In what could only be described as generally average play, the Miami Hurricanes will look to find explosiveness and reliability on special teams in the 2018 season. Other than Braxton Berrios returning punts to the tune of a 15.9 yards per return average, the Canes did not pass the eye test in the kick return, punt, or kicking game.

Another player we’ll miss is Michael Badgley, Miami’s all-time leading scorer. The veteran kicker converted 73.9 of his kicks as a senior. Badgley was steady, yet unspectacular.
