can you believe it?!?!

do you believe in miracles?....Yes!!!(all due respect to Al Michaels)

But this kid Rosier, showed me something. When we basically had no choice but to let it rip, well the offense opened up. And like Kirby in 2007, he lead an improbable late game-winning drive. And it wasn't Berrios(who was a stud, and more on him later) or Herndon( who did his Coleman Bell in 1991 at Doak impersonation) but Darrell F'n Langham!!!

holy shhhhhh!!!

Ok, lots to critique, but not tonight, we can worry about that later. Lets drink, get hammered and celebrate like barbarians. This is the type of victory that can change the course of a program and rivalry( like the 2000 win vs FSU). We got over the hump. It wasn't perfect( and Diaz is killing me with his blitzes that Jimbo figures out eventually and yeah, honestly, were about a year away in terms of getting better at OLine and safety) but sometimes you just hafta get outta there with a W.

They did.

A few things:

- Homer again provided the late punch with his speed and explosiveness. Again, if Walton is hobbled, work him in more. Like Craig Cooper in the 07 at Doak he made some late key runs as he used his quickness to get upfield and the change of pace he provided was pivotal. The Homer Run hitter is a player.

- Was Langham in the game because Richards was injured? I mean, imagine that with how everything worked out.

- OK, any more Berrios slander on this board should result in getting banned. 'Honey Nut' can flat out ball and after a rough start made every play that was needed. I think Im happier for him more than anyone having gone through three tough FSU losses and the stuff that is said about him. Berrios can flat out ball.

- Defensively, tackling has to be better, bottom line. but they kept us in the game for 3 quarters before melting down a bit in the 4th. I let the X-and-O guru's get more into that. But what's really disappointing is the lack of discipline in facing the run game, just bad integrity in filling gaps is giving up a lot of big plays.

- Now, onto Gatech, which I believe will be a very tough game based on this emotional nature of this game and how good I think they are with Tyquan Marshall running things for Paul Johnson's offense.

But fellas, don't it feel good?

Malik completion % was terrrrrible but some how made the plays when it mattered and threw 3 TDs. I just hope with this game under Malik's belt he becomes better because this was the one game he didn't have the talent advantag on his side.

Also, PLEASE PLAY LANGHAM MORE OVER CAGER. Cagers has been put into my jag list and Langham somehow broke out of Jag jail.
 
So much good stuff in this post, so much to comment on, but tonight I am just enjoying the W. We earned this one, boys. Salute.
 
Couldn't have said it better...big heart win despite glaring deficiencies...huge psychologically
 
I didn’t think Berrios had a rough start, I saw someone who was playing hard. Even the push-off told me that he was playing to win. Cager...well...way to go Langham!

If ESPN still does instant classics, the 4th quarter alone will qualify this game as an instant classic.

Chosen, Cager has to fight through stuff and compete. Today he was soft. It was bad. Lets hope he can grow from this.

Best night of the year...F**K XMAS
 
This feels really good. I'll worry about injuries and where we need to improve later. I don't care right now.

Rosier is like 1000x the QB freeman is obviously though.

I think that goes without saying. Rosier IMO will never been the model of consistency but if you allow him to throw on early downs and get into a rythem can be a very effective passer. And he's not getting much help in the run game from the big guys upfront...
