with the FSU win it looks like a prime time game. I think this is great, let the nation see one of the great atmosphere's and home field advantages in all of college football
I believe(like most of you) Miami is the better, more sound squad and at home, they should win this game - bottom line.
But there is one thing that concerns me - Brian Burns off the edge vs our OT's is a match-up they win. Take care of that, and I believe Miami will be OK. It will be interesting to see how our staff handles this. But based on today, guys like Jeff Thomas and Mike Harley should have a lot of opportunities down the seam. Jawan 'Errant' Pass was Rosier-esque today in his inaccuracy
Also Francois is a tough SOB, I cant lie, I respect the guy. He's tougher than a combat boot. He'll hit some plays but the match-up of Miami's front four vs FSU's Oline should be one very much in UM's favor
This is the type of game Richt was brought into win and this is literally FSU's worst team in decades. They still have some athletes but they just seem very unsound in a lot of ways
Finally, I dont understand what Petrino/Pass were doing at the end. You have 1st down deep in FSU territory with the lead. All you are trying to do at that point is run clock and force FSU to burn TO's. Honestly, the option of even changing a run call to a throw shouldn't even be on the table. Like Oregon last week, taking a knee or just QB sneaking it was the more intelligent play. Because at that point, time is more important than yards or points. This is Petrino's worst decision since that one motorcycle ride. At that point he has to say,'just run it' or 'take a knee'. Honestly, this was among the worst coached games Ive seen in a long time
