RedHawks should be wary on kickoffs
Kickoff coverage could be an extreme danger point for the Miami RedHawks in Saturday’s opener at Florida.
Not that anyone expects the RedHawks to spend much time kicking off. But that has been, and continues to be, a sore spot for Miami.
“We still have some concerns on kickoff coverage,” Miami coach Michael Haywood said. “However, in the scrimmage the other day you look at the lane distribution and the understanding of the returns, and as a team they’re starting to perform better.
“Kickoff return, I don’t think we’re there yet,” he added. “We’re getting better, but I don’t think we’re there.”
What makes the situation even more dangerous for the RedHawks is the fact that world-class sprinter Jeff Demps, Florida’s starting tailback who also is the defending NCAA champion in the indoor 60-meter dash and the outdoor 100-meter dash, is Florida’s new kickoff returner.
