One of the most glaring weaknesses for the Miami Hurricanes in 2024 was undoubtedly the secondary as the pass defense frequently put a historical offense in trouble late in games. Notably, the pass defense ranked 57th nationally and was regularly burnt by inferior opponents. It was so bad that the Canes team that arguably could have made a playoff run behind a top ranked offense did not even make the ACC Championship because Miami lost in a 42-38 shootout in the season finale to Syracuse. The woes were most evidently on display in that matchup where the Orange scored at will, erasing a 21-0 early deficit, as Kyle McCord threw for 380 yards and 3 TDs.
