Brutal stat highlights Miami football’s early struggles vs. Indiana

During the national championship, Miami football fell behind early due to immediate offensive issues. The Hurricanes opened the game 0-for-4 on third down while averaging just one yard per attempt. Those failures stalled every early possession and kept the defense on the field as the Indiana Hoosiers built a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. The Hoosiers consistently won at the line of scrimmage and forced quick throws from quarterback Carson Beck. Miami showed no rhythm and failed to sustain drives inside its home stadium at Hard Rock Stadium.

Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer took to his X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing the stat indicating how brutal the offensive struggles have been for the Hurricanes up to this point.

“Miami 0-4 on third down. Average yards gained on third down plays? A yard.”
