I just wanted to see what this one looked like laid out. Miami's defense found its legs in the second half, which likely would have ensured that the 'Canes would have won even without massive turnovers luck, but ... damn, that's some massive turnovers luck. (And even with the second-half improvement, those are some pretty high FAU success rates.)
The pass Brad Kaaya made to Joe Yearby in the third quarter -- the one that resulted in a 52-yard gain to the FAU 1 -- was maybe the prettiest pass I saw, and wow, did Yearby have himself a day (18 carries for 146 yards, 3 catches for 97). But while the Miami offense has found more of an early rhythm than I thought, those early defensive issues were a little scary.
