Miami football continually hindered by penalties and poor offensive line play

Related Topics: Miami, lineman, penalty shoot-out

The Miami football team entered the weekend 123rd in FBS in penalties with 78.3 yards per game. The Hurricanes are 127th with 9.8 penalties per game. Those numbers all rose significantly after Miami’s 17-12 victory over Central Michigan on Saturday.

In Saturday’s win over Central Michigan, too many times penalties on offense hindered Miami drives and penalties on defense extended Central Michigan drives. Too many times in Saturday the offensive line, penalties or both let the Miami football team down.

Largely in part to allowing 10 sacks against Florida, Miami is tied for 129th nationally in sacks allowed.
