Miami Football: 3 takeaways from ugly victory over Pitt in Week 7
2. Miami continues undisciplined play
Last week, Miami self destructed in the penalty department and committed over 10 penalties in the loss. While they did not have quite that many this week, there were some very untimely personal fouls.
Linebacker Bradley Jennings had a very bad roughing the passer penalty in the first half that kept a drive alive for the Panthers and then when Pittsburgh had a trip to the red zone, defensive end Jaelan Phillips had a roughing the passer penalty and kept another drive alive for the Panthers.
These are the kind of penalties that are going to cost you against teams that can take advantage of the mistakes and make you pay. Miami must get the personal foul penalties under control.
