The offensive line was porous for both the run and the pass. The Hurricanes had 18 yards rushing on 35 attempts, that includes sack yardage. Taking away the sack yardage, the Hurricanes still only had 59 yards rushing on 30 carries.
The poor offensive line play isn’t the only reason the offense has struggled, but it’s arguably the biggest. The Hurricanes rode a dominant rushing offense and a stifling defense to begin the season 4-0.
The Hurricanes began the season with a 373-yard performance rushing performance against FCS Florida A&M and had 279 yards on the ground for an encore against Florida Atlantic.
