Miami headed north into Papa John’s country to win a shootout with the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday, September 19th in primetime. The ‘Canes edge the Cards 47-34 on explosive plays and break-neck tempo drives. Miami offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee guided the Hurricanes to 485 total yards in only 21 minutes and 59 seconds in time of possession.
This is why something like time of possession really doesn’t matter, Miami didn’t need a ton of time to put up 47 on a bad defense. An old coaching adage is the offense should never wait for the defense to get lined up, just snap the ball!
