You want to run Johnson up the gut vs UF's front 7? This isnt BC or Duke this is the best front 7 you will face all year. What good defense did Miami run over last year?One big key for us is Morris was healthy this spring. Can't be overstated.
Last year we had a lot of new WRs. Scott for instance definitely struggled adjusting to Morris and his arm strength.
This year we have continuity, which is going to be vital against a defense like UF. The receivers and QB must be on the same page which should be the case more than last year.
The key is if Duke can get outside the tackles and run and if Morris can exploit our LB's and safety in coverage. Running up the middle and throwing on the outside is going to be really hard to do.
Why is that? I like our O line vs your D line any day. If I were Coley, I'd run it right up Florida's gut, and mix in some play action. I like our athletes vs your athletes.
Not doubting your front seven and it may very well be the best we go against but Duke is not scared to go up the middle and he will. He's not just an outside runner. He's not Jerome Bettis either but we will keep them honest if they decide to overcompensate to the outside.
Our OL should be able to open some holes up inside and out. I'm sure there will be plays where Duke gets no gain just like any good defense would do. But if we keep giving him the ball, good things happen. That's the type of player Duke is.
