Yup. Miami wasn't nearly as far off last year as what's perceived. 4 game losing streak in the middle of the season, Miami went 0-4 when giving up 16, 27, 20, and 27 points. They averaged giving up 23 points a game, and went 0-4. Just for comparison's sake, if you gave up 22.5 PPG for the season, you'd have been ranked 33rd in the country. Not incredible, but certainly nothing going 0-4 over.
Also, in those 4 games, Miami averaged 5.25 yards per play on offense. That number would rank 105th in the country for the whole season.
So really, just field an AVERAGE offense in those 4 games, and you've got to think they win at least a couple of them. 7-5 becomes 9-3 or even 10-2 real quick. We're not expecting a magic show out of Enos....just get us to above-average. Pair an above-average offense to what Manny has done the last 3 years on the other side of the ball, and you've got something.
The team overall wasn't awful last year. It was just a catastrophic offense. The defense was legitimately championship caliber.
