This particular article will look at other Hurricanes with tremendous offensive efforts, adds in snap counts from Pro Football Focus, and an offensive line that deserves high praise as a unit. In fact, the offensive line shall be the starting point.
**Ward did receiver pressure from the Gators but never sacked. The UM offensive line deserves kudos for that point as Ward’s 385 yards and 3 touchdowns never happen without players like center Zach Carpenter , offensive guards Anez Cooper and Matthew McCoy , and offensive tackles Jalen Rivers and Francis Mauigoa all playing well.
When needed, the offensive line also shows it can open running lanes. UM’s 144 rushing yards, 4.4 average as a unit, and 2 touchdowns are all important. So are statistics like only 9% of Miami’s running plays being stuffed, and first down runs gaining 71 yards and averaging 4.4 per carry.
