The Miami Hurricanes finished 122nd in red zone offense in 2019. Miami converted 72.22 percent of their opportunities in the red zone into points last season. Conversely, the SMU offense led by new Miami offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee finished ninth in the nation with 55 scores in the red-zone.
The percentage at which teams are able to score in the red zone can be misleading. The scoring percentage includes both field goals and touchdowns. A team constantly settling for field goals in the red zone versus touchdowns could potentially have a higher percentage but far fewer points.
