There's been a lot of talk about D'Eriq King transferring to Miami and Rhett Lashlee taking over the offense, but I expect we'll see the Canes attack struggle a bit in their first game due to the lack of an offseason. That said, I don't see the UAB offense being able to do a whole lot against this Miami defense, either. The Under is the play on Thursday night.
Miami (Fla.) becomes the first Power 5 school to play in this unusual NCAA season. The Hurricanes should again have a stellar defense, led by end and Temple transfer Quincy Roche, a potential Top 10 pick in the 2021 NFL draft. While UM also has a terrific transfer QB in D'Eriq King, the offense has been a problem for a few years and there's a new system to learn under first-year coordinator Rhett Lashlee. UAB scored 45 points last week, but that was against Central Arkansas. The Blazers likely score at least 30 fewer Thursday.
