re: Miami board going crazy over us

Miami was ranked 38th in total defense last year. LSU was 13th Fricking Troy was 24th. Miami is overrated as frick. I’m willing to bet they end the year unranked.

You realize LSU only played 811 plays on defense while Miami played 989 plays right ? Which is why the yardage given up per game is higher for Miami....
Total defense only measures the yardage given up per game to the opposing team.

A better indicator of how good a defense really is the yards per play which Miami was top 10 in the country in.
LSU 811 plays 4107 5.07 ypp
Miami 989 plays 4717 4.77 ypp

Now let’s talk about how much pressure Miami’s defense causes like leading the country in sacks per game and being top 3 in tackles for loss, top 15 in interceptions.

By the way Miami plays an aggressive scheme so it will give up yards but not that many big plays which is rare to see a defense do that if they are so aggressive.

All I’ve got to say if you only looking at Miami being ranked 38 in the country in terms of yards given up per game thinking that is how good they are then you are sadly mistaken period.
