in what was another rather dreary and desultory contest at Pitt, Miami looked like they were going to lose another game. It didn't look good late, then late in the 4th, Jarren gets the call out of the bullpen, rescues the Canes -- and maybe salvages this season.
Then a week later, he and the Oline put on a steady performance and hit some big plays and the Canes complete the hat trick in Tally
Yesterday, they blow out L'ville. And yeah, I know it's a bad defense, but just about a month ago, they had issues putting up 21 points vs bad teams -- at home. To me, this is progress, being able to move the ball and score points against over-matched teams.
But I feel like that line in 'the Godfather' -- every time I think Im out, they pull me back in!!
Yesterday is what Miami football should be, fun, exciting, entertaining. It was good to see. This is what it can be.
From the Gatech game, it's great to see guys like Wiggins and Ivey step up, young Jarren re-affirm his status as our QB (cue Terrell Owens meme), Oline beginning to show signs, GRo blossom. Im actually very excited again to see the games now, it wont be a chore(and yeah, it was becoming that for me, I can't lie). Before anyone crowns Manny Diaz and this staff, lets see how the rest of this season plays out. Truth of the matter is that even if they win out, which would be great as it relates to recruiting and creating momentum, unfortunately this season to me will be defined by the home losses to Vatech and Gatech, which were inexcusable.
Regardless, good to see this recent upswing. The Young Jedi, Jarren, gives me hope.
