TWEETS OF THE DAY
MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY
Offense helping the defense discussion … Posted by Clevelandcane
Here’s the path forward for UM this season; it’s by the offense improving overall. This may sound obvious but a lesser discussed benefit of the O playing well is that the D will naturally improve right along with it. That doesn’t work in reverse which means the O HAS to improve for UM to win more. The same can’t be said for the D.
When the O stays on the field, doesn’t turn the ball over, lacks penalties, and moves the ball consistently the defense can rest and usually feeds off the excitement.
The O scoring motivates the D to do their job. The two just work together that much better when the O is even solid. When you have a totally inept O like UM had last year the defense figures why even bother. The O can’t score then the team can’t win.
So while all this may be obvious I thought it was worth mentioning and am interested in hearing others’ thoughts on the subject.
MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Miami is somewhere I want to end up. I told coach Jason Taylor that I really see him as my coach and that’s somewhere I want to be. So on this visit, I expect to see his coaching skills, the football side of it, because I already know I’m a great fit at Miami. I told him that I know that. That’s where they’re at.”
