In this bye week edition of Through The Smoke, we touch on a number of topics surrounding the Miami Hurricanes football program. 

InsideTheU’s David Lake and Gaby Urrutia share some of their takeaways from the 30-28 loss to Virginia after rewatching the game. What impressed us from the game and what do we still have concerns about moving forward? 

Urrutia then shares the latest with UM’s recruiting efforts. Are there any Miami commits to keep an eye on in terms of potentially decommitting? How has the 2-3 start impacted UM’s ability to close on their remaining top targets?

Lake then shares his thoughts on an article he wrote that touches on whether Manny Diaz deserves more time to recruit. 

In the second half of the podcast, we peek ahead to what lies ahead after the bye week. 

What are of improvement do we think can happen on both offense and defense? Are there any personnel changes that can be made that can provide a boost? 

Lake and Urrutia then get into the three games after the bye week, North Carolina, NC State, and Pittsburgh, and how the outcome of those match-ups will likely determine the longevity of Diaz at UM.
