The Miami Hurricanes are set for their annual tussle against Georgia Tech.
Saturday's game presents a unique challenge against a physical triple option offense that the Canes are mentally and physically prepared to face.
"It's two things, really," Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. "One, tactically being ready for everything they have which is going to be different from what you do week in and week out. And secondly, and probably more importantly, it's your attitude and being ready to match them, and to match their toughness, and to match their physicality. It's a game where you certainly have to have your tactics right, but it is still a blocking and tackling day at the office, and the team that blocks better or the team that defeats blocks better and tackles better versus the team that breaks tackles better usually wins."
The Yellow Jackets lead FBS in rushing offense, averaging 377 yards per game on the ground. They are also among the nation's leaders in time of possession, ranking fifth at 34:28 per game.
"Last ballgame, [Tobias] Oliver, who, at least in that game, was second-team quarterback, rushed for 120 yards and 2 TDs," Miami head coach Mark Richt said. "He had the game-winning score and also threw an 86-yard touchdown pass in the game. They rushed for 461 yards in the game, which is kind of a typical offensive performance for them, rushing for something about 400 yards a game and controlling the clock."
Because of their offensive scheme, opposing defenses need to be physically and mentally prepared for a grueling battle.
"Sometimes it's mental conditioning, to not lose your poise," Diaz said. "Like you said, they can be out there for quite a while. They're going to huddle, they are not going to go fast, it's not going to be hot outside, but sometimes you get mentally worn down, and something you were reading early on, and all of a sudden your eyes, your mind starts to slow down. Your feet may be willing, but your mind is where the fatigue really sets in."
Defensive back Michael Jackson has faced off against Georgia Tech several times in his career and he knows what the Canes need to do on defense if they want to succeed on Saturday.
"Just the mentality that you have to be physical, especially at corner," Jackson said. "Us corners have to be physical and tackle. It's not a cute game. You're going to be dirty. You're going to be sore after the game. You're going to be banging all game and look up and it's only the third quarter and you have to keep banging. It's just a physical mindset."
The phrase "assignment football" is frequently heard when a team is facing Georgia Tech. With their triple option offense, Miami's defenders need to be very disciplined with every snap.
"They do a lot of option," defensive back Trajan Bandy said. "They do a lot of cutting and everything happens so fast. You have to keep your eye on your man because you never know when they might do a trick play, he might spit it out or he might have the ball. You never know, so we just have to have eye discipline on everything."
The battle upfront is especially tough, as Georgia Tech's offensive linemen will continually try to cut bock Miami's defensive line. Gerald Willis III, who leads the ACC in tackles for loss, believes the Canes are ready to face the GT ground attack.
"We're up for the challenge like every other week," Willis said. "We just have to get ready for the cut blocks and these double teams, but we're ready."
BWC...we got this!

He idolizes David Njoku, so this tight end recruit feels good about Canes after visit
BY DAVID WILSON
November 08, 2018 03:18 PM
Jalen Wydermyer’s official visit with the Miami Hurricanes was a weekend of firsts for the three-star tight end from Dickinson, Texas. It was Wydermyer’s first official visit and his first ever trip to South Florida. He ate gator and lobster for the first time. And, for the first time, Miami got to layout exactly the vision it has for the senior.
From afar — and with one trip to Texas — Todd Hartley has tried to illustrate what he envisions the 6-5, 240-pound receiver potentially doing at Miami.
“Probably the most impressive thing of the whole visit,” Wydermyer said earlier this week after returning home from his visit, “was he sat me down and showed me film. He didn’t tell me what he’d do with me. He showed me.”
Hartley has always alluded to Wydermyer potentially filling the void the Hurricanes have struggled to since tight end David Njoku left for the NFL following the 2016 season. This weekend, the tight ends coach showed Wydermyer exactly what he means.
Hartley began by showing Wydermyer film of when Njoku and fellow tight end Chris Herndon both played key roles in 2016. Herndon, a relatively undersized receiver, could play a variety of roles near the offensive line, which gave the Hurricanes the flexibility to use Njoku as either a traditional in-line tight end or as a super-sized wide receiver. Hartley then showed Wydermyer how he uses tight ends this year — Brevin Jordan plays the old Herndon role, but the Hurricanes still don’t have anyone they can use regularly in Njoku’s old role.
Miami already has one tight end committed in the Class of 2019 with Larry Hodges, a three-star prospect from Tampa Jesuit. Hodges comes in the Jordan or Herndon mold. Wydermyer would get a chance at becoming the next Njoku, which is meaningful to Wydermyer.
“I told Coach, ‘I want to do the exact same thing y’all did with David Njoku,’” Wydermyer said. “I looked up to David Njoku a lot, watching him at Miami. He was just an idol in college, so I keep up with him in the NFL and stuff like that. ‘I want y’all to do the exact same thing y’all did with him.’”
Wydermyer expected some pitch like this. He didn’t, however, expect the campus to be like it is.
Wydermyer has thought about the Hurricanes since he was young because his father grew up a Miami fan. Wydermyer even did a research paper about the university when he was young, but he still didn’t quite understand the distinction between Miami and Coral Gables until he spent the weekend in Florida. Appealingly, the school still feels like a traditional college.
“Me and my parents had a stereotype going into Miami. It’s a huge college, it’s right in the center of Miami, it’s a party city, blah, blah blah and when we got there, it wasn’t in Miami,” Wydermyer said. “It’s really a small community. It’s like a college town pretty much and then right next to Miami. It was awesome. It’s crazy how it’s so secluded from Miami.”
With his first official visit in the books, Wydermyer has a timeline in mind. His birthday is Dec. 20, which falls right in the middle of the early-signing period. He’d like to announce his commitment then, as long as he knocks out the rest of the official visits he wants to take.
Wydermyer, whom the 247Sports.com composite rankings peg as the No. 17 in his class, is now working on setting up officials with the Texas A&M Aggies and Alabama Crimson Tide. He’s also taken unofficial visits with the Mississippi Rebels and Georgia Bulldogs in the past, although he isn’t yet sure about official visits with those two.
“That would be awesome,” Wydermyer said of signing early, “but if I don’t get some officials down — the officials I want to get down — by then, I’ll just wait.”
News and nuggets:
▪ It was mostly a rough weekend for the Hurricanes on the recruiting front. On Sunday, three-star running back Marcus Crowley flipped his commitment from Miami to the Ohio State Buckeyes after spending the weekend in Columbus for an official visit. The Jacksonville Trinity Christian Academy senior had been committed to the Hurricanes since 2017.
▪ Cornelius Nunn’s defection from Miami’s 2019 class a day later was a bit less crushing, but still disheartening given the Hurricanes’ on-field struggles. The three-star safety from Palmetto had been committed to Miami for less than three weeks before he announced his decommitment Monday.
▪ There was still at least one piece of good news for the Hurricanes this week. Louis Hedley, a two-star punter from City College of San Francisco, committed to Miami on Sunday shortly after receiving an offer. The junior college prospect will have three years of eligibility remaining when he joins the Hurricanes next year.
▪ Wydermyer wasn’t the only key visitor for Miami on Saturday. Lloyd Summerall also made his first trip to Hard Rock Stadium this season. The four-star defensive end from Lakeland has been high on the Hurricanes since visiting for the first time in the spring. He plans to return for an official visit later in the year.
▪ Some other major Miami targets have begun to take late-season official visits with some of the Hurricanes’ biggest challengers. Mark-Antony Richards, a four-star athlete from Wellington, took his official visit with the Auburn Tigers this past weekend and Khris Bogle, a four-star defensive end from Cardinal Gibbons, is set to officially visit the Alabama Crimson Tide this weekend. Both still plan to take official visits with Miami later in the year.
Auburn has long been the Hurricanes’ biggest challenger for Richards, who is the younger brother of former Miami wide receiver Ahmmon Richards. The Crimson Tide, meanwhile, is probably trying to make up ground on the Hurricanes and the Tennessee Volunteers in Bogle’s recruitment, although the senior does have a relationship with Alabama defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski, who was previously in the same role at Miami.

*************************************************
Nope.........this team is in a spiral and there is no sense of urgency from the coaches to the players. N'Kosi will know in the back of his mind he is on a short leash which will make him press and play poorly. He will get yanked and CMR will take a few hits from the bong at halftime. By the time its over and he starts to realize there are no empanadas in the local area, he will have a Cheech and Chong moment during the post game presser....

Go,
I guess it's good for them that we got them, instead of them, who wanted them because now we are stuck. Now had anybody on America, aside from us got them, they would have been coached up and at the position they need to be playing but we forgot the coached up part.
Posted by: Herbieibis | November 08, 2018 at 09:37 PM
Lol we. Rushed for 300 yards last week still scored only 12 points and lost and all this hot air for N'Kosi like he is Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson, or Cam Newton or Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Doug Williams, he more like a cross between Trick or Treat Malik(OGV named) and Kenny Kelly lol both Trick or Treat Malik and N'KOSI Hive Overrated As Freak only units worse is Offensive Line and Special Teams those units are the Poo Poo Platter with The Offensive Coaching as the Sauces IJS. BTW UMike we are now Rocking the Blackout per the Canes Football Twitter Page.

Dam, Terrence, I'm glad somebody has a handle on No Kosi don't throw it.
All that sweet talk by
Wydamyer means squat. How many times have we heard Miami is my dream school. He's A & M bound and Summerall won't be here either.
Be lucky to have on to Bogle and if we had Neal, the only way we might real him back is a winning streak. Same goes for Stephens.
All I can say is after December. 19th Richt better hit the Juccos hard because flipping anyone to us is going to be hard
Posted by: Herbieibis | November 08, 2018 at 10:23 PM
Most teams probably have at least, on their 3 deep rotation 6 tackles and we have one legit tackle out of 15 lineman.
Posted by: Herbieibis | November 08, 2018 at 10:37 PM
Got to have them big boys....up front both sides....you cannot win without them.
Thats what I see as our biggest challenge getting those big fast tough mean ass kickin OL guys!!!!!
Al lthe big teams have them....and it makes their attack so much more physical than what we can do.
Herbie, its been a problem for a long time; I know how you, many others and myself have said it for a long time...but you are spot on!
Hell Brady would die back there and he's good!
With Trick or Treat Malik (LOL) back there....or even Perry....N $ Perry (LOL) its a horror show.....I need some of CMRs stash to see it...maybe one of you could cop some from CMR and send it to VA....it must be damn good!!!!!

Barry is reaching to cut Richt some slack.
Mahoney, Jones and Gauthier weren't ranked high. Gauthier still developed until this season. Pre season all ACC and predicted to get drafted.
It's funny how he only referenced with Rivals.
Scaife ended up with a good amount of P5 offers. Donaldson, St. Louis, Herbert top shelf 4* prospects.
Harley 4*, Mallory 4*. Thomas and Cager were high school All Americans. Brevin Jordan too. And Pope. And Hightower...
You get the point.
Homer and Dallas 4*, Lingard 5*, Burns 4*(by espn and scout).
This staff has failed at development. Period.
At least 80% of P5 schools would trade rosters with us immediately.
Posted by: CoCane | November 09, 2018 at 12:41 AM
Bottom line:
When Richt took the helm, the defense was considered garbage and bereft of talent. The offense was considered good enough to compete for the ACC immediately...
3 years later...
The defense is elite. The offense sucks harder then a mosquito on steroids.

If Richt is toast, he's definitely white bread -- Something highly processed with no fiber (all the solidity and mass has been chopped to pieces or sifted out) that tastes bland and offers little nutritional value to promote growth and development.

This is what I meant by factually inaccurate, though I don’t agree with the 80%.
There are a lot of schools out there with rosters of deep, experienced offensive lines and skill position players. Won’t even talk about QB.
Nearly all the players named there are freshmen or sophomores. We have s ton of raw young talent, but other schools have had years to build depth and experience.
Of the three losses we just had I can live with the BC one because of just that. Duke and UVA were and will always be completely inexcusable.

That's the way you do it. This is traditionally known as a circle the wagon's game while the live dog is being prematurely counted out of sneaking in the still open division champ door, Wally. But unless UM plays up and GT plays down, the yellow bees are about three or four points better at home, which means Smart Mark has some work cut out for him in crafting the game plan this week...

It's too early to say for sure, but I've got him penciled in as a potential evolutionary Jacory Harris, like the herb but more sympathetic in the evaluation since he's not even halfway done with his eligibility. Between the frame, natural athleticism and compact pass attempt release, you can win with him being able to read a defense pre-snap eventually and learning to hurry up on his coverage reads on where to throw the football.

Above average does not equal elite, go look at who they let score above their season averages on them. Disappointing does suck like a female mosquito though on the other hand, I give you that.
Barry Jackson has to slurp sid-tards for a paycheck, he's in the worst spot ever other than actually being GD and shitting up the blob with tl;dr copy/pastes of talking points daily like a liar and a moron. I hope Miami Herald Manny is still pulling no punches though, if 86 ever leaves the blog to him he'll have to around here after all so it's important for him to keep that keeping it 100% real edge.

Some people think it's impossible say that AND also say Richt is calling horrible plays and we have NO business losing to Pitt, Duke and UVA.
Just like some people are incaable of saying play calling, lack of talent and experience on the o-line AND horrible QB play ALL contribute to our offensive shit show.

My favorite quote from Richt in BJ's column in the Herald:

If that's what he truly believes, ya gotta wonder whether Richt spends his spare time clapping to ensure Tinkerbell lives.

The Herb hopes Da Cane's left their panty hose behind. It's time to man up on the road, instead of playing like road kill!
Black unis.on the road now that is worth a FG. for us. Where are all the other points going to come from, oh I forgot by the defense setting us up.
Still sticking to 27- 20. Won't have the ball that much, maybe 22 to 25 minutes if the whole game, so we better make do with the limited times we get it. We definitely have to keep our punter off the field.

If we are going to get back on track, big if... Miami's awfense needs 3 TDs, 3 extra points (no longer a gimme) and a FG. Miami's D has to bail the O out and keep GT in check. The best way to beat GT is to score a bunch fast and stay in front of them, dont allow them to grind... no chance Miami can do that, we play right into their hands.
GT 31, Miami 19.

I don’t think CMR is creative enough to put Perry in the right position to succeed and we aren’t going to run it down anyone’s throat.
Only way I see us getting to 24-28 is maybe a sustained drive or two for the whole game with one explosive play and a TO for points.
That’s some serious grasping at straws.
Hopeful but not confident that’s for sure.

We could luck into some throws and break away runs. Theres also the chance of a kick return that goes deep into GT territory with out a holding call, but its slim. Richt's awefense & ST are so terrible. This is going to be painful to watch. The last time I expected Miami to clearly lose was a few years ago, probably the AG Clemson game. GT should handle Miami's O fairly well, and Miami's D will be stressed to the max. At some point I expect them to break. I expect Miami fans to be on fire after this one. GT beats Miami soundly 31-19. Miami gets 2 TDs, 1 extra point and maybe 2 FGs now that Perry is starting, although, I wont be surprised if MR sacrifices a FG to go for it at some point, maybe when down 24-13 or 24-16.
We should do an over under for the amount of yards Miami gets on its first drive. Over under 9?
Posted by: His Majesty The Dude on High | November 09, 2018 at 05:54 PM
you play a qb who cannot make an accurate throw and then you make excuses for him then the rest of the team hears that its ok to play soft. So thats where we are at now..they really dont care about winning. ..its the cancer the program needs to cut out...we need a Frost to come in and get the guys to care again.

I think Lane Kiffin as the highest paid OC in CF is the answer. Make him HCiW & let him start making some staff decisions. Tell him you want to see a spread style offense that fits local talent. 1) Lane croots big time. 2) He knows big time football from Saban and Carroll, we dont need to be Bama, just a better at being Miami.
One thing I get from Lane though, is that maybe he isnt a workaholic. Thats fine I guess, I'm willing to pull the rug out from under his feet if he doesnt make it happen, and I'll start all over after Richt is gone. The beauty of it is I dont have to extend Richt's contract. 2022 would be his last season, and I'd make it so this is his last chance at a National Title.

Soup's photos are a delight.
A guy that can persuade beautiful ladies to let him take pictures of them without coming off as a stalker has to be given his due.
Most of his photos bring back memories of great times between true Canes fans.
Lots of us that have never met each other in in person enjoy putting a face with our favorite bloggers.
Canes players come and go, but the real Canespace family seems united through thick and thin.

Louisville, UNC, FSU and Miami should start their own little conference.

Solid win the Coach L and the Canes! Dewan Hernandez didn’t play. Held out while eligibility issues are being reviewed by UM compliance.

We should do an over under for the amount of yards Miami gets on its first drive. Over under 9?

UM TD first drive.
Yeah, I said it.
