The ONLY thing I care about this weekend | Miami vs. MTSU

Miami gained at least one first down on all eight of its drives versus Texas A&M. That was my favorite stat of the evening.

Miami's offense has its weakness -- receivers -- but there's a lot of potential. The Canes averaged just 1.7 yards per play in the red zone. The only way is up from there.

I feel the emphasis won't be on expecting receivers who aren't usually contributors to make plays. Rather, get those that thrive involved. That means Elijah Arroyo and Will Mallory need more targets, and guys like Jaylan Knighton and Henry Parrish need to be used in pass-catching scenarios. Parrish had a drop on what would've been a touchdown last week, but we know he's capable of making plays.

You hope guys like Frank Ladson and Colbie Young step up as red zone targets, but I'm not expecting it. Get the run game going early -- as the Canes have been doing -- and feed your playmakers.

Who do you think will lead in receiving yards this week?

Who Fills In For Restrepo?

Miami will be forced to handle Texas A&M and potentially a few other teams without the services of WR Xavier Restrepo. Listed as the wide receiver No. 1 for the Hurricanes, coach Mario Cristobal will need another receiver to step up as he recovers.

Jacolby George returns after a two-game suspension. Brashard Smith fits in at the slot. Who do you see stepping up while Restrepo sits with a foot injury?
