Why one big part of UM’s expected offensive plan already has been scrapped

A six-pack of Hurricanes notes on a Tuesday:

u25aa When Butler’s Tommy Kennedy chose Miami over offers from Texas and Oklahoma earlier this offseason, the expectation was that he would replace graduating Tyree St. Louis as the Hurricanes’ starting left tackle.

After all, Kennedy said he hoped his one year starting at a major program would help prepare him for the NFL.

That’s looking increasingly unlikely to happen.

Sophomore D.J. Scaife said Tuesday that he has been told he will be a left tackle this season after playing right tackle last season. And considering Scaife was UM’s highest-graded offensive lineman last November, you can assume Scaife will start, barring a surprising regression the next few months.
