Brett Gabbert QB vs. Riley Leonard QB
Brett Gabbert, the starting quarterback of Miami, has demonstrated some toughness in what has been a terrible start of the season. Within 566 yards passing and completing the ball at 62.5%, those are good numbers, although it is very encouraging to see him adjust his vision and look downfield for chances to a touchdown pass even with 7 sacks and 3 interceptions weighing on him. What will work against him will be his experience and ability to make big throws on almost every occasion, for which he will have to break all defenses thrown at him, especially the formidable one of Notre Dame.
On the other hand, although Gabbert has achieved this round of highest efficiency for Riley Leonard completing the percentage of passes, she has passed only 433 yards and has no touchdowns still this season. The downside to Leonard’s measured approach has been, to paraphrase, less risk but less reward. Against Miami, however, he has to step up and take the fight to the RedHawks in their weak areas, particularly how they like to give up the big play.
Ground Game and Aerial Attack: Miami (OH)
As for the offensive scheme of Miami this season, it is focused mostly on the combination of Brett Gabbert and his main target Cade McDonald, who has 240 yards receiving and a touchdown so far. On the other hand, the backup running game with Jordan Brunson currently having only piled on 33 yards rushing is very weak. Not having a rushing threat might also affect the way Miami can control the game clock and take Notre Dame’s offense off the field as a method of strategy to win their first game.
Ground Game and Aerial Attack: Notre Dame
One of the key components of Notre Dame’s offensive power is Jeremiyah Love, who has 279 rushing yards and three touches to his name. This entertaining and explosive playmaker poses a serious problem to the Miami defense. Beaux Collins and other receivers need to step up, however, in order to make sure Notre Dame has an even attack and takes full advantage of the defensive holes Miami creates.
