The Miami Hurricanes defense needs to improve in 2020 at limiting long pass plays by opponents. Miami finished 122nd nationally allowing five passing plays of 60 yards or more. Allowing big pass plays is one of only a few things the Miami defense, which was very good in 2019, needs to improve on in 2020.
The numbers get better going down incrementally by 10 but Miami still allowed five pass plays of 50 or more yards that was 69th nationally in 2019. Games against North Carolina and Wake Forest will pose the biggest challenges to the Miami Hurricanes secondary against the deep ball.
