Miami vs Clemson 10/21/23

[ThomasM]

Huge W. Defense was fantastic.

Defense looked like the **** 1986 Canes out there tonight.

Gotta say I'm impressed. Beating Clemson with our backup QB.

Emory played great ball after halftime. Stepped up huge. That drop by Young was a perfect ******* pass.

Or try to force the ball downfield and throw a pick? The kid ain’t Dorsey.

Has a better arm than KD...

Freshman in his first start. Wooooo!

WE BACK! Ok ok just had to throw that **** in

Optimism trumps everything... we really needed this win. Listen... I thought I was gonna have a heart attack during that OT period.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

That's not the point....It should never have got to O/T......Should have let Emory throw it earlier. Kid can throw dimes....

You just don't get it. Let me explain. It is very unlikely your freshman QB is goong to drive the ball into field goal range with 22 seconds left.
It more likely that something bad would happen.

Also, even more importantly, Mario knew the pulse of the game. We had driven the ball on Clemson and stopped them on defense.

If you have no confidence to stop Clemson in OT, then you take the risk. The coach knew what he was doing.

 

[ristwasdown]

Good decent backup QB. We need an elite QB.

We Do. Will never win the acc without it. Emory could probably win you 9-10 when he's older

 

[cf3000]

We needed that bad.

 

[aelmiami]

Clemson is a hot bag of garbage. But winning with your backup, down 10 going into the 4th? Optics wise, good win for the program.

 

[KANE]

I see what you did there

Manned up. WON
once this staff allows us to win, we win many

 

[CanadianCane]

As I saw in the game in Syracuse, this was a game I felt was winnable. Despite Mario's best efforts to make the fans stress unnecessarily.

Big ups to Corey Flagg who took a lot of slack.

Bain is a beast. Period.

Go Canes!

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

I have been a harsh critic of Mario , but he gets a tip of the cap for doing what it took to win. Defense was legit and offensive line imposed on Clemson’s D.

 

[DripgodCane713]

Go canes !!! Had me goin crazy over here man !!

 

[gruntking]

Freshman in his first start. Wooooo!

Oh and we beat FSU

3 heroes -

Flagg, obviously, game clinching play
Bain, what a beast, will be a 1st round pick one day
Coordinators - if we had last year's coordinators, we get lit up 42-9.

Mario didn't take responsibility for that GT debacle as soon as I would have liked. But he did eventually. Mario had some bad coaches last year, but he fired two awful coordinators and brought in 2 great ones. He's showing that he can learn and adapt, and I can already see the new/improved culture taking hold.

All he has to do is recruit, let this staff do their thing, and get a laminated card that tells him what to do in situation & score and tuck it in his pants on gamedays. He's building a machine.
