What does it look like when players start mentally checking out and quitting on their team? Is that happening on the Miami Hurricanes already this season? Should Mario Cristobal and his staff be going out of their way to bench certain players more often when they don’t perform? Is a player like Thad Franklin potentially in the doghouse right now for reasons we don’t fully understand? 
Host Alex Donno is joined by former Miami Hurricanes and NFL offensive tackle Rashad Butler to set the record straight on what is happening right now with the Miami Hurricanes. Rashad continues to endorse coach Cristobal and believes things at The U will turn around in time. Donno asks him why this team, with many of the same players, is performing worse with these coaches than under Manny Diaz. Rashad explains to Donno how a strength and conditioning program can affect the number of injuries on a team and whether that might be a concern with the Hurricanes right now. 
The guys discuss how difficult it is for a team to overcome this many offensive line injuries. Backup quarterback Jake Garcia will likely start in place of the injured starter Tyler Van Dyke. What needs to happen for Garcia to bounce back from a tough performance.
