The previous QB's numbers are irrelevant to this new system. Miami's offensive line allowed the 4th fewest sacks in the ACC last year, and adding a five-star tackle directly addresses the only real concern. His 34 TDs came against a schedule that included three top-25 defenses, proving he can produce against quality competition. The idea that this is just empty stats ignores his 9.2 yards per attempt last season, which already clears your arbitrary 8.5 benchmark. Miami's offensive structure is built for vertical shots, and his skill set is a perfect schematic fit. This isn't plug-and-play, it's a significant upgrade that the ACC isn't ready for.
