Are the Miami Hurricanes BYKE?! Time will tell, but the defense is! Going into the 2016 season, the Canes were facing a defensive scheme change, transitioning from a read-and-react 3-4 defense to an aggressive, attacking 4-3 defense. Miami’s defense was surely going to get better (there was literally no way they could get worse), but few expected the significant jump they made.
After the spring, Miami’s defense was great mixture of youth and experience, but was also filled with numerous question marks. How is the secondary going to play? Who is starting opposite Corn Elder? Are the freshman linebackers going to hold up?
