Your University of Miami Hurricanes football team appears to be both totally hopeless and seriously helpless. That is the sad truth about the 2022 season.
It is so bad early on in Mario Cristobal's first year as head coach that UM lost to lowly and completely unknown Middle Tennessee State University by 14 points at home at Hard Rock Stadium. The fans were not pleased to say the least.
MTSU then lost to University of Texas at San Antonio by 15 points.
MTSU lost today to the University of Alabama at Birmingham by 27 points.
So UM lost to team, that then lost to another bad team, and then lost to another really bad team. To the average fan that seems really bad, correct?
This is why Miami fans are not laughing at U, just near U.
In their first Alantic Coast Conference play against the University of North Carolina, Miami put up a late effort in the game only to lose it at home once again. And that was after a bye week, with time to heal, recover and prepare.
But that made absolutely no difference and was no advantage for the Hurricanes or Coach Cristobal. The offensive game plan was well, simply offensive. The defensive game plan was curious at best and in the end has no defense for giving up 27 points and 21 in the first half.
If Manny was fired for a reason, and Mario was hired for a reason, that reason is now decidedly unclear. Manny could have lost to MTSU. Manny could have lost to UNC. Manny could have had a poor defense and an anemic offense.
Then we have to ask ourselves, what has changed with this Miami Hurricanes football team? And the answer is right now...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
