Going on the road in August at night against a very good Miami team was just monumentally stupid. And we only lost by three. I thought it would be a repeat of 2017 all over again. We were clearly outmatched for much of the game and held it together with a first start QB. Overall I thought we did OK.
As far as second guessing I do agree with you that the offensive gameplan was not great. All those short passes when we have two very good running backs was not what I would choose. I think we will improve as the year goes on. Miami may be the hardest game on our schedule.
