While the offense was the one that got most of the criticism this season, the Miami football team’s defense inability to stop the run during in their five losses this season played a major factor finishing 7-5. The Hurricanes finished 24th in the nation against the run during the regular season but that number was misleading.
Next up Miami has to face Jonathan Taylor and the prolific Wisconsin running game in the Pinstripe Bowl December 27. Taylor led the country in rushing by nearly 20 yards per game during the regular season.
