Miami’s offense is rolling.

The Atlantic Coast Conference has cleared the way for Stanford, California and SMU to join the league, two people with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Friday, Sept. 1, 2023, providing a landing spot for two more teams from the disintegrating Pac-12.
“We’re systematic on offense,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “Yeah, we like certain things against certain things, but should we be in a situation where we do get some kind of surprise look schematically, rules take over. We’re built on rules. If something shows up that we haven’t seen, trust your rules and go execute.”
The rules are working. Miami enters the week with the ninth-best rushing offense in the nation at 222.5 yards per game — Georgia Tech ranks third-worst nationally in that department, giving up 224.2 yards per game — and the Hurricanes also have a quarterback in Tyler Van Dyke who is completing three of every four passes he throws.
Miami is coming off a bye, which gave the Hurricanes time to rest and heal. The Yellow Jackets went through a week of tumult after the Bowling Green loss; Sherrer was co-coordinator with Andrew Thacker, who now coaches the safeties. “The thing about that game is it will affect the rest of our season,” Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said. “It’s our choice if it’s going to be good or bad. Is it going to affect us the right way or the wrong way?”Miami has scored at least 38 points in all four of its games this season — after having just one such game last season. The Hurricanes are one of three teams nationally to score that many in every game to this point, joining USC and Oregon.

No. 17 Miami's rolling offense facing a Georgia Tech defense coming off coordinator shakeupMiami’s offense is rolling. Georgia Tech’s defense is not. In simplest terms, that’ll be the story when the 17th-ranked Hurricanes open Atlantic Coast Conference play on Saturday night against the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech is coming off a 38-27 loss to Bowling Green last week, one that led to Kevin Sherrer being elevated to defensive coordinator. And that almost certainly means Miami will see looks from Georgia Tech that haven’t appeared on film yet this season. But the Hurricanes think they’re ready for any surprises.
