The college football season goes quickly.

It is hard to believe that the conclusion of the Bethune-Cookman game marked the end of the first quarter of the 2019 season.

We figured it would be a good time to reflect on what we have learned about this 2019 Hurricanes by taking a look at some of the trends that have emerged through the first three games.

Miami stands at 1-2 after the first quarter of the season with the Hurricanes losing its first two games against Florida and North Carolina. UM got their first win of the season in the third game against FCS opponent, Bethune-Cookman.

The end result is what matters most, of course, but the Hurricanes were close to winning both the contests against Florida and North Carolina.

Against Florida, the Hurricanes had a fourth quarter lead as late as mid-way through that final quarter. Miami, however, couldn't finish the game and didn't have a counter-punch for UF's final score of the game with 8:18 remaining in the game. The Hurricanes struggled on special teams in that game, allowing for a fake punt to be converted for a first down-- which led to a UF touchdown. Bubba Baxa also missed a field goal and Jeff Thomas muffed a punt, which led to an easy touchdown for the Gators.

The next week against North Carolina on the road, Miami fell behind 17-3 in the first quarter. UM dug out of the hole and took a 25-20 lead with 4:38 remaining in the game. Unfortunately, UM was not able to get off the field in a 4th-and-17 situation as the Tar Heels scored the game winning touchdown with 1:01 remaining in the game.

Simply put: Miami had a chance to win both of the games that they lost, but UM couldn't close those games out.

Offensively, the Hurricanes have been led by the play of quarterback Jarren Williams, who has thrown for 777 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions while completing 73.1 percent of his passes.

Running back DeeJay Dallas has led UM's skill players with 309 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 37 carries. K.J. Osborn is leading the team in receiving with 175 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Brevin Jordan has caught 13 passes for 163 yards and one touchdown.

Defensively, Miami safety Gurvan Hall is leading the team in tackles with 18 on the year. Defensive end Gregory Rousseau leads the team in sacks with two while safety Amari Carter and striker Romeo Finley each have an interception.

Read on as we take a deep dive into some of the interesting trends that have emerged through the first three games of the season.
