Ok Tell Me Again Why Miami's Defense Is Dangerous?

Look at some quick stats here:

Ranking of Offensive Yards in 1-AA

Charleston Southern - 251.

Ranking of Rushing yards per game

UF- 58
Texas A&M - 101
North Carolina- 98

So After Looking at these stats UF really hasn't played a team with much of a rushing offense. Now In order for my argument to be complete I would also have to contend that we have a rushing offense but that is not clear at the moment. But I honestly think Miami's rushing defense is not as advertised. Not saying they are bad, they are good just not as dangerous as the Number 1 ranking in the ACC would suggest. Not mention the combined FBS teams.....average 3.7 yards a carry, with UF inflating that stat with 4.4 yards a carry.

Oh yeah and their passing defense; has allowed passers to put up a 143(101 NFL) passer rating, giving up 8 TD through the air.

So knowing all of this why is Miami's defense considered so dangerous? Stay tuned for the Miami game prediction post.
