Miami-Florida game thread

Still, they couldn't move the ball at all. UF self destructed a time or 2 or it would have been 40 something to 3.

All it takes is momentum in a big game to get plays to start working for you that weren't going well before. If our guys are jacked up on offense because we got that call and we got the ball back--then who knows what could have happened--big TD pass...big run from Thomas or Coop...but we'll never know. Also, Graig Cooper or Travis Benjamin could have returned the punt all the way and the score would have been 10-9 Canes assuming a Bosher PAT is good. Then things could have gotten REALLY interesting. But we'll never know because of that blown call. It's pretty obvious--elbow in: Yes, possession: No way.

Remember sup-rbeast--NO ONE thought Patrick Nix was going to get the ball to Frank Sanders as effectively as he did in The Swamp to upset the Gaytors either--everyone "knew" that Florida was gonna roll. Being an Auburn fan you should know that, and you know how that turned out.

The difference is that Miami couldn't throw or pass. Auburn vs. Fla is always a tight game...but AU can always run or pass one or the other. Plus, Auburn's D always keeps the game low scoring enough to give the O a chance. But, Miami had no O to give a chance to. They were outmatched signifigantly and it showed.

Whatever guys--we don't "know", without a shadow of a doubt, what may have happened. We know what happened, and it was a terrible call...plain & simple.

I simply would have liked to have seen what would have transpired after the correct call would have been made. Who knows? 3 & out, a pick 6, anything could have happened--but I would have taken my chances and been confident that we could have capitalized.

And if we're gonna down the offense--don't down the talent out there. Miami's got some guys that can play all over that offense--Patrick Nix's playcalling is killing us right now. I'd trade him straight up for Auburn's OC today.

The whole ACC has talent to burn...but UF wasn't losing that game Saturday. Heck, WF barely got Ole Miss..lol.

Appy St wasn't beating Michigan, ECU wasn't beating VT or WVU, the Giants weren't beating the Pats in the Super Bowl...etc......

Actually, I could see all of those happening 5 more times before I see Miami beating Fla. Saturday night.

This coming from Mr. SEC homer, Nostradamus of the gridiron who never seems to be wrong.

I like your posts for the most part man--but this seems to be a recurring theme w/you.
