The Canes averaged 6.18 yards per rush versus Virginia Tech, 5.64 yards per rush versus Notre Dame. That is very good when you consider coming into the contest that the Miami Hurricanes were second in the ACC averaging close to 300 yards a game passing.
So what happened? When you consider Miami ran 29 times vs five passes in the second half vs Notre Dame last Saturday night, Mark Richt happened. It is like coach Richt flipped over the playbook and said, “Hey how did that get there?” The implementation has been surgical and fun.
