UM quarterback Malik Rosier: 'If I keep messing up ... coach Richt has the right to bench me'

A redshirt, fifth-year senior, Malik Rosier has been at Miami long enough to know what the expectations are, year in and year out, for the Hurricanes as a whole.

He knows, too what is specifically expected of any of the players tasked with lining up under center at a place once known as “Quarterback U.”

And as one of his biggest critics, Rosier understands that right now, as the Hurricanes look to move on after their disappointing 33-17 season-opening loss to LSU in the AdvoCare Classic, he’s far from playing as he should.

Rosier was a meager 15-of-35 for 259 yards with two interceptions — one of which was returned for a touchdown — against the Tigers.
