Three Takeaways from Miami’s loss to Louisville
Miami had a tough fought lose yesterday against the No. 10 ranked Louisville Cardinals.
Let’s just get straight into it, here are some key takeaways I saw against Louisville.
Takeaways
- Playbook – I loved how Shannon Dawson opened the play book against the Louisville’s defense yesterday, even though it was not enough to beat the Cards, I still loved how we opened up the playbook. Miami lacked on offense mainly this whole year dealing with some injuries, and just overall it was bad, Dawson came out the gate slinging the ball trusting Tyler Van Dyke, and the offense and Van Dyke did show the spark he was back when Miami played Texas A&M. However, the playbook for the running game still lacks creativity.
- Mark Fletcher – The freshman running back played his best game of his young career today. Fletcher finished the game with 17 carries for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns, plus a nice 25-yard catch and run. He ran hard up the middle and showed speed I did not know existed. Fletcher is the clear number one running back on the Canes. He has a bright future.
- X Man (Xavier Restrepo) – The Miami Hurricane’s number one wide receiver went off yesterday against the Cards, Restrepo hauled in 8 receptions for 193 yards and a touchdown. He was sure handed, got down the field, and made plays after the catch. It was an impressive all-around performance for #7. Yeah, his numbers were padded with the catch on the last play of the game. Nonetheless, Restrepo is likely to be an All-ACC receiver this season. Well deserved.
