Ryan Clark: "Miami is the Most Traditionally SEC Team in the Country"

[DMoney]

Former LSU safety Ryan Clark joined ESPN after Miami's Fiesta Bowl win and compared them to the best of teams from his old conference. A transcript of the discussion is below.

Ryan Clark: “The Miami Hurricanes are the most traditionally SEC football team in all the country. It ain’t Florida. It ain’t LSU. It ain’t Auburn. It ain’t Alabama. It ain’t Georgia. This is the first time Ole Miss this season has faced a team that plays like we historically believe SEC teams play.”

**** em if they weren't with us when we were down. Lets make a statement on the 19th. I never met an Indiana fan in my life til this week. Time to shut these mother ****ers up. Tired of hearing about Cig, tired of it all. Punch them in the mouth like they haven't been punched all year.

 

[drewm3i]

Kinda hilarious but won't argue!

 

[TheUBack]

Why they have to gargle SEC balls and sack while praising the U

 

[caneingville]

Wrong.

When the SEC was on top, they were like Miami.

 

[Colombie]

***** the SEC.


This Miami team is the most Miami team we have seen in decades.

We created the standard for physicality and speed at the right positions.

We dominated.

So sick of the SEC slurpers in the media. Even former SEC players who should be repping their program not their conference, though I can squint hard enough to forgive them for it.

I have a feeling we blow Indiana off our field, but ill be knocking on wood and keeping this on the down low in case my pessimistic self comes back

The thing I haven’t seen discussed yet is how does Indiana respond when Miami keeps coming? This team has shown zero quit and continues to fight. Can IU keep taking body blows and stand up!

If we ball control and are deliberate as we've been marching down the field, that smaller Dline will have a hard time come 3 and 4th quarters. We need to protect the ball though. No freebies.

 

[Rellyrell]

Don’t even know what that means.

 

[SinisterCane]

Nobody want to be like the conference that hasn’t made it to The finals 3 years in a row

 

[Santana Sosa]

lol weren't they just saying Clemson most resembled an SEC team and they would get a SEC invite?

 

[1983cane]

Wrong.

When the SEC was on top, they were like Miami.

This.

 

[cway313]

Gross.

 

[Hold My Beer]

LSU and Auburn alums give it up for the Canes

RC and Cam are right, though.

The SEC isn't as rugged as in its glory days -- got more OC's turned Head Coaches who prioritize offense above all else: DeBoer, Sark, Kiffin, Heuepel and Freeze to name a few

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Oh sure, the SEC invented having stout lines of scrimmage. Nobody’s done it before or since.

 

[Hold My Beer]

Nobody want to be like the conference that hasn’t made it to
The finals 3 years in a row

Canes join the SEC: Problem solved

 

[CaneFanWNY]

I heard “that looks like a Miami player” before I ever heard “that looks like an SEC player”

But I suppose you (ESPN) gotta deepthroat the propaganda machine ad nauseam when you pay its entity billions of dollars in media rights. SEC is the only conference that tries to claim any context of credit for titles they don’t appear in/win lol

 

[rvalenza]

So, he's right about how we play but he compliments the us by comparing us... to the SEC!
