Miami’s Defense Isn’t Elite

It’s typical Miami, a defense that depends on getting turnovers to cover up holes on the defense.

The defense was able to generate three turnovers against Louisville and still gave up 34 points and over 500 total yards.

The Cardinals averaged 6.07 yards per play and had eight different players with at least one 15+ yard play on the night.

Miami had one pass defended, three sacks, but did have 10 tackles for loss. Louisville was able to run the ball too, as they rushed 49 times for 206 yards, which doesn’t account for yardage lost with the three QB sacks.

Miami’s secondary isn’t great either, as Louisville completed 36 of 46 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns.

The biggest question in these games of late is can FSU’s offensive line block well enough to give the offense a chance to make plays.
