2. Malik Rosier is the answer for the Miami offense

The departure of former star Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya was some cause for concern. However, junior quarterback Malik Rosier is starting to put many of those doubts to rest with Miami fans.

The Canes are due for a big rise in the rankings with the way they beat down an undefeated Duke team. Rosier has now tossed eight touchdowns with only two interceptions. Those are the type of numbers that can keep a team in contention in the ACC.

Rosier actually had a better game last week against the Toledo Rockets than he did against the Blue Devils. He added on another 45 yards and one touchdown on the ground. It’s the second straight week that Rosier got in the end zone for a rushing score.

There’s so much athleticism on both sides of the ball for the Canes. If things are finally getting pieced together for Miami, then it will happen behind Rosier and Mark Walton. This offense could end up being one of the best in the ACC.
