As the Miami Hurricanes turn the corner and move upfield toward the second half of the season, it is pretty obvious that the most troublesome offensive unit has been the Wide Receivers. Due to a plethora of dropped passes, and no steady target among the Canes crop of wideouts, this has been a hard-to-miss problem area in an otherwise decent offense.
The lack of production from the WR position comes as somewhat of a surprise after the Canes entered 2020 with the necessary factors to excel at the position. In particular, they welcomed dual threat transfer QB D’Eriq King, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee to implement a new spread offense, and WR Coach Rob Likens, who has produced a first round draft pick at WR the last two seasons out of Arizona State University.
