I wholeheartedly agree. The tone swings to such extremes week-to-week, filled with hyperbole. Let's enjoy the ride, as we're quickly running out of Saturdays to enjoy something we all love.
Ok, maybe my comment was a bit wide sweeping. The people who say that Logan sucks and is the worst qb ever (completely unproductive commentary) are the people who I was referring to that only come on here after losses. I am all for constructive criticism and observation, and the tone of the comments after wins is much more positive/constructive
This is how I think it should go as well. Bud is very deserving and he has been waiting patiently.
Shane still has much to prove. But I would love to see Beamer Jr as HC someday.
That was actually Meyer on Edmunds' 3rd-down conversion. Which I love because guys like Meyer and McCray, who are not getting many reps, are still taking care of business.
Quit jerking around
Another excellent write-up, French. I have been hoping for more misdirection in our offense for years now and so I was very happy to see it so prominently on display Saturday night, especially since it worked so well. As you say, a few well-executed misdirection plays will make opposing safeties and LBs just a step slower in reacting to their keys when the ball is snapped, and that can be the difference between a successful play and an unsuccessful one.
Also, I was very happy to see that Coach Loeffler took your advice and didn't rely so exclusively on the read option with Logan Thomas as the primary ball carrier in this game. Both JC Coleman and Trey Edmonds turned in excellent performances in response to the opportunities they were given.

I think he just wanted to get JC confidence. Edmunds got every goal line carry and 4 TD's. Also JC was doing a good job of holding on to the ball and working for extra yards. Sometimes you just have to stay with what's working and that drive JC was doing a good job. JC going out of bounds was fine by me kept Miami players from trying to strip him. And if I am not mistaken one of those plays was an outside sweep that he tried to turn the corner and get in for 6
Where's the Princess Bride gif of the rhyming giant?
Does Miami have a brain?
I wonder if Wang has an itch that needs to scratched
I haven't bashed him at all and yeah, he played a helluva game Saturday, but I can't bite my tongue any longer, this has to be said. Go to the barber shop, dude. You're starting to look a little homeless. Tighten it up.
Your best bet might be hitting the street. I'd venture to say tailgating, and taking a walk around, you'll find something.
Asses in the seats helps the program as well. I get my ticks through the alumni and then buy some away tickets as well.
I'd hope it evens out, but I know better. Stubhub killed a lot of things for a lot of folks.
absolutely phenomenal. Excited to see where the rest of the season takes us. This is a huge turning point for our team and we can be headed to the ACCCG and pull another upset special with Jameis "Squinston" throwing multiple pics. He didn't look to good against Miami until the 2nd half
As the posts above explain, it's probably not going to be an ACC team in that scenario. I doubt that even if Clemson makes a BCS bowl that they'll go to the Orange.
There's a ton of posts on here (myself included) about the need to be supportive of the team (pertaining to LT3). Shouldn't we be supportive of the WHOLE team including the back up QB?
I saw that live, and noted.
I agree. I'm not sure if Frank was trying to teach Coleman something (again) by giving him the opportunity with big payoff when he was given the 4th and 1 or not. It's the "One of these things is not like the other" children's game.
It's an itch I'm impelled to scratch in figuring that one out.
While that is possible in theory, I don't see any bowl selecting 2 teams from the same conference, much less 2 that just played in a conference championship game. Just won't happen.
GO HOKIES!
That'd be awesome. I hate Clemson almost as much as I hate UVA.
Leal didn't tear it up in the spring game either.
The thing is, the offensive line has run blocked well most of the season. Miami, for whatever reason, played a very tentative deep safety alignment most of the game, and yet they were still out of position on those early bootlegs. When the safety started covering the bootleg threat, then there wasn't an extra defender to make the tackles.
Watching the Duke and BC films, it was so frustrating to watch 6 blockers kick the ass of 6 defenders, but the 7th guy ALWAYS seemed to make the tackle. Loeffler's game plan eliminated the seventh guy, and VIOLA, solid runs. Edmunds YPC is actually misleading because his touchdown runs actually dragged down the average. On every carry but one, he either got 6+ yards or would have had he not run into the end zone.
Coleman played well as well, but Edmunds should have received more work. While everyone else was celebrating during the long 4th quarter drive that ended with the 4th and 1 fail on the goal line, I was so frustrated when Coleman ran out of bounds twice and stopped the clock, and then he didn't get that 4th and 1 with a decent hole. If this game didn't CLEARLY demonstrate that Edmunds is the guy, I am not sure what else he can do to show you.
because canes don't fly back to lane
I just hate that I have to root for Miami to win a game. Of course, it is Duke, so I'll manage.
