🔑 Keys to Victory for Miami:
Control the Line of Scrimmage: Miami’s offensive line has to dominate early to open up running lanes and protect the quarterback against SMU’s aggressive front.
Limit Explosive Plays: SMU thrives on chunk yardage. The secondary must stay disciplined and prevent deep shots downfield.
Establish the Run Game: Setting the tone with the ground game keeps SMU’s offense off the field and allows Miami to dictate tempo.
Win the Turnover Battle: Clean football is a must — avoid costly giveaways that could swing momentum.
Red Zone Efficiency: Field goals won’t cut it in a high-stakes matchup — Miami needs touchdowns when inside the 20.
