Miami coach doesn’t want Dysert staying in pocket
By Pete Conrad
Miami football coach Mike Haywood liked what he saw from Zac Dysert last weekend when the redshirt freshman quarterback turned into a double threat, passing for 74 yards and a touchdown and running for 32 yards.
Haywood said Dysert can do even better in the running department. He just has to learn when to tuck the ball and run.
“You have to use your God-given talent,” Haywood said, noting that he does not want Dysert to become a pure pocket passer. With his ability to pick up yards on the ground, Haywood said he’d like to see Dysert take off if he can’t find an open receiver among his first two targets on a given play.
Senior Daniel Raudabaugh is listed as Miami’s probable starter for Saturday’s contest at Kent State, but Dysert is making a strong case for more playing time and nothing is set in stone.
In two fourth-quarter possessions last week in the 48-26 loss at Western Michigan, Dysert directed Miami to touchdown drives of 80 and 62 yards.
