That was Miami style defense.

Lots of FBS teams played FCS teams for their first game of the season, yet in spite of yet, nobody allowed fewer passing yards than Miami this week.

I know you can't put to much emphasis on how they played BC, but with the combination of an excelling DL, a disciplined secondary and some nice open field tackling, I think we could have a potentially good defense on our hands.

Also something to keep in mind...

Defensive rank (yards per game)

2012: 120th (486 yds)
2013: 90th (426 yds)
2014: 14th (328 yds)

And now through only the first game I know, we're ranked 3rd. So while I wouldn't advise getting hyped up just yet, I would say to watch the games against FAU and Nebraska very intently.

Syracuse and Boston College are the 2 best defenses in football. We're third. I think it'll be a 3 way battle all season between the 3 of us for best defense in football.

Until it is, when he defends his butt buddy and their putrid scheme
 
so nobody seen the dtackle drop back in coverage? lol...

If you are referring to the play that Hertelou made, it was a screen play.. Hert recognized that once his lineman disengaged and went after the play. Smart play by him.
 
Wuddayasay?! :Angry:


1-gap aggression.
Press coverage.
Gettin' after it.


I know it's only Bethune but when's the last time we held an opponent under 100 yards of total offense? That was complete domination.
Point made. I up voted because of the dog face.

Stop wasting your time with that racist Seinfeld clown .. her schtick is old as ****, She did the same thing on rivals and scout. Three different sites and the same corny over the top sarcastic rebuttals.

Guy goes on about the board's whiteness indicting their motives and arguments in another thread out of nowhere. Accuses others of racism. Seems legit.

His racist schtick the past week or so is quite weird.

Can't believe that dude called me weird and insecure. Lmao

Never heard that in my life.

*******? Sure
****y? At times
But weird and insecure? LOL

The irony of you needing to address this is not lost on the intelligent board members lmfao

Intelligent board members?

wtf-face.webp
 
Reminds me of the stretch last year where everyone kept saying "Golden let the dogs loose!" and "the old Miami is back!"

Same group of Goldenettes porsting in this thread.
Colossally stupid bunch of f@qgits. Never ceases to amaze me how desperate these suckers are to grasp onto anything. Now they're acting you can actually glean anything at all from playing one of the worst football teams I've ever seen.
No, that would be Savanna
 
2011 Miami vs Bethune : gave up 463 total yards
2012 Miami vs Bethune : gave up 355 total yards
2015 Miami vs Bethune : gave up 79 total yards


Our D did seem much more aggressive, and I Don't think Bethune has gotten better or worse....

but.....we've had 4 years in a row now of our coaches ****ting the bed in every meaningful game...

So until I see us beat real teams consistently, I ain't getting giddy about ****

Bethune will probably be fine in the MEAC this year. Plenty of FBS castoffs to win games. They came in thinking they could grind clock and we'd be passive on defense. Why wouldn't they? It is what we do. The fact that we decided to actually contest everything as opposed to being fine with them picking up 3-4 yards a play might have surprised them.

We had a guy on here who said he knew a Bethune player that was looking forward to the game because of our lack aggression and 2-gap style. At least we didn't let them dictate tempo by giving away yards. They did drain the play clock but nothing can be done about that.

How many games this week also took 10 minutes off the clock?

That last 10 minutes is when a div 2 team usually puts a drive together against 2-3rd stringers. An extra 80-100 yards could easily have been added.

We potentially had a good defense when we held FAMU to 100 yards last year too. How'd that play out when we faced anyone with a pulse?

This turnip's been trying for months to get attention by being the salty, angry, attacking troll, but no one's paying any attention. It's a sad schtick, but I'll give him credit for sticking with it so long.

He's trying to ramp up his troll game by going to the racial angle, but no one's even paying attention to this latest sad stab at attention seeking. I've never seen a dude try so hard for so long to get attention or get noticed on a message board and fail.

I agree with this, it was good to see the aggression, but it wont mean sh¡t until we do it against a good team
 
2012: 120th (486 yds) Record 7-5
2013: 90th (426 yds) Record 9-4
2014: 14th (328 yds) Record 6-7

I guess Al paid more attention to his defense's stats than he dod to winning. I does appear he cares more about proving his defense is right than actually winning games. We are being sacrificed on the altar of his pride.
