Van Dyke Reflects on Previous Game and Looks Ahead to Upcoming Matchup

[Peter Ariz]

After a tough and emotional loss last Saturday, Miami Hurricanes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke opened up about the game's challenges and what lies ahead for the team. In a today’s interview session with the media, he candidly discussed his performance, shared insights into the team's preparation, and expressed faith in the coaching staff.

During the review of the film from the last game, Van Dyke acknowledged some key mistakes that hurt their chances. "There were a few miscommunications and missed throws, especially during critical moments," he admitted. Despite gaining 450 yards on offense, the team struggled at pivotal junctures, notably with a missed third down and an interception which could have potentially changed the outcome.

However, Tyler's focus is now firmly set on the upcoming game. "We've got to move on. We have a tough matchup this week, and we need to be ready for it," he asserted. When asked about the previous loss's possible silver lining, he expressed a desire to have learned lessons while winning but recognized the team's dedication. "We have a great group of guys who are willing to work no matter what happens," he remarked.

Regarding the challenges posed by Georgia Tech, Van Dyke noted their changing defensive strategies. "They did a good job of mixing up coverages… every play was different," he said, also pointing out the importance of better execution from the Hurricanes' side.

Addressing concerns about the team's morale and faith in the coaching staff, Van Dyke revealed a leadership meeting was held. "We know who we are as a team. We have the utmost faith in our coaches," he said, emphasizing their commitment to pushing forward and focusing on the next challenge.

In the same vein, he was full of praise for North Carolina's quarterback, Drake Maye. "He's an unbelievable player, very accurate and a true leader," Tyler commented, mentioning their past interactions and shared experiences at football camps.

On the topic of targeting strategies, Tyler shed light on why some receivers, like Xavier Restrepo, get more passes. He explained that the type of play dictates the target, but lauded Restrepo’s skills in getting open and making the necessary plays.

If UNC doubles X it will get late, early.

Hope TVD looks their way.

Why is TVD being interviewed as though he’s still the starting QB going into UNC? I thought CiS already ran him off.

CIS also pegged him as a 1st rounder. If he throws 3+ TD'S, Heisman talks will resume.

I didn't like that he was looking away a bunch as if he was not interested at all. Own that **** and force the media to move on.

As for X being doubled, he has been doubled a ton already and TVD still fits it into the window. The issue has been getting it to others in similar windows.

 

[RozayCane]

Pretty alarming after 3 to 4 years here.. he “gotta get better from it.” Same bs he’s been doing, and still hasn’t gotten better from it.. regardless of the OC

Not if all 3 of those TDs are thrown to X.

 

[cway313]

We need Colbie to be targeted like a #1. You can win with X getting 15 targets but the explosive plays bring momentum and TDs. Offense looked difficult past week.

This dude is a one read pony. The moment he has to make more than one read, he panics and makes some of the worst throws you will ever see.

Watching live, from my seats behind the end zone, I see easily how he locks on to a route. He’s not capable of looking off a defender and coming back to another read. He straight stares down where he is going with the ball. Has for years!!

Last year, Gattis was awful and didn’t make things easy for TVD but this guy also couldn’t read a defense to help himself the OC couldn’t scheme up things to his liking.

In the NFL, this guy will be lucky to stay in a team a few years as a backup (see Trask at Tampa - same type of QB).

People may or may not attack you for this post but it is 100% fuccin correct. He can't hide behind a **** OC this year and the same 2021 deficiencies exist in 2023. Big yikes, but this is what happens when you fill the QB room with people who can't challenge for the starting spot. Yay, bring on the Judd machine.

The tight ends have something like 8 targets all season. Colbie not getting much of anything.

GT was playing a cover 4. Could’ve hit the under routes all day in the same way we did vs Miami of Ohio.

Only problem which is what we've seen this year is once we get inside the 20 the field shrinks and TVD closes his eyes and looks for #7. At least 1 fade or back shoulder throw to the 6'5 WR should be the bare minimum.

That’s fine. I don’t **** post being a reactionary douche. I rewatch the games after I get home to confirm what I see live.

I am not a coach and I don’t have to be to see when a QB is a 1 read pony. ****, all the way to his breakout season, the game vs Florida State that we should’ve won in which he started off poorly. Both of his interceptions was him throwing the ball into double coverage. The same way he did in the EZ vs GT.

I won’t put the Jacolby INT on him but all I hear about is how much time him and X spend. Well, maybe he should spend some more time with his other receivers.

He’s a decent QB. Makes some great throws into tight spaces. He does well under pressure. Ironically, when he has a lot of time, with this awesome OL we have, and he has to read more of the defense, he struggles. That is the opposite of Drake Maye. He will kill you if he has time to read a defense. That’s why is on the next level and I hope we keep him under constant pressure on Saturday if we want to win.

But TVD, to me, is just an above Avg College QB that depending on the defensive scheme he is facing, can become really bad. He’s lucky he didn’t have 5-6 INTs vs GT.

We are not a good red zone offense. The numbers are the numbers and it’s a fact and what you hit on is spot on.

And like Roman pointed out in his video, GT ignored Miami tight ends. They went straight in to play the run. We became predictable off a bye week preparation. Mind boggling.

This scene should never be used. It is arguably one of the most painful scenes in movie history, right up there with Ned Beatty getting it in Deliverance.
But what a great movie.
