just so many things we didn't do. However, it's ONE game, and if you're gonna lose, lose early, and lose to a good team, because drumming some FCS team 54-0 doesn't tell you ANYTHING about your team. Trying to be optimistic here, and know we still have time to correct things. Hopefully CMR will do just that?

[His Majesty The Dude on High]

Posted by: ColaCane | September 06, 2018 at 02:32 PM

Have you seen Rosier try to complete midrange passes? They often go for pick-sixes. Richt's Awfense could be way more friendly to Rosier, but asking a coach to change for the sake of winning at Miami must be an NCAA violation these days? Doesnt matter though if he cant hit the wide open TE. And when I say wide open, I mean you should see the pictures.

[TruCane81]

Posted by: His Majesty The Dude on High | September 06, 2018 at 02:27 PM

I’m all for benching Malik instead of making him the most hated man in Caneland and destroying morale.

But we WON’T bench him!

Also, we see how they throwing Malik to the wolves with ZERO help. You think they gonna help the freshman who can actually throw the ball?

There will be much of the same problems with a sub. We will probably just end up trading a few extra completions for Tony Romo type meltdowns.

Thing is the coaching blunders are SO TERRIBLE, I can’t even criticize the players because I don’t know how good or bad they are because our scenes and game prep are so inconsistent.

[TruCane81]

On the bright side, we may have our best ever pass catching tight end.

Brevin is AWESOME!

We gotta get a qb. With JT on the team, Brevin will be open forever more.

[TruCane81]

Cola, it gotta be short, at least until we get Malik rolling early. He can’t hit medium.

But any shot to develop that was squandered in the spring and summer.

The team is turning on him and it’s a damn shame because it didn’t have to be like this.

It’s time to move on and it’s a shame. I think the kid could have given us some good, though unconventional, offense.

[SOUP]

0-7 on third downs at one point. Let that sink in.

This was a SPECIFIC area for improvement and we still suck. That and RED ZONE offense. Dawg crap.

[SOUP]

Wait, wait, wait...did somebody just mention Tony Romo on Canespace?

[DallasTX Cane]

[TruCane81]

Fast cars, crooked cops, and a ape.

Rip, Burt.

[DallasTX Cane]

BTW - Nothing was necessary vs LSU to “open up” the long ball. WRs were open all game. “Open” vs a good to very good college defense is still a tight throw 90% of the time. We had many chances to hit on plays downfield, and did on several. But we missed on many more.

[WWIN]

Posted by: CGNC | September 06, 2018 at 02:22 PM

He played one game vs Duke when Kaaya was injured

[CaneRock]

I don't mind the long throws, I just have a problem with the long throws to the wrong people. The 2 long throws He missed to Cager, Cager got absolutely no seperation. And IMHO, consistently running Thomas across the field & on those lil' quick outs is wasting His ability.

Thomas's speed converts Cover-2's into Cover-3's, and opens everything up underneath.

[MLAlumni1970]

I hope "Smokey and the Bandit" will be playing on TV. for old times sake. Burt Reynolds was the best, in that he was talented, quirky, handsome, and represented all of us back then who prided on being independent, opinionated, free spirits etc.
I think he was a republican, politically, which doesn't matter. It just didn't fit with his character. He was a hell of a man and I will miss him, as a man, an actor, an American, AND AS THE BANDIT!

The most important thing now are the CANES. Same old, same old. I get so hyped when the season begins. and get deflated so soon in the season. Give me some HOPE, all my CANESPACERS.

[His Majesty The Dude on High]

Posted by: CaneRock | September 06, 2018 at 04:36 PM

So does AR82 with a good QB, which in turn could find JT4 with a bunch of space to run underneath. Personally, with the sh*t QB play we have, I think it would be smart to move AR82 closer to the QB, move the big WRs (LC18, DL81, EN83 & BT7) outside so that if the safeties caution to the speedy playmakers, then we get a 1 vs 1 jump ball, and hope our guys come down with it. Idk, I'm just trying to make lemonade out of this Awfense.

[AeroCane]

When and how many reps the freshmen get going forward will determine my feelings about what’s going on.

Yep!
Most importantly qb.
But I really don’t think it matters until we get a real OC!

Why schedule a team Like Savanna St? What a joke.
By the way somebody mentioned some 4 and 5 stars coming to save us hasn't paid to much attention to the verbal for 2019. A bunch of 3's and about 6- 4s.
We need some serious star power at Lb. Do we have one true 4 star on the roster? Quarterman maybe on some sites.
Rosier should be playing for a team like Nichlas ST. Not starting at Miami and if he is what we have to show for the last 5 years of recruiting we are in serious trouble. Playing a team like this will only give u a false sense of security. This would be a good game to let nothing but the freshman and sophomore play and no one else.

[MLAlumni1970]

What is the line for Saturday's game?? Kind of hesitant to ask. Tell me, we are NOT going to lose this game. What are you experts thinking about the Toledo game, the one that I am going to.

KY Cane...no, the abberation is now, where assistant coaches in some cases make more than Al Golden’s salary. Where schools spent hundreds of millions of dollars not on stadiums, but on athletic facilities for the exclusive use of players. Miami chose not to compete when it came to this arms race and fell into mediocrity because of it - and yes there will be the argument that Miami was frugal in its national championship years - but there is a difference between being frugal and being cheap.

[Old Skool]

Preseason stuck in the middle of the season or a scrimmage?

To use a wrestling equivalent...Savannah State is The Brooklyn Brawler. And Miami would be Brock Lesnar.

Miami needed to play a clean game against LSU, it did not.

They have the tools to succeed this year, but they must figure out how to play away from S. Florida.

Then you will be disappointed Willie

[Harry Miller]

I was one of the fools that picked Rosier because I believed what Richt said about Rosier improving, guess I won't fall for that line again.

I didn't waste as munch $$'s as most did going to the game because I had to travel their any way.
A group of about fifteen Cane fans that invited Millie and I to set with them at their tailgate party before the game spent about $10k shipping their van loaded with food, drinks, tickets and etc. were lived after the game. I was never so disappointed in a Canes game as I was it this game.

I am sick of Rosier and believe Mark Richt should start the best back up we have no matter who it is while we have a weak schedule for the next few games. That's it period. I believe in "what do we have to gain and what do we have to loose. We may have a lot more to gain then we have to loose. This is the time to just do it.

Oh, one more thing, get a offensive coordinator that knows what he is doing.

I will be 78 years old Sept, 30 and would like to see us win a championship before I go to Heaven.

[WWIN]

Disappointed in what?

You still don't get it... I been telling you that the you should be mad at CMR about the QB position not Rosier

[Sarasota 'cane]

I hope to run into a few of you all tomorrow at Hard Rock. I'm in the green lot and I'm gonna try to be there in time for the Cane Walk.

I think the two backups should each get to play a quarter tomorrow, but I'm not sure they'll fare much better against better teams if there isn't a seismic change on the o-line. Anywho I need to see the Canes win in person to shake some of the funk off. Talk to you all later!

I am not mad at Rosier. I don't get mad at people I get disappointed in them not mad. How could I be mad at someone who gives all he has in him to win.
Rosier gives his all, he just doesn't have the accuracy that he needs, it's a shame he has everything else, desire, toughness, mental attitude, he does every thing he is asked to do.
He could do better if he was given the right plays to call by someone who knew what they were doing and get the best out of what he has to offer. He would then be much better off. But he doesn't and that's that. I love the guy for how hard he tries.

Now, I am really disappointed CMR for not realizing he is not a good offensive coordinator or play caller. He should give it up.

This is my opinion and yes I do get it. This will be my last comment on this.

Harry, we pretty much squandered ANY shot to make Malik servicable.

It’s time to move on.

The reason so many of us are way more pissed with Richt than Malik can be found in this one of many examples.......

Remember when Malik walked into the end zone basically untouched? We were in empty set with Travis in slot. We put Travis in motion. The motion confused the defense and got several defenders moving with Travis. We faked the handoff and Malik scored easy when we have struggled like HELL in short yardage and goal line.

Now imagine that same concept, but instead of empty set put Travis in the backfield and replace him with Dj in the slot. You get the same pressure and uncertainty on the defense but now you have the option for a pitch or handoff to Travis. Then, you can build play action passes off the same play. This is why spread is so deadly. There are too many possibilities to cover and with one mistake, BIG PLAY! This is how you make a bunch of plays look like one play, putting immense pressure of the defense.

That play was creative offense at it’s finest and beautiful to watch. Why we gotta be down 30 points to run it? Now look at the lazy vanilla offense we been running and struggling with. There are many, many more ways too fool the defense and make them uncomfortable while playing to Malik’s strength (or lesser weakness).

But Richt ain’t doing it and it makes him look lazy, complacent, and unaware.

This is why I am so hard on Richt personally. He has the ability to get more from whoever is under center. We know because HE HAS DONE IT. But instead, he force feeds concepts that don’t match the teams skills.

Good offensive coordinators take what the defense give them. Great ones dictate to the defense. We don’t do much of either.

😂😂😂

I still believe our QB problem is in this order...

1. CMR
2. CMRJR
3. Rosier

Rosier was better 3yrs ago!

But at this point he can't afford to miss those passes he missed vs lsu... we have too many options now, too many players need to touch the ball. He'll get another chance tho starting Saturday
Good Luck with that. Rosier is pure sanitation and so it CMR for playing him. Might as well ride with the freshmen if this is what we get with Rosier. DUH
