Mario’s turtle ball

[LoungeLord]

He cannot finish.

Let’s shut down a high power offense and go into a shell, trying to win by the clock and not our ability, with 9 minutes left. Jesus H!

 

[GhostRecon_Cane]

Yeah, concerning to say the least.

 

[bigweez]

would help if the OL would have blocked in the running game tonight. not a good performance at all up front on the ground. definitely should have thrown on first down in the 4th. FSU was loading up the box

Mario doesn’t get it… you can still run your normal offense in a smart way with the lead and not go into a ridiculous shell with the entire fourth quarter to play.

28-3 is not 50-3.

Ask the Atlanta Falcons.

By now we have to face the fact this is who he is and he is not changing,we're going to be in wars late in the 4th in just about every game.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

This teams biggest weakness is their HC

 

[JBCanes-NC]

He limped it home. He’s no Jimmy Johnson, he takes the foot off the throat

Atlanta lost the football game running their regular offense instead of running clock.

Like... at least attempt it.

 

[kanecrazed]

He WILL cost us a game this year.

It’s not just the offensive conservatism. We’ve been extremely conservative on defense with a lead too. Soft zone coverage, almost prevent like.

When we got the ball 28-3 in the 4th Lofton’s penalty killed that drive. Once FSU went into kitchen sink mode did we expect Miami to keep throwing? Get a sack? Or a pick? It wasn’t perfect but that 4th quarter is not a repeatable thing for other teams.

 

[Gables Canes]

Time of possession was even, yet FSU ran 24 more plays. Not only is Neanderthal milk the clock ball hard to watch, it gives us less opportunities to make plays.

 

[OldhamA]

That's not a National Title winning team. Not with how we turtle up with a lead.

I mean UF and ND repeated this year, they made the game close despite getting dominated

 

[ADELPHI]

With the way the schedule sets up with no bye after Louisville, we will definitely drop a game we shouldn’t. Still trying to figure out why we didn’t attempt a FG to force fsu to have to score two TDs to beat us.

I’m saying you can’t take that 4th quarter performance and expect a team to do it for 60 minutes. If it’s easy to close out talented teams, why couldn’t Oregon do it last week? I’m not saying it was perfect. And there’s issues that have to be fixed. But it’s not a sky is falling situation.

It's just like us to sweep the state, beat some impressive ranked teams and then lose to ******* Stanford or some other ****** ACC team.

Florida won against Texas and UCLA beat up Penn State. I'm never complaining about a victory, that's a luxury problem I'll refuse to even entertain.

Exactly. It was junk ball and Miami still had them on the ropes on multiple occasions. Had Miami been disciplined late, odds are FSU puts up 1 TD, not two and the score looks more like what actually happened.

 

[AutoCANE]

If it happened once that would be one thing. But we’ve seen it now against ND, UF, and FSU. That **** will catch up with us if there isn’t some real soul searching. We are on the verge of being a truly great team - I mean, there are really great players on this team - but we have yet to truly put it all together.

Hopefully this is a bit of a wake up call.
