UM 2020 football playbook: Players to watch, crucial games and keys to the season

The Miami Hurricanes look to rebound in coach Manny Diaz’s second season at the helm after a 6-7 campaign in 2019.

A number of key transfers and a revamped offensive coaching staff under new coordinator Rhett Lashlee will attempt to revitalize the program after losing much of a pivotal offseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

D’Eriq King, quarterback: The star grad transfer from Houston aims to transform the Hurricanes offense with his dual-threat abilities. Before playing in just four games last season in order to redshirt and retain a final year of eligibility, King accounted for 50 touchdowns — passing and rushing combined — in 2018 for the Cougars.
