The Miami Hurricanes, for the past few years, have gone as far as their defense would take them, letting it erase the mistakes of a usually underwhelming offense. The offense, like usual, has plenty of question marks heading into 2019, but now the defense does, too, with three starting defensive linemen and three starting defensive backs all departing.
Although the defense actually lost to the offense 35-32 in Miami’s spring game Saturday in Orlando, the Hurricanes feel they have the pieces to replace what they lost from last season.
