Meesh Powell: Cam Ward’s confidence is “automatic at all times”

[DMoney]

Graham Mertz is known for protecting the ball, but he couldn’t avoid Miami safety Meesh Powell all game. The senior leader met with reporters after the game to discuss the big win:

On his INT: Just watching a lot of tape. Graham Mertz is a really good quarterback, he's really good at looking off receivers. Just staying patient in the post route and letting the play come to me.

On doing the Gator Chomp: I should have done the Canes one. It's all about the team.

On playing...

That's a good player but probably an even better human being. Great job bringing in these transfers.

On how the team came together with so many new pieces: That's all a credit to Coach Cristobal and the recruiting staff bringing the right kind of guys. You can't bring any type of guy. You’ve got to bring a certain type of guy that fits the program, as [we are] a player-led program. There’s already leaders in here like Anez Cooper and Jalen Rivers that showed me and Cam the standard. When transfers like Dame Martinez and Tyler Baron and some of the incoming freshmen came in, we were able to keep relaying that standard and just keep it up.

This was my only concern coming into this year. We knew we had a very talented team, but many new pieces in the 1st string. Honestly I was pretty impressed how well-oiled they looked against UiF. By mid season we should be a ******* juggernaut.

Absolutely agreed. Limited practice times with NCAA rules and all the new faces. I thought we would start a little slower especially on offense before really hitting our stride

He probably had the best game of all the DB's. Harris obviously had a huge mistake on Johnson's run, but played very well. Their is a lot to clean up back there that Mertz couldn't take advantage of. Powell was a much needed get for this secondary.

I rewatched the game for the safeties and cam Ward. Meesh was clean. Even without the INT, he was very sound. I hope we wont necessarily need him at Nickel.

Going to be fun calling his name this year. He’s on the all name team for sure.
