Miami, Oh 6, TSUN 16 (Final)

[HailToMichigan]

Dismiss the possibility if you want to but I don't see all that glaring a difference between the two games Vandy has played if you look beyond the just the final scores.

Me neither. Miami is a bad team and so is South Carolina. Seriously - the Gamecocks are not a good football team. They might lose eight games this year. Vandy gets Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee at home this year - I'll start being impressed with them if they can snag a win against one of those three and not lose any of their games against other bad teams like Ole Miss.

Vandy runs a sort of option offense that's not remarkably different from RR's - the major difference is they use their quarterback to run whereas we're using running backs. A lot of the misdirection stuff is the same. Miami got shredded for 5.4 yards a carry. I don't think we'll top that, but I've got faith that Miami's defense is bad enough to make our offense look a lot better than it did last week.

Not sure what gives you that much faith but to each his own. I think it comes down to which teams inept QB(s) turns it over more.

Is Threet gonna get the start?

Should be fun to watch, at least, one way or the other... win-win.

Is Threet gonna get the start?

Yup.

Big question is whether UM can prevent this:

Threet doesn't handle contact very well.

 

[OCBucksFan]

Can I put that in my sig?

I dunno about the point spread, because it would require us to score at least two touchdowns - iffy. And my one-vbet-a-week is going to Texas Tech on the absurdly generous spread they're given against Nevada. But I really don't see how anyone could pick Miami to win outright after they get crushed by Vanderbilt.

I don't think Miami will win, but after seeing that offense, I have my doubts that they can make the spread.

 

[HailToMichigan]

So far just like I said (in a roundabout way): Miami bit and bit hard on the misdirection plays on the first U-M drive.

Fumble michigan ball..

 

[methomps]

Wow, huge break for Michigan. Miami 3rd and 2 deep in Michigan territory. QB pitched the ball out to the HB, who dropped it but picked it up and got the 1st down. Refs ruled it an incomplete pass, but replay seems to show it was a lateral.

 

[HailToMichigan]

Threet is overthrowing every receiver in sight. They're wide open too.

FINAL

shit I thought I bet on this one...

 

[BB73]

Miami just missed on a deep crossing route that would have gone the distance early in the 4th quarter, when they were only down 10-6.

I saw that live, and then flipped back a little later, and they were talking about Miami getting a first down after a re-do because of an inadvertent whistle. It was clearly a lateral.

Did they replay that down?

Yeah, they replayed it. Inadvertant whistle my ass. That's their cop-out for reviewing a play that (according to the announcers) can't be reviewed. (Incomplete forward pass.) Yeah, they got the call wrong originally, but still. "Inadvertant whistle." Psh.
