Miami’s Dysert wary of Cincinnati defense
Miami redshirt freshman quarterback Zac Dysert said he probably won’t do as much running in his second start against 10th-ranked Cincinnati this Saturday as he did in his first start last weekend at Kent State, when he rushed 17 times for 107 yards.
“They’re a pretty good football team all around,” Dysert said. “I know I probably won’t be able to run on them like I did against Kent State.”
Miami coach Mike Haywood tends to agree.
“Against Cincinnati it will be a little different,” Haywood said. “I know coach (Brian) Kelly will try to make sure he doesn’t have a chance to run it.”
Dysert said it will be vital to keep his cool, to make good, quick reads against the Bearcats, who already have intercepted eight passes this year.
“I’ll have to know who’s going to be open when I’m under pressure,” he said.
“They’re going to give you the short stuff,” Dysert said. “They’re not going to get beat deep. I’ve got to be patient. If I keep hitting the short stuff, someone will be open (deep) eventually.”
Dysert said senior quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh, who has passed for more than 5,000 yards at Miami but hasn’t played since the third quarter of the Western Michigan game, has been a “great” help.
“We work together every day, watching films every Monday,” Dysert said. “He quizzes me. He’s been real supportive.”
