In a free-flowing offense, there will always be someone open. For Miami’s No. 2, the offense is designed to always have someone open, regardless of what defense is playing.
This has been evident in five games so far this season for the Hurricanes. With a record of 5-0 and 1-0 in the ACC, the Hurricanes have one of the best offenses in the country. It may not be as electric as last season, but it can get there.
Head coach Mario Cristobal knows there is a chance to reach this level because of the way the offense is designed.
“Well, I think they’re there. And I think the ball finds you in this offense, right? It’s the way we run our offense. It’s not designed for one guy to get the ball all the time. It’s designed to attack coverages, coverage structures,” Cristobal said.
For the Hurricanes offense, they had plenty of targets and receivers. The problem is that there are so many talented players that it can be difficult to know who will get the ball. Malachi Toney and CJ Daniels are the first two players that come to mind, but there are even more players.
Joshisa Trader hasn’t even started yet, and then there’s another star freshman, Josh Moore, who can also be a weapon. Some transfer players haven’t even shown their true potential in this offense, but with time that will come.
“What defense gives and takes away? And so if you do what you’re supposed to do in this offense, the ball finds you,” Crisotbal said. “So you’ll see from last year to the year before, now this year, some guys are having more statistically impressive games than others at different times of the year in different games. So that doesn’t worry us.
“I think the players understand that this is how this offense is structured, and that as long as they bust their butts, do the right things and play really, really hard, which we have to do, we have to play harder and get better, so the ball finds them. And it’s all about doing your job, man. Doing your job and making routine plays work in a big way.”
