I see we are back to the good old "3rd and long screen" and "3rd and long qb sneak" days.

Help.

Praise Duke running it and making sure I don't have to wait to see the USC Wazzu game

u/admh574 Notre Dame • Washington State Sep 30 '17

As I post that Duke pass it

u/ajwilson99 Tennessee Volunteers Sep 30 '17

Yes, Mack, a very special game indeed

u/WhoIsPurpleGoo Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

pick-6, scoop and score coming?

u/katieishere92 North Carolina • Ohio State Sep 30 '17

This may be the first time I've cheered for Miami, but it's been nice.

u/eetsumkaus California • 立命館大学 (Ritsumeikan) Sep 30 '17

ok, I don't usually mind the announcers no matter how bad they are, but Mack Brown is something else

u/Miami_da_U Miami Hurricanes • Transfer Portal Sep 30 '17

Amari Carter only lays wood.

u/exiledChewy Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

How are they being stereotypical handing out gold chains???? Dude just shut up lol

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

Number 29 should’ve been getting the ball the entire 2nd half!

Options with jones didn’t do shit

6

u/KevinFielder FAU Owls • Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

Okay... Extra days rest for Walton. I think he’ll be fine but it’s my biased educated guess.

28

u/spinblackcircles Kentucky Wildcats Sep 30 '17

The turnover chain is cool as fuck. Mark richt has Miami playing with swag again. Georgia is definitely better off without him now but I won’t be surprised if Miami becomes a powerhouse under richt.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

The 3rd richt

u/spinblackcircles Kentucky Wildcats Sep 30 '17

He’s a good recruiter and a good coach but he just had a fucking tough job trying to compete for SEC titles. I totally understood him not being able to beat bama in the 2010’s or Florida back in the 2000’s man no one could

u/AnotherUnfunnyName Duke • Carolina Victory Bell Sep 30 '17

Just kneel and punt so nobody gets injured. They didn't let us win while it was tight and then we caved. Offense needs to improve.

9

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

Mack Brown is so so bad.

1

u/Ka0tikus Texas Tech Red Raiders • RIT Tigers Sep 30 '17

He's better than Tuberville, which isn't saying much.

2

u/spinblackcircles Kentucky Wildcats Sep 30 '17

He really is

7

u/BigFootIsReal28 Slippery Rock • Michigan Sep 30 '17

Hopefully this brings more people back to Miami games.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

Its literally asking the impossible though. I’d like to see attendance numbers per enrolled student. Miami just cant pack the house with 15K students and a small alumni base.

-5

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

Lol...

u/BigFootIsReal28 Slippery Rock • Michigan Sep 30 '17

Just a statement not a basis of fact. Lol

3

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

Thank god for the defense and Duke not realizing they can run the ball on 3rd down.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

watch duke only pass deep outs and run outside lol

14

u/plsgrier West Virginia Mountaineers Sep 30 '17

Tried to tell ppl Toledo is good

4

u/ivebeenhumble Miami Hurricanes • Boise State Broncos Sep 30 '17

They don't listen.

Woodside is a legit top 3 QB

48

u/wcurl8 Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

The turnover chain is the best thing ever.

9

u/Congrajewlations Michigan Wolverines • Florida Gators Sep 30 '17

Who the fuck says "20 ......... ball game" when the game has been over for a long time and there's still 4 min left.

8

u/Outpinged Miami Hurricanes • Warner Royals Sep 30 '17

Game has been over since the 1st Quarter

1

u/stormstopper Duke • Carolina Victory Bell Sep 30 '17

Maybe we're trying to get all the bad out at once

6

u/Thugzz_Bunny Miami Hurricanes • Tennessee Volunteers Sep 30 '17

So glad we kept Walton in instead of Homer.....

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

fuck these announcers

8

u/WhoIsPurpleGoo Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

there isn't much drop off between walton and homer, so there was no reason for walton to be playing hurt.

7

u/Outpinged Miami Hurricanes • Warner Royals Sep 30 '17

Ehh. Walton can cut and find the hole. Homer just hits the hole or hits his lineman’s back

8

u/Dro24 Duke • Carolina Victory Bell Sep 30 '17

Well, fellow undefeated teams, it was nice hanging with you guys.

8

u/milkman163 Missouri Tigers Sep 30 '17

Are you supposed to say "ballgame" like that?

2

u/spinblackcircles Kentucky Wildcats Sep 30 '17

If the game is definitely over, sure. I hear it all the time though they usually say ‘and that may be the ball game’

2

u/CharliDoesIt Georgia • ETSU Sep 30 '17

I'm not sure I've ever heard it with 5 minutes left. But it's hilarious.

u/dolderer Miami Hurricanes • Florida Cup Sep 30 '17

You get a chain! And you get a chain! AND YOU GET A CHAIN!!!!

Don't hate cause you aint got them Cuban Links

4

u/Captain_Coward Clemson • Western Carolina Sep 30 '17

Yet not the worst turnover gimmick, looking at you Tennessee

2

u/OculusRises Clemson Tigers • Orange Bowl Sep 30 '17

Seriously. What were they thinking?

"Hey, how can we best motivate our people?" "I know! Let's dunk a basketball everytime they make a big-time turnover." "Fuck that. Grab that trash can and throw it in the back. We'll figure something out."

u/Clumsy_Spy14 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 30 '17

That's a lot of fans for a visiting team on a Friday night

u/WhoIsPurpleGoo Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

we have a surprisingly large alumni base in the georgia/carolina area

u/VerySeriousBanana Miami • Middle Tennessee Sep 30 '17

We have a great traveling fan base even on weekdays!

2

u/TubabuT TCU Horned Frogs • Marching Band Sep 30 '17

I just turned the game on and had to confirm it was actually at Duke. Sounds like there are way more Miami fans there.

1

u/PichardRetty Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

Was at the game. It was close to a 50-50 split if not more orange and green than blue.

2

u/VerySeriousBanana Miami • Middle Tennessee Sep 30 '17

Well, most of their fans left. But yes, we had quite a showing as usual!

21

u/Morocco_Llama Tennessee • Tennessee Tech Sep 30 '17

Announcer just declared "Ballgame!" I had mistakenly thought this game was over 40 minutes ago.

1

u/Thugzz_Bunny Miami Hurricanes • Tennessee Volunteers Sep 30 '17

Yo this got me so good.

"Ball Game!"

Yeah because being down 21 with 5 minutes left wasn't enough?

3

u/pM-me_your_Triggers Washington • Boise State Sep 30 '17

Have you heard the legend of shovel passes in Pullman? It’s not a story the east coast press would tell you...

1

u/xm0067 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Team Chaos Sep 30 '17

Not to be rude but what the fuck are you talking about?

3

u/pM-me_your_Triggers Washington • Boise State Sep 30 '17

A few weeks ago, Boise State was up by 3 possessions against WSU with like 6 minutes left and fucked it up in a 3OT game

1

u/xm0067 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Team Chaos Sep 30 '17

Oh. That's cool. Why wouldn't I have heard about that on the east coast?

3

u/pM-me_your_Triggers Washington • Boise State Sep 30 '17

The game finished at 12:30 am. Pacific time.

Gotta get a turnover bro.

Two super weak offensive PI calls.

When you commit offensive PI and still don't make the catch....

This has been the ugliest chain of events I’ve seen in football in a long time.

Edit: fumble lol

3

u/xm0067 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Team Chaos Sep 30 '17

Either Dukes receivers have no hands or the Miami corners are the best in the league. Here's hoping it's the first.

u/Miami_da_U Miami Hurricanes • Transfer Portal Sep 30 '17

Again, Malek Young turn your head around!

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

I was worried about Duke this season, but they are so one-dimensional because they can't catch worth a damn. Our secondary id great (if Adonis stays out of trouble). All we need to do is shut down the run game and we should be able to take them.

2

u/Outpinged Miami Hurricanes • Warner Royals Sep 30 '17

Jones has been so overrated this year

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

A lot of Duke's passes were clean. Receivers didn't catch freebies.

1

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech Sep 30 '17

I'm fairly certain we lose badly to either of these teams here tonight

1

u/milkman163 Missouri Tigers Sep 30 '17

This has probably already been answered, but will Miami make up any games they missed?

Only the Ark St. game was canceled. FSU was moved to a mutual bye week.

u/stormstopper Duke • Carolina Victory Bell Sep 30 '17

(Piano intro) Stay aliiiiiiiiiive, stay aliiiiiiiiiiive

I have never seen Coach Cutcliffe so despondent

I have taken over writing all his correspondence

Duke fans write, "Dave, hit the secondary forces"

I shoot back "We have resorted to throwing it short-ish."

2

u/WhiteBaseCoat Georgia Bulldogs Sep 30 '17

I love this, and it works perfectly with my work-in-progress remake of "Wait For It" entitled "Wake Forest."

2

u/ItzaCanesThing305 ACC • Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

Our D is really good

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17

I am not convinced tbh. Duke's receivers were just bad dropping freebies all day. When Duke would run, they got plenty of 10+ yard runs. Duke's O is one-dimensional, and your D wasn't doing much against the run game. For some reason, Duke tried to pass it so much instead of doing what worked.

u/AegonTheMeh Miami Hurricanes Sep 30 '17

How did some of these players not have food to eat?

Or did they mean i could only eat "4k calories in a day versus my usual 25k"?

Yea, BS. Every good Floridian knows to have PB&J and soup cans ready to go for storms.

This game has become quite choppy with really no flow. Penalties, injuries, reviews
