| Phillip
Dorsett heads a unit where
seven of the top nine
receivers are back. This
from a team that threw
for over 3,500 yards.
Some have senior quarterback
Stephen Morris penciled
into a longshot Heisman
discussion. If he can
regulate the mistakes
the numbers won't disagree.

| Defense |
Finishing
dead last in the ACC in
run defense, pass defense,
total defense and near
the bottom in sack production
just won't cut it. Can
this group get better
with so many youngsters
coming back? |

| QUICK
TAKES |
- No,
this won't be a team that gets compared
or returns Miami to the dynasty
years of old, but they certainly
are setting up to make 2013 one
of their potentially better outputs
since 2009 where they finished 9-4
on the season. With only two full-time
starters departing head coach Al
Golden will be the first to tell
everyone that he has much to be
excited about.
- Despite
potential NCAA sanctions still hanging
over their heads after a full year
and a half Golden continues to bring
in gifted recruiting classes.
- Running
back/return man Duke Johnson was
the ACC Offensive Rookie of the
Year. He brings a much needed explosive
element to the running game now
and senior quarterback Stephen Morris
is slowly getting better. If Morris
can limit the inconsistencies this
could be one of the best offenses
in the ACC.
- Ten
freshmen started at least one game
this past season and 21 total freshman
saw action.
- Miami
won't start out as a Top 25 team
simply because the defensive numbers
are appalling. The fact this was
a very young group made youth an
excuse. That excuse can no longer
be available.
- The
off-season didn't help the defense
in regards to off-the-field discretions.
Gone are starters Eddie Johnson
- a rising star at linebacker, LB
Gionni Paul and CB Thomas Finnie.
- A
new kicker and punter has to be
developed.
- Miami
is the favorite to win the ACC Coastal
Division. However, no one on this
side of the conference is ranked
this preseason.
