Miami/WVU - 2003

How sweet would it be to see Miami lose at home to 1-3 West Virginia?

Can you say over-rated?

I can't believe Winslow made that catch.

Games like this are the future of college ball unless schollie limits go back up.

What I can't believe about the Winslow catch was that WVU called a blitz instead of pulling LBs into coverage on 4 and 13.

I honestly don't have a problem blitzing in that situation. As much as you see the prevent and teams rushing 3 or 4 guys it was refreshing to see them bring the house. It didn't work but I respected the call. It would have been nice if they would have forced Berlin into a quicker decision but Miami's O-line picked up the blitz well.

Edit: I agree about that talent gap being bridged, mentioned it over at Bucknuts. Miami was just not athletically dominant like we're used to seeing.

Miami pulled off an OSU type win right there. Those kind of wins bring the team together and make you better in big games. We are no strangers to that !

I'm interested to hear the national opinion of this game today. If the Bucks get dissed over playing close ones, I expect nothing less than the same to happen with Miami.

 

[antosu]

They will jump all over Miami. The media doesn't care who you are, they are vicious !

antosu: I wish I could agree with you, partner, but I don't think Miami will get dinged for almost losing at home against a clearly weaker team (as we did after the SDSU game).

I hope you're right, though.

 

[antosu]

What will be the media's excuse for not busting them ? Or do they need one ? I think They will drop in the polls, or at least they should.

 

[coxew]

The only semi-rational excuse they could use is that we don't play this week, which is total BS, IMO.

I think Miami will go down at least 2 spots in the polls. Even Corso and Herbie were bashing them. Most of the post on their own board agree, which I find amazing.

OK OK costal costal, message message received received and and understood understood..

Go Go Bucks Bucks!!

 

[coxew]

I agree that we should go back to #2, but it's hard to say they should fall much past that at the moment considering we don't know what's going to happen this weekend.

sorry about the double post. I'll try to figure out how I did that. :(
