There is one thing that Miami Hurricanes fans need to acknowledge before coming for the jugular of the players and coaching staff.
Clemson is a phenomenal football team. Travis Etienne is, as Miami defensive coordinator Blake Baker said, “the premier college football player.” You won’t find a better quarterback in college football this year than Trevor Lawrence.
Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables exposed every possible flaw in Miami’s offense and Clemson’s offense took advantage of Miami’s defensive weaknesses.
There is no getting around the fact that Clemson is the best team in the country and to think that a Miami team that went 6-7 last season is going to turn around and beat a team like Clemson is unreasonable, no matter how many positive changes were made in the offseason.
