... three straight garbage games where the offense played like garbage and didn't help the cause.
Nor did the defense choking away opportunities. Bandy's whiff at Pitt, guys not able to jump on the ball early against the Panthers—and doing it again twice last night. Defense in position to make plays and then guys not making the play; yet everyone is going to rail on the coach and call.
How far was Miami's offense really going to go down the stretch (without a bye since September) with Malik Rosier, Travis Homer, a spotty offensive line, using Deejay Dallas in gimmicky fashion, relying on underclassmen receivers—and going at Clemson without Herndon or Richards.
This Miami team was lucky to get to 10-2 and win the Coastal this year. Headed to the Orange Bowl and a year ahead of schedule; year two under Richt 2.0. Anyone complaining has a short memory regarding where this program was over the past dozen years.
