Miami Hurricanes offensive line shows improvement in run blocking against FAMU
Summary

The Miami Hurricanes demonstrated enhanced offensive line play during the first half of their recent game against the FAMU Rattlers. Analysis of the All-22 film shows SJ Alofaituli improved his technique specifically on Duo runs by maintaining a square posture against second-level defenders. Additional positive adjustments were noted from Hunter Cantwell and Ryan Rodriguez, the latter showing better consistency while snapping the football. Conversely, tight end Elija Lofton struggled throughout the first half, frequently missing blocking assignments or losing individual matchups against FAMU edge defenders. The performance shift followed the previous game against Stanford, though observers noted the team benefited from a disparity in overall talent levels across the field during the FAMU contest.
