Regardless of the quarterback position battle outcome, whoever stands behind center in 2018 can be confident in handing the ball off to any of Miami’s deep, athletic, and talented running backs. Arguably the Canes’ best RB group since the early 2000s, head coach Mark Richt and offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will be challenged with devising game plans to exploit the wealth at this position.
Departed starter Mark Walton’s 2017 season was cut short by injury which gave Travis Homer and Deejay Dallas a heavy dosing of meaningful reps and leadership opportunities. In 2018, those two will be joined by blue chip freshmen and bolstered by returning veterans whose aim will be to keep the offensive motor car speeding down the road back to the ACC Championship.
