Miami junior cornerback DJ Ivey came into 2020 with a lot of questions. Can he step up as an outside corner? Will he fix the inconsistency that marred most of his 2019 campaign? His season opening performance against the UAB Blazers didn’t help. Ivey was picked on by a UAB team that couldn’t get much done on offense. When targeted, Ivey allowed a touchdown and multiple completions. After the game, social media went in on the cornerback. Many called for his playing time to be reduced. Some wanted to see the young, inexperienced corners to play over him.
