Miami coach Manny Diaz feels his underclassmen at wide receiver are starting to look more game-ready, and the thought of increased depth at the position mixed with the Hurricanes’ tempo could be a scary proposition for opposing defenses.
Diaz revealed on Wednesday morning in an interview with 560-AM that there were two instances last season where he could recall opposing defenders throwing up on the field after three quarters of facing offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee’s fast-paced attack.
With 12 to 13 wide receivers competing for playing time once the incoming freshman class arrives at UM after the spring, Diaz is looking forward to rotating wideouts in without a dropoff while opponents dip into their second-team secondary.
