As the focus turns to Miami for the next two weeks, I think the process should go as follows; You spend the first half of the week fixing what went wrong against Georgia Tech.

During this time, script more situationally, take less of the onus off of James Blackman, and work more on install. It was easy to tell that there wasn’t a full playbook at the team’s disposal.

Obviously, the quicker you can get Chubba Purdy back, the better, but he probably will be out a bit longer since his injury got infected and required a second surgery to clean it up. In the meantime, you have to reopen the quarterback competition and give Tate Rodemaker and Jordan Travis more touches with the first team.

For the wide receiving corp, get them to touch the ball as much as possible. Put glue on their gloves if you have too because that group is too talented to have that many drops and have such a poor performance.
