Because I Said So: The Offense Is Great!

The Miami Hurricanes know they need to do better.
 
No one wearing orange and green is shying away from the disappointing loss at Virginia. Instead, the Canes have come back hungry to improve on their deficiencies in advance of the second half of the season.
 
"This week has been a better week for the offense, as a whole," quarterback Malik Rosier said. "I think the big thing that we learned was that we need to come out and execute every play. Two weeks ago, we didn't have a good practice, but the last two weeks the ones, twos and even the threes have been dominating." 
 

The improvement in practice has Miami's offense feeling good after a tough showing at Virginia. The Hurricanes have been much more consistent in practice and wide receiver Mike Harley believes that will translate to success on Friday.
 
"Just being consistent on a daily basis, we dominated the week so far," Harley said. "Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays, no days off. We look good. I feel like we are going to have a great game this week."
 

Freshman tight end Brevin Jordan is impressed with the reinvigorated Canes' attack and how it has responded to adversity since falling at UVA. 

"That loss to Virginia, it kind of fell on our shoulders," Jordan said. "The defense held them to less than 200 yards, three turnovers, and the offense didn't show up, we didn't come to perform. In that week overall, we didn't have the best week of practice. We had to stop in the middle and do up-downs, so this week we came out and we did pretty good."

Friday will serve as Boston College's Red Bandana Game honoring Welles Crowther, who is remembered for his heroics during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Canes expect a highly motivated Eagles team, as well as a raucous crowd in the stands, when they team the field at Alumni Stadium.
 
"I know since they've been doing this game, they haven't lost," Rosier said. "For them, it's almost a pride thing and as it is, it's hard to go in someone else's home and beat them and then you add this game where it's a very emotional game for them so they're going to come out fired up. We have to be able to execute."
 

The Canes and Eagles will be playing in frigid temperatures on Friday night, as forecasts indicate that it will be in the upper-30s when the game kicks off. But Rosier and the Hurricanes are not concerned with the weather. They have the necessary equipment and mindset to succeed at Boston College.
 
"For me, I don't think cold is the biggest issue," Rosier said. "I've played in a little bit of cold weather. The biggest issue sometimes is when you're up in northern areas, it's dry air and the ball gets slick. Sometimes you'll see quarterbacks licking their fingers because we're just trying to get moisture and trying to get that grip on the ball. Coach Richt has done a great job. We're going to be wearing tights, I'll have hand warmers, the heated benches, so we have no excuses why cold will be a factor. That's not even an excuse." 

Rosier will be under center for the Hurricanes and the fifth-year senior brings experience and maturity to Miami's offense. Senior Tyree St. Louis is confident Rosier will excel at leading the Canes' offense.

"This is his fifth year here, it's my fourth year playing with him and second year as a starter, so just the most experience he has," St. Louis said. "He has pretty good leadership, as all the other quarterbacks do, he is a bit different because he has been here, he knows all the guys, he knows all the calls, he knows everything."

"The offense flows a little bit better, just because of the experience that he has," St. Louis said. "Whether it be making the calls, or getting things lined up, or hitting certain targets, things flow a little easier."

All I know is that I am sad and tired.

Rosier is back. I feel SO much better.

They'll play two QB's.

This, some of y'all need to put the pitchforks down!...Cote:

"So, if I have this right, Perry posting a video pictured with a pile of cash that isn’t his gets “the image is not good,,” but teammates flaunting comically oversized jewelry designed to look costly is celebrated, not scorned. Hmm.

Don’t get me wrong. What Perry did was just a freshman’s lapse in judgment that should not have him on public trial or suggest anything about his future or ability to rise above and be the great college QB many see in him. Likewise I love the Turnover Chain, which has spawned imitators across the country

The weird dichotomy, for me, is that one gets sanitized from social media and brings a reprimand while the other gets famous as a rallying cry — when both are the same thing, really.

If you love the Turnover Chain — the look of it, the audacity of it — don’t go all self-righteous and pretend the Perry video is an outrage. Because they are more similar than they are opposite.

They both are Canes swagger, personified. They are vintage attitude, in your face. Each is a time-honored little echo of what makes The U The U."

Is it me or does it feel richt is losing control? Putting rosier in; losing on top recruits; decommittments; still not looking in the mirror in regards to his shitty offense and his terrible qb coach; his lack of special teams detail; continued losses to inferior teams; etc etc
Need cristobol quick as long as he keeps Diaz and makes him asst HC!
Jmo but I have no confidence we will beat VT, BC, or even GT at this time

[Terrance Sullivan]

LMAO at Needing Cristobal Yea Okay. Cristobal equals Taggart nothing more nothing less.

[DallasTX Cane]

What Perry did was silly & stupid because it singles him out ( Turnover Chain is a Team Thing) and shows the world his head “ain’t in the game” at a time when he could be taking control as the undisputed leader of the team (offense anyway). Given his performance on the field, that time should’ve been spent studying the playbook (can’t be THAT tough a read) or getting extra practice in with the WRs. Or just studying - players are supposedly students of other things than football aren’t they?

Lay off the players. What do you want them to say?... we/I suck, there’s no leadship, I plan on playing like crap, there’s no hope, I plan on losing... ?!? U want them to openly, publically criticize their coach(es) in the media?? C’mon be real. Coaches gonna coach-speak. Players gonna player-speak. They’re damned if they do and now damned if they don’t.

I’d personally prefer they say nothing and just play better on the field. I said after Game 1 this team needs a leader. The D has players that stepped up into that role. The O not so much. But it’s stil disingenuous to call the players out for talking positive.

No doubt!!!

[BigWindyCane1]

There is a long history of premier programs coming to South Florida and cherry picking high level recruits. The Canes can’t get everyone, but need to get their fair share.

The recent recruits who chose Alabama over Miami: DT Brandon Ingraham, CB Patrick Surtain II, WR Jerry Jeudy. WR Xavier Williams, and DB Josh Jobe. A very impressive group. The Canes can start swinging these players, it can compete with anyone.

I think the Canes under CMR are doing better than there were under Golden and Shannon, but they aren’t yet at the point where they can put up a fence around South Florida.

Ingraham has had a strong relationship with Coach Kul, so that didn’t help. The loss at Virginia didn’t help. But Jess Simpson is doing a great job developing talent, so we will have to see if we will have to see how the next two recruiting classes pan out.

[TonyCane]

If anything, the turnover chain symbolizes the over the top nature of traditional Canes football. I haven’t seen the picture, but sitting with piles of cash has less to do with excess and swagger, and makes me think of bagmen and “mentors”. The type of excreable tactics used by Alabama that they are immune too - NICK SABAN LEASES CARS TO HIS PLAYERS AND THERE IS NOT A PEEP IN THE MEDIA - but a violation that could bring Miami football down. It instantly brought to mind those three Alabama players who on Signing Day posed with wads of cash. Again, since it was Alabama it was met with little interest. If it was Miami, it would be calls for an investigation and declarations we should cancel our season.

Miami players have to be smarter than that.

Meanwhile, I make no connection to the cash and the turnover chain.

[ColaCane]

It's not going to be as cold as originally thought. Highs in the 50's and lows in the 40's. Rosier is the qb, back him, because this is a HUGE game, and what's the point in negging out? He may just show everyone CMR made the RIGHT choice. Hell, we know he has wheels, and I's just bet he gets a score or 2 running it. Regardless, we NEED this one.

Don't get distracted by the latest shiny object. Instead do something productive and post what your opinion is of the big picture because I already know basically where Willie Coke and Sinister are at regarding it right now? Keep it 100% now of course . . .

Agreed. We are talking about Cote though not Canerock LOL. I mean this is two totally separate things.

Thanks for all the agreement with my prior Perry post. Ugh, I was soooo mad when I saw that video. The turnover chain is there for the defenders who earn it.

[CGNC]

I am backing Trick or Treat Malik for this game, hope OC CMR gives him some plays that will help him.

Go Canes

[UMike]

What Perry did may have been immature, but he didn't do anything wrong. With the spotlight always on Miami it wasn't a good look, but he wasn't driving this car and for all we know he had no more than $200 lol

[BigWindyCane1]

On Friday night, Carol City (#12 in the nation) plays Miami Central (#4 in the nation) at Traz Powell on Friday. I guess I will have to monitor the Canes game and post here from my phone.

Miami Central (Donaldson and Yearby's alma Mater) and ranked higher than Carol City (Choc and CamRon Davis alma mater). Carol City has been dominant so far this season. Carol City has Canes Commit 2019 CB Jarvis Brownlee, who has been an outstanding cover corner. The other Carol City Canes commit, 2020 DE Samuel Anaele, is a Jon Garvin-type athlete, but has only played in 1-2 games this season, and I don't think he is playing Friday. I also don't believe former Canes commit, Denzel Daxon is playing either.

Hopefully, it will be good news for the Canes all night.

There was about $4,000 there.

I said the same thing a week ago about seeing two quarterbacks this game.
I think Richt will do something with #5 if only to bring his confidence up.

If they don’t show up with some new wrinkles after that performance last Thursday I’m going to lose it.

No one said it was WRONG, but you are a QB and supposed leader of the Canes. Cannot do that. Plus it shows severe lack of maturity. He is not 14.

The players should practice and prepare at least as hard as the fans prepare and tailgate. I am tired of some players thinking the U is some kind of club destination.

[CGNC]

Go, me too. Haha Roll him out, roll him out...play in the 2 minute drill the whole game. Whatever it takes.

[ColaCane]

Roll outs, quick slants (ESPECIALLY), screens, and you know what, a PITCHOUT wouldn't hurt either, since we seem to only run up the gut. Just dink and dunk, taking what they give, THEN you can drop a deep one, not EVERY pass! It'll also get him more comfortable.

Just because he posted a short video with cash in his hand doesn't me he is or isn't prepared. That isn't proof he isn't practicing hard or dedicated. It showed a moment of immaturity but that's it, imo.

Dude, from the video I saw it was impossible to tell how much money was there and what all the bills were.

[Go Canes!!]

When you’ve already been suspended, there are maturity rumors swirling about you and you just threw two picks in six passes and got benched, posting that video was an incredibly dumb thing to do.

[Dude on a Pale Horse]

Posted by: UMike | October 24, 2018 at 02:37 PM

The one you saw may have lower quality. The one I saw was the original and all those bills were $100s. All of em.

[solarcane]

The only college qb in recent memory
that could shoot the money video, then come out on Friday night and toss maybe 3 tds and run for another one would be Johnny Football. He had that blend of immaturity,arrogance, raw talent, and I dont give a fug,I'm Johnny Football attitude.

I'm not saying that's good, I'm just pointing out that he was stupid enough and talented enough to pull it off.

[solarcane]

The Chaminade-Madonna-to-Coral Gables pipeline is only getting stronger.

Lions 2021 running back Thaddius Franklin committed to the Hurricanes on Wednesday, announcing his decision on his Twitter account.

ADVERTISEMENT

Franklin, who has racked up 856 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns through eight games this season, chose Miami over several other big-time offers he recently received, including Florida State, Georgia and Penn State.

Several of his teammates at Chaminade are also committed to the Hurricanes, including senior defensive backs Te’Cory Couch and Keontra Smith, senior defensive lineman Cameron Williams and junior offensive lineman Willie Moise.

Franklin is Miami’s fifth commit in the 2021 class. American Heritage defensive back James Williams, a five-star prospect and the No. 15 player in the class, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking, is also in the class.

[Gin & Tonic]

The Canes are 5-5 in the last 10 games played.

Throw out the Savannah State game and these are the scoring averages over those games.

PA 24.78

Posted by: UMike | October 24, 2018 at 02:37 PM

Do you think he looked prepared against FSU? or Virginia?

[UMike]

CGNC... Against UVA not so much, he did lead a come back win against FSU. All I'm saying is one dumb video doesn't prove that. I'm not disagreeing with you guys about it being stupid, just saying it doesn't prove those things. The UVA game is more on CMR hen Perry.

[mi@mic@ne]

Being immature does not have anything to do with losing. When we were dominating the entire team wore military fatigues to the bowl game..,,,what about the turnover chain? Perry did the same thing by showing off the money he earned. When we were a dynasty JJ and Erickson and Butch were always defending the team about the complaints of the egg heads that they did not appreciate the swagger...Richt jumps on a player for immaturity and we are losing...Maybe he represents the dark side and we would be better off with the Butch who the egg heads did not like.

[mi@mic@ne]

Football is artistic.....each player has different gifts...you cannot pigeon hole players in a scheme.....how do you play your best..you got to do it your way as long as your within the play....perry got to play his style and Richt needs to change the offense to fit it

[mi@mic@ne]

We lost because our qb gave the ball away the entire game...we beat them in all areas and we almost won at the end in spite of all the interceptions.

[mi@mic@ne]

Perry thought Richt was too conservative so he changed the play....we all agree..so Richt needs to figure out how to help Perry become successful...speed the offense up..spread the field

[mi@mic@ne]

I dont think Perry is a pure pocket qb...he is more of a rpo guy

Roll call for GT game? tSully I got tix and Student center parking, should be about 8 of us.
