Miami might have something cooking.
The Hurricanes have been plagued by offensive inconsistencies in recent years, with poor quarterback play only exacerbating those ever-lingering issues. But with Houston transfer D’Eriq King leading an uptempo system installed by new coordinator Rhett Lashlee, the Hurricanes have looked downright stellar en route to a 2-0 start.
On Saturday night, King and the No. 17 Miami offense put up 485 yards in an impressive 47-34 win on the road against No. 18 Louisville. And it didn’t take long for the Hurricanes to set a tone.
After Louisville opened the scoring with a field goal, Miami responded with a laser-fast five-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by a 17-yard touchdown pass from King to Will Mallory.
