Arkansas State Gameday - Week 3

Dan E. Dangerously · Sep 13, 2014

Miami welcomes Arkansas State today as each team looks to get above .500 for the season. Get hyped.

Something to look forward to today that I missed earlier this week is that there's a certain assistant coach for the Red Wolves roaming the sidelines. Turns out that one Trooper Taylor is now coaching corner backs for Arkansas State. Had I known this he definitely would have been named "person that will **** you off", what with all the annoying towel-waiving he does.

Don't forget the chest-bumps either.

But mostly it's for the stuff he did as an assistant for Tennessee, particularly the recruitment of Demetrice Morley back in '05. Turns out he had a dust up with Butch Jones last week. Apparently he was talking **** to Tennessee players whenever they came near the ASU sidelines. In sports it's a no-no for a coach to say ANYTHING during a game to the opposing team's players, and Jones made sure to get that point across after the game.

Whatever.

This isn't gonna happen, is it?

Last time they met: November 1, 1997

Grassy was the only place that was around back then. I tried to look up stuff for it on the Internet Archive, but I got nothing. And lol if you were expecting highlights. Oh well. Miami won the game 42-10, and there only 26k people at the Orange Bowl that day. There's also this:

...The Red Wolves, whose only game against UM was a 1997 loss when they were known as the Indians and quarterbacked by future Dolphin Cleo Lemon...

Interdasting.

Know your enemy: Underdog Dynasty

What they're saying:

Kyle Vos said:
...Like Louisville, ASU will need to efficiently complete passes and stay ahead of the chains on the ground. The latter became a bigger hurdle when it was announced that starting running back Michael Gordon would not be suiting up against Miami. ASU's rushing offense struggled without him against Montana State and was abysmal even with him against Tennessee, with much of its successful ground yardage coming byway of Fredi Knighten scrambles...

Sounds about right.

Miami Notes

1. Thurston Armbrister can football.
2. Braxton Berrios is impressing early on.
3. Donna Shalala announced she will be stepping down.

Arkansas State Notes

1. The Red Wolves are 0-2 all time against the ACC, and other nuggets.
2. It's important for Arkansas State to get the ball to McKissic.
3. ASU tried to honor some people who died and apparently that's a bad thing.

The horror...
