How does Miami recover from losing its top rusher, its top two receiving threats and three key offensive linemen in a single offseason? Having a star quarterback helps. Brad Kaaya will have to carry an enormous load this year for the Hurricanes, especially now that junior running back Gus “The Bus” Edwards is out for the season, but the sophomore is up to the challenge.
Duke Johnson, Phillip Dorsett and Clive Walford are all in the NFL now, so it’s up to Kaaya to pick up the slack in his second year as starting quarterback. In addition to losing his three best playmakers from a year ago, the six-foot-four, 210-pound quarterback will be protected by five offensive linemen this season with just 22 combined starts in their careers.
