Hurricanes Stock Report Following Week 10

The Miami Hurricanes got here into this season with a whole lot of objectives in thoughts, ACC title photographs, playoffs, ranked finishes, and so on. However the one goal that the Canes seemingly needed to accomplish by any means mandatory was a victory over their rival, Florida State. Like the remainder of their almost forgotten objectives, although, the Hurricanes did not even come shut.

The 45-3 beat down was possible the toughest capsule for Miami followers to swallow up to now this 12 months, but when there is a silver lining, at the least it occurred with nothing however bragging rights on the road. The Hurricanes’ 2023 commits are not wavering, however there’s nonetheless a whole lot of time earlier than they arrive and develop.

Within the meantime, listed below are the gamers who noticed their inventory transfer within the powerful defeat. 

STOCK UP

QB Jacurri Brown

Sport Stats: 5-of-9, 37 yards, one interception, 13 rushes, 64 yards

There weren’t a whole lot of good issues about Miami’s outing in opposition to Florida State. The truth is, it was virtually all dangerous information for the Hurricanes, however Brown’s efficiency, though definitely not good, did present at the least some promise. The freshman nonetheless wants to search out his sea legs as a passer, however as a run risk, he is nearly as good as any participant on this Miami roster.

With Tyler Van Dyke‘s shoulder damage and never a lot left on the road for Miami, Brown could get the nod because the starter for the remainder of 2022. Redshirt freshman Jake Garcia noticed time in opposition to the Seminoles, however appeared allergic to holding onto the soccer as he notched each an interception and fumble throughout simply 4 touches. Brown seems to be like the longer term, and a few suppose he could even beat Van Dyke out subsequent season. 

STOCK DOWN

QB Jake Garcia

Sport Stats: 1-of-2, one yard, one interception, two rushes, three yards, one fumble

In equity, none of Miami’s sign callers appeared good on Saturday, and even Van Dyke is going through scrutiny. However Garcia had an particularly tough night time, growing his turnover rely to seven on the 12 months. That is a ton of turnovers for somebody who hasn’t performed a ton of snaps, and individuals are beginning to look previous Garcia to each Brown and Canes commits within the class of 2023.

Only a few weeks in the past, some had been calling for the redshirt freshman to interchange Van Dyke. These pleas have gone silent, and for now, it would not appear like Garcia shall be making a lot noise both. 

OC Josh Gattis

Saturday was clearly not Miami’s night time. Van Dyke went down early and that threw all the things off-kilter. It is utterly comprehensible that the Hurricanes did not mild the scoreboard up in opposition to the Seminoles. However there is a distinction between having a tough night time and getting completely skunked by the opposing teaching employees. 

Miami had its fair proportion of turnover points, with two picks and two fumbles on the night, however they nonetheless had the ball almost as a lot as Florida State did in accordance with time of possession. Gattis’ offense, even with Van Dyke, appeared anemic, gaining solely 188 yards and scoring simply three factors. Even Georgia Tech, one of many backside 5 offenses in faculty soccer, managed 16 factors in opposition to FSU. They usually did it in Tallahassee. 

Head coach Mario Cristobal, in addition to a number of Miami gamers, have come out to publicly defend Gattis. And after giving up 42 factors to the ‘Noles, it is good to see the Canes come collectively to defend one thing. The microscope shall be on Gattis and the offense or the rest of the season to see if they’ll get one thing going to finish the season robust.
