Miami's smack dab in the middle of the area that produces the quickest, fastest kids in the entire world - and 2nd place is not close in this department. I love the thought of being able to bulldoze teams, but strategically it makes more sense - to me - for our identity to get wide open and utilize the waves of bad *** WRs and RBs that the area produces. If you can do that while also having 5 guys that go 6'6" 315 then awesome, let's be capable of going hammer time when needed also.
We no longer run on the fastest tuff in college football, the Orange Bowl. Now we play on the Fin's field. Do they have a ton of fast players--NO! When they were in the OB they had more speed too. Tall grass negates speed like wet grass does. The OB had the shortest grass out there. Until we get our own house, our natural old speed advantage that we historically used to such great effect, is almost useless. We always lose in the Feista Bowl. I bet that field has taller turf than the Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl, the two places we have won NCs besides the OB. Of course back in the day, we bet the crap out of everyone on their own tuff too, but we had pro bowlers then. I remember sideline reporter, back in the day, in Talla comenting pregame about how short the grass was. Then he said the only shorter turf was in Miami. Let's hope the stupid Marlins move and THE U gets that stadium to remake.
