Hey guys... I haven't ever posted on here, but I wanted to say something. (NOT A TROLL)

I think a lot of your fan base is in the dumps for how the game went. And yes I can see how it may be difficult to see the forest through the trees. But I came away very impressed with several players and aspects from this Hurricanes team:
First and Foremost. Gerald Willis is grown *** man. That dude lived in our backfield and I dont know if that is a combination of poor O-line play and skill or just being flat out dominant. Either way, that guy looked like the best player on the field at times.
Secondly… Y’all secondary is legit. People bring up the stat line for Joe Burrow (11 of 24). I counted like 6 PBUs 4 of which were from DBs. Plus there were roughly 5 throw aways which means your D-Line got pressure and coverage was too tight to risk a throw and have that chain come out the box. You definitely have something there defensively.
Your wide receivers are legit too. Even if 82 got pulled from the game. Y’all still had some guys make some tough catches. And let me say this… You wont face a better secondary all season.
Lastly… And most importantly… Malik Rosier is much better than he is getting credit for. Yes he made some head scratching throws that were very off the mark, but those 2 deep balls in the 4th were absolute DIMES. Couldn’t place them any better. And that wasn’t against scrubs. We are talking one of the starting Safeties in Grant Delpit and the starting Nickle Kary Vincent Jr. Also, he extended a lot of plays with his legs. He ran hard and was very elusive in the pocket. A less athletic QB is sacked 6 more times in that game. As for the two picks… While he did stare down the crossing route on that pick 6, the ball was tipped at the line. Dems the breaks sometimes. And on the second pick, he was tackled as he was releasing the ball and it kinda floated on him. Two very good defensive plays attributed to those turnovers.
While the game was not in doubt after the first Quarter, just know that you will see that LSU is a much better team than it was given credit for. I mean if we had Cole Tracy kicking last year we will 11 games instead of 9. I have no doubt in my mind about that. So while it sucks to have a game go the way it did, take solace in the fact that it is the 1st game and yall can still wreck **** in the ACC.
Good Luck and Geaux Tigers.

Yeah, how about OUR punter? He was so good we're thinking about going for it for it on fourth down no matter where we are on the field.

Thanks for posting this I feel so much better about Rosier.

What the **** is a “respected tiger fan?”
 
Don’t care. When they go 7-5 you won’t feel any better either
 
thanks ... but no amount of sunshine can be pumped for Malik... it has been Goundhogs Day with him for the last 5 games

I appreciate the the pep talk, I feel much better!!. However, you failed to mention: our punter!, the pressure and blitzes your DL placed on my overwhelmed OL, specially my RT and LG. My QB placing our WR in physical harm by over/under throwing and just flat out throwing to the wrong stops. My replacement DB (Dean) being overmatched and many second and third team defensive players playing as a unit as early as the 1st quarter. But YES, you are right the sun was supposed to come out, expect that it rained all day here on Monday and Tuesday. But finally today Wednesday I did see the sun and felt better. Thanks! Geaux Canes!
 
Wow this guy is just trying to show some love hes not one of the idiots. Ive been on their board all summer and their are some real idiots.Some of you guys are real idiots show some class.
 
We don’t need enemy fans trying to make us feel better. We are Canes and live or die on winning and nothing less. You beat our asses. Keep you shoft shoulders for your children. Your opinions mean nothing to us because we are the sole determiners of our fates. You have nothing to do with it. Our coaches sucked worse than yours and all players failed to make up the difference.

When we get enough true cane type playing and coaching, we will be back and put your tured SEC back in its coffins like we did to all the conferences before. We will have no kinds words for you, trust me. So save a tape of this game to consol yourself because you will be a long time recovering — I think it was about 20 years for you last time.

Wow whats wrong with you people you dont own anything. I dont think some of you understand what real Hurricanes are what a laugh. You could realistically see 4 more losses so you all might as well leave now. Live and die somewhere else.

Think he had an urge to console us? He wants to convince himself Miami's legit to make himself feel better about his win.
