Canes offense v. Gators defense (by the numbers)

[DMoney]

The last time Miami played the Gators, a veteran Gators’ pass rush overwhelmed an inexperienced Canes’ offense. That mathchup will look different on Saturday, as a Miami offense loaded with veterans takes on a Gator defense trying to move on from a disastrous season.

We dove into the numbers to see how the two teams match up. National rankings are in parentheses:

Florida scoring defense- 29.5 ppg (85th)

I think Arroyo will have a breakout game tomorrow. Any stats on how the gator defended against TEs last season?

Miami's offensive numbers would have looked better if TVD didn't morph into a turnover machine.

Explosive plays will be the difference for the winner. Who can create the most and who can stop the most

Whatever play was called to break Martinez for 60 yard tuddy in the scrimmage should be the first play called

Just took a quick look, no big games by TEs against the Gators last year. But they didn't go up against anybody like Arroyo. Utah, Kentucky, Arkansas, and LSU steamrolled them on the ground and they struggled against the run in a few other games too. Teams didn't seem to have much of a need to put the ball in the air a whole lot against that D.

True, however, UF was 99th in opponents RZ scoring.

Gainesville Sun writer wrote that Cam Ward has a fumble problem....predicted that the Gators will get 3 turnovers and win the game.

With the new CFB / portal world stats from the previous years doesn’t hold much water imo . There’s so much change over on teams that you’re using stats for teams that no longer exist. Our D stats are useless since we played without most of our DL . Offense has a new stud qb , a game changing rb and a third game breaking wr. All stats go out the window imo. These are nowhere the same teams. It can tell you some about coaches and tendencies but that’s about it.
