Miami’s Run Game Will Improve In 2020 Under Rhett Lashlee
Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesThe hopeful improvement of Miami’s offense will be the key if the Hurricanes want to win more games in 2020, and while everyone is talking about the passing game, I think it’s the rushing attack where we’ll see the most growth.
New offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee turned Shane Buechele into one of the best quarterbacks in the country last year at SMU, but many forget how effective the Mustangs ground game was under Lashlee. In 2019, SMU running back Xavier Jones rushed for 1,276 yards and 23 touchdowns, as the Mustangs averaged 180.1 rushing yards per game.
