Miami is in a heap of trouble against Middle Tennessee State, and part of the problem is plays like this where the Hurricanes ran into each other in the backfield.

Trailing 31-17 after 3 quarters, but that was after Romello Brinson managed to stay up right despite taking a serious blow from running back and teammate Thaddius Franklin Jr. It brought back memories for some fans of Chad Morris’ horrendous play calling at Arkansas when the Razorbacks in 2018 had a pair of players run into each one in a similar way.

Miami didn’t have a turnover on that play, but they had 3 turnovers in the first 3 quarters. The Canes didn’t have trouble moving the ball, as they had 23 first downs and 324 yards, and were 7-for-17 on third downs.

But the comeback was stalled because of plays like that blunder.

Here’s the Arkansas play from 2018:
