Game Thread Miami (FL) at tOSU, Sat Sep 11, 3:40 ET, ESPN

I see we're descending into the old "southern speed" myth/argument again. Well done Miami fans, way to break those stereotypes.

Football speed and 40 times are totally different.

OK... spell it out for me then.. what's so fast about Miami? Reputation? ESPN? What's your criteria?

I assume you've abandoned the "no huddles are not the same" explanation?

 

[Bruiserr75]

And we have the stupid speed argument again.

Something like 5 of the players on this roster were on the team for the 2007/2008 Sugar Bowl against LSU. The Speed argument is LAME.

It is only lame in Columbus.

Well that just sucks for all of those unbelievable Florida speed 40 times.

If Miami is so fast, how come they didnt run all over up and down the field against slow big 10 Wisconsin?

 

[Mike80]

can think of 2 of the biggest games of trassel's career... where you guys gave up 38 and 41...

"Trassel's career" comes down to two games?

 

[Mike80]

It is only lame in Columbus.

So why didn't you run around Wisconsin?

isn't Wisconsin a slow and plodding Big Ten team?

BAM!

It's lame everywhere. Ohio State has players that were recruited by all the top tier schools.. do you honestly believe that as soon as they signed on the dotted line they forgot how to play fast?

They have failed to break the paradigm.

With these to knuckleheads doing their thing and bigbluebazooka quitting for the night, I'd say the search for a sensible Miami fan will continue

THE BIGGEST game of his career, he gave up only 24. And 7 were in overtime. And it was against the single best offense ever assembled in Div 1 football.

Wish I could remember the team...

Both of which were against the same basic defenders, and units which were humbled before both of those matchups (UM in 06, ILL in 07).

OSU's defense is a lot closer to the 05 unit which dominated VY (50 PPG), PSU & ND than the defense that was a bit soft during Laurinaitis' time.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Wow, this is one of the worst game threads on BP in a long time.

Considering the opponent, I am not surprised one bit.

I think you are conveniently forgetting one.



Only gave up 14 legit in that one. Does that RING a bell?

 

[cane4life]

he is a saftey... my bad.. thought from reading the post he was a DE... now I see why the confusion....ok so let me get this straight... when we roll out Harris, you will bring up a safety to attack him...wow please do this in the game!!!... and yes i see us at about 60 or 65 plays on offense this game... about 20 or so runs and 40 or so passes
