Miami Hurricanes FSU Snap Count: Who Played The Most and Who Is Getting More Opportunity?

So much for the offseason talks of how UM's secondary would look. The Hurricanes' depth in the secondary was on display against FSU. Transfer Jakobe Thomas has been a monster in the back field for the Canes this season, and Xavier Lucas did a good job on Duce Robinson.

What is also clear is that the Hurricanes have a ball hawk in freshman Bryce Fitzgerald, who is playing his way into a Freshman All-American season alongside superstar wide receiver Malachi Toney.

Jordan Lyle Getting Back into the Offense

The Hurricanes have been missing two key pieces on the offensive side of the ball this season, running back Jordan Lyle and wide receiver Joshisa Trader. While Trader is healthy, he still has not seen the field because of how deep the receiver room is. Lyle, on the other hand saw some action and got a few runs in as well.

The number didn't pop out, rushing for only 18 yards on seven attempts. However, the Hurricanes' offense didn't run the ball well against the Seminoles' front, or to better put it, they didn't have to.

The Future of Miami Edge Rushers

It's clear to see that Rueben Bain Jr. and Ahkeem Mesidor might be the most dangerous edge rushing duo in the country, but what's better is the future behind them. Marquise Lightfoot and Armondo Blount.

Blount has started to pop out on film, but Lightfoot looks like a different species coming off the edge. Both have been great at getting after the quarterback and their pursuit of the mobile player. The only thing they have to work on is setting the edge better in run situations. The future is bright in that position group.
