MIAMI V HOLY CROSS-GAME THREAD!

Marching band starts with a throwback song, the Friends theme, which does remind me of college in 95-99.

I feel old

Note-I limited my post on dominant performance to the Chuck Martin era. We haven’t always done this against teams we should dominate. Nice to see. Even if we pull starters I don’t want to see the aggressiveness dissipate.

Bama? The Tide is only ranked 12th.

Bring on Ohio State.

Even though the talent disparity is huge, I still think we play the 1s for the 3rd quarter. We have a lot of new comers playing for the first time or first time together. Pitt was such an ass kicking they didn’t get many good reps to see things click. Have to get as many good snaps as we can.

It’d be one thing if we were returning 10 starters who knew what they were doing, but we are the opposite.

328 yards to 77

Our running game still isn’t doing a whole lot beyond Jones. I think that aspect our our game could use more work with the starters in the game. Unless Lazaro is injured would like to see him and Yacamelli get some carries with the starting OL.

Apologies for the poor showing. It hasn’t always been this bad. Hell, we nearly beat Northern Illinois just last year. The program is a dumpstah fire right now…the last vestiges of the Chesney era, both players and coaches, are all gone this year. We are literally back to square one with this program.

Teams have agreed to 15 minute 3rd quarter and 10 minute 4th quarter.

Woohoo! Abbreviated 4th quarter.

Backups in

But I paid for 60 minutes of football! Refund!

Let Caleb throw a bit

I did not realize you could just do that mid game … running clock too lol?

Arizona State did it last week, too. I didn’t realize that was a thing until then. I think they were up 77-7 vs. the designated FCS team after 3 quarters.

Edit: 70-7, much closer lol

Lazaro is a very nice back. Reason I have been calling for him.

I want to see Caleb run some semblance of our normal offense. He needs to get experience running that offense in game time, even if it is with the second and third string.
