Three areas where the Miami Hurricanes want to see the offense improve in 2024
The Miami Hurricanes are officially in their second week of fall camp, with the season opener against the Florida Gators on Aug. 31 creeping closer and closer. Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson is certainly one grateful for the fact that there are still more than three weeks until the games begin. “We’ll make a few plays and then we’ll go backwards,” Dawson said Tuesday. “It’s not anywhere close to where it needs to be. Our communication from play to play, the urgency that we need — we need to be way more consistent in what we’re doing. We’re doing some good things, but it’s too up and down. We’ve got to clean up the stuff that kills drives.” The Hurricanes are entering their second season with Dawson as offensive coordinator. Last year, Miami’s offense was 31st nationally in yards per game (431.2) and tied for 39th in points per game (31.5). The group is expected to take a step forward this year, especially after Miami’s additions of quarterback Cam Ward, running back Damien Martinez and wide receiver Sam Brown in the transfer portal to go along with several key returning players — wide receivers Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George, running back Mark Fletcher and three starters on the offensive line (Jalen Rivers, Francis Mauigoa and Anez Cooper) among them.Ô
