The difference being that the guys who transferred to Miami were starters and impact players on their previous team. The only guys transferring to New Mexico were scrubs who never saw the field at their old school.
Same old Jimbo offense. Struggling to break 400 yards against one of the worst teams in the country.
You literally said “they have 41 new players, just like us”.
They look better playing a NM team that was bad last year and appears to be just as bad this year. Then again, they couldn't look any worse than last year, so there's that. I haven't seen anything earth shattering, it's a lot of guys running free because of a lack of speed at NM. That said, I expect Miami to compete at a higher level than NM.
They’ve clearly outmatched New Mexico but I don’t see an electrifying offense. I see a team with 375 total yards against a bottom 5 FBS team. I’ll give them credit for maximizing their opportunities but they don’t have 49 points because they drove the ball up and down the field. But there’s still ~4 minutes left to pad their numbers.
Opponent aside, their game plan looks like a Petrino offense. Their QB is throwing some dimes. Didn’t see that last year. The narrative Jimbo was going to stick to his scheme is over.
Also called a timeout to kick a field goal with 1 minute left and a 40+ point lead.
We averaged over 8 yards per play against a much better defense. ATM averaged 6.7 They also ran more plays than Miami and finished with 80 fewer yards. They were more efficient in the red zone but once again, against one of the worst teams in the country.
