Third-year head coach Al Golden needed a signature win and finally got one when the Hurricanes survived the Gators, 21-16, in Week 2. Miami started fast, took the early lead and from there bobbed and weaved its way to the upset.
The defense made headlines, creating turnovers, while the lack of offense has caused a different kind of stir.
First-year offensive coordinator James Coley has only manufactured 55 points in two games, while senior quarterback Stephen Morris doesn’t quite look like the gunslinger he was a year ago, which has some sounding the alarm.
Morris threw for 3,345 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior but has only put together a few serviceable performances after two games this season.
The Hurricanes’ offense was expected to be the strength of this 2013 team, and while there’s a lot of football left to play, something has to give in the next two weeks before conference play kicks off. Miami hosts Savannah State this Saturday and travels to South Florida next weekend. From that point on the schedule tightens up, and there’s little margin for Coastal Division error.
