My brother looks stoned out of his mind. I am entertained so far.

Synopsis: Plenty of blame to go around, but there are now dawgs on the team.

I don't get why everyone is so baffled that Duke beat Miami, that Elko is getting through to those kids year one or playing this mental-midget math that Miami won 47-10 last year and should've just done the same this year.

This Canes roster is full of kids that just ran the show under Diaz, didn't respond to authority and had a "players' coach" who wouldn't hold them accountable, which left Miami underachieving and believing it could just roll in and win games against MTSU, Duke, etc. by simply showing up with the more-talented roster.

Duke finally parted ways with David Cutcliffe, who built a solid little program over that 14-year span—Miami with four different head coaches over that same period of time.
The Blue Devils became a program of overachievers and high football IQ kids who won some football games by outworking lazier, talented teams.

These kids are responding to Elko and change and are benefitting from a feisty Riley Leonard under center this year, which they didn't have last year when the Canes rolled them (Leonard was a back-up in for two plays.)

Miami also had Van Dyke peaking last year and thriving as Rambo and Harley played out of their minds; and this year he's without both, as well as the injured Restrepo—and when you throw in and entitled mindset of not feeling they needed to be up for a basketball school (despite Duke beating Miami back-to-back in 2018-19)—that's how football games are given away and taken from you.

This is a bad football team with a handful of talented individuals players, which does not make a team. Mario needs guys that buy-in; kids like Cormani McClain, who sign-on with Miami days after an embarrassing loss to Duke—as he sees a bigger picture.

The Canes need to hit the portal hard this off-season, like Michigan State in 2021. Push out any kids who don't want to be part of this rebuild and bring in kids that do. Period.

He's right about our QBs looking at just 1 wr all game.Saw it with Restrepo,then Ladson and now Young.Not even the great Andre Johnson had this many teargets and he also played with inferior wr team mates.

Rex Ryan had a good quote this morning on the pre-game show for the London game. To paraphrase..."all quarterbacks - minus Drew Brees (surely, this is hyperbole, but he's making a larger point) - are one read quarterbacks. After the first read, its up to the quarterback to create."

I thought, while he didn't get into the nuance of his take...its interesting when you start to scaffold and tier quarterback play. Not many quarterbacks are hitting more than their primary or hi/lo reads in structure. As you get to the NFL level, the defenses are too good for full field reads. In the college game, obviously scaffold down, but you start to struggle as a quarterback if you can't process fast enough or freelance after things breakdown. Today's game really takes a level of spatial awareness, timing, a little game theory to give your team a chance especially when no one (or your first read) is open.
