Like any coach trying to evaluate quarterbacks, Miami’s Mark Richt understands sometimes there’s nothing like live contact to help determine which one of his signal callers will be best suited to handle the pressure that comes with being the starter at a major college football program.
And with the Hurricanes set to open the 2018 season against traditional SEC powerhouse LSU in Dallas in September, Richt wants to make sure his quarterback is ready for whatever kind of big hits the Tigers defense can deliver.
That doesn’t mean he’s decided yet whether to have Malik Rosier, N’Kosi Perry, Cade Weldon and Jarren Williams take contact when the Hurricanes start scrimmaging later this spring.
