By this point in the college football season most teams are already seven to eight games in, Miami is a game behind due to Hurricane Irma. With this being the midway point, let’s review the U so far, as they prepare for a crucial stretch of their season. When the season started there was plenty of question marks regarding certain positions that now seem to have more clarity. Although Miami is still undefeated many out there feel as if the “luck” will run out.<\/p>\n
The biggest question mark was how would Malik Rosier<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0look running the show after the departure of Brad Kayaa<\/strong><\/a>. So far Rosier has Miami in a position that Kayaa wasn’t able to reach:\u00a0 an undefeated team six weeks into the schedule. For all the criticism that he has garnered for some poor first half performances, Rosier has continued to lead Miami to more wins.\u00a0 Although dramatic, his play has been very consistent without turning the ball over. Overall Rosier has done a very solid job leading the team and being clutch in big moments.<\/p>\n During spring football, coaches were very cautious with their star tailback Mark Walton<\/strong><\/a>. The coaching staff did not want to expose the lack of depth behind the preseason All-ACC back. Walton’s season ending ankle surgery turned to good news for the Miami Hurricanes.\u00a0 Walton’s backup,\u00a0Travis Homer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has gone above and beyond expectations as the lead back. Since being the starter Homer is averaging 132 yards per game on 20 carries, which is higher than Walton before his injury.<\/p>\n The Miami Hurricanes have a rich tradition of elite play from it’s wide receivers. With Ahmon Richards\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>breaking Michael Irvin’s<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0freshman record last season, expectations coming into the season were high. Collectively the group has done a tremendous job with a new name emerging every week. Although Richards has been battling hamstring issues since training camp, others have stepped up. Braxton Berrios<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0opened up the season scoring touchdowns in the first four games. Darrell Langham<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has created a legendary story behind his fourth quarter catches<\/a>. The freshman Jeff Thomas<\/strong><\/a> is also started to turn the corner in October and put teams on notice.<\/p>\n #Miami<\/a> WR Jeff Thomas (@theregoes4<\/a>) is special.
