Since CFB season is getting closer and closer I've been doing a lot more reading and stat analyzing over the last week or two and I'm depressed. I forgot just how bad Richt's offense was. Miami lost multiple games last year where their opponent even failed to score 21 points. They went 7-6 with an elite defense because Richt's offense of 5 plays from 3 formations was surprisingly shut down. I don't know what happened between 2017 and 2018. His offense in 2017 was nothing innovative, but he literally ran the same 5-6 plays 90% of the time in 2018. I don't know if he was checked out or what. If Miami had scored 28 points exactly each game, no more, no less, then Miami goes 11-1. That team is as infuriating as the 2014 team that had all 11 starters on offense make it pro and play multiple years that had more draft picks than wins.

I would think Miami will eventually find a coaching staff that can produce a good offense and a good defense simultaneously, but it's starting to look like that is impossible. The 2017 offense was okay, but it was definitely not good. It just had decent enough play calling to out athlete basically everyone it played until Rosier turned into a turnover machine that couldn't even hit 50% of his throws.
