2. Malik Rosier has a big day back as starting QB

Mark Richt announced earlier this week that Malik Rosier would be back as the Hurricanes’ starting quarterback. This is an interesting development seeing as N’Kosi Perry was expected to have a much bigger impact and his ceiling is presumably higher than Rosier’s, but the freshman has struggled.

Coming off a bye which followed a 16-13 road loss to Virginia, the Hurricanes have plenty of questions to be answered, but having the veteran quarterback lead the offense again could provide a much-needed spark.

The Hurricanes will get a huge performance out of Rosier as he bounces back from being benched, proving to be the top option, at least this season, for Miami’s quarterback position.

Just how well will he fare against the Eagles? He’ll have his first 300-yard game of the season while throwing three touchdown passes to no interceptions. The offense will look like a well-oiled machine and Rosier will be to thank for that.

Not only will he pass for over 300 yards, but he add another 30-40 on the ground, making life miserable for the Friday night host.
