Missed field goals and extra points cost the Miami Hurricanes in losses to Florida, North Carolina and Georgia Tech and killed momentum in a loss to Virginia Tech during the 2019 season. The addition of graduate transfer kicker Jose Borreagales from FIU is expected to be a big upgrade in 2020.
Bubba Baxa who was the Miami Hurricanes kicker in 2018 and 2019 lost his job last season after converting just five of his 10 field goal attempts and making 15 out of 17 extra-point attempts. Third-team kicker Turner Davidson replaced Baxa and made 1-3 field-goal attempts and all five extra-point attempts.
