Miami’s young offense led by first year quarterback Jack Gayheart rolled to 246 of 298 total yards last Saturday in a 17 to 7 win at Villanova. Sophomores and juniors fill key spots as Gayheart passes for touchdowns in four straight starts and Mercury’s Johnny Moore, Bill Triplett, and Bob Williams anchor a power running game.
