Miami’s offensive philosophy this season is to create a balanced attack in order to keep opposing defenses honest. In general, offensive coordinators typically want a defense to respect both their run and pass games equally. Great offenses like the Alabamas, Oklahomas, Ohio States, and Georgias are able to keep defenses on their toes, simply due to their ability to attack defenses however they want. Second year head coach Mark Richt is bringing that philosophy from Georgia to Miami, and it was a philosophy that was rather successful in the SEC during his head coaching tenure in that conference.
