Its sad that id switch coaches with fau.

A win isn't a win. Get in a dog fight with a horrific team like FAU where you need a 5-0 turnover margin, injuries to their 2 best players, and multiple penalties to win, and that's not a win no matter what the final score is.

I agree with the general sentiment of this post, however their starting QB getting hurt was probably the best thing to happen to FAU. Driskell gave them a nice spark and the team seemed to rally around him. Miami clearly hadn't prepared to face that style of QB and it showed. Granted, our defense has always had a habit of making backup QB's look great, but I was very impressed with him.

The guy had never played before he stepped in against us. And we made him look like Joe Montana despite the fact that he was surrounded by a bunch of 2 star guys that UM never even thought about recruiting.

Losing your senior leader QB and replacing him with a freshman who has never played is never a good thing.

In theory this is true, but sometimes things that have the outward appearance of being bad end up working out in your favor. Nobody thought Drew Bledsoe getting hurt could possibly be a good thing either. I know, extreme example, but I really do think Driskell sparked FAU. Nevertheless, it was an embarrassing performance by the defense for much of the night.

Amen to all of this!!! Next 4 games are make or break time for Al and his crew.

Four plus years of breaking. It's over.

It's ******* mind numbing and infuriating seeing the same mistakes on defense in year 5 as we saw in year 1. Talent isn't the problem, it's scheme and coaching.

A win is a win so that's always nice but when it comes down to it Golden and his staff got out coached again.

Let me put it this way, if FAUs coaches had Miami's roster this game wouldn't have been close. Golden would've got the **** beat outta him. Heck if you Gave FAU Kaaya and Yearby canes probably lose. It's just down right sad, these players are winning in spite of the coaching not because of it. Even if Golden wins 9 games this season he needs to go. Golden doesn't put these players in position to succeed, and until he proves me wrong I don't think Golden can beat FSU or win a national championship. The 2 most important things to do as a HC at Miami.

If FAU doesn't lose their starting QB and RB last night they probably win the game.We won last night yet today I feel like I usually feel after a loss.

Their starting running back was greg Howell and he played the whole game

Howell didn't play whole game, Carter knocked him out in the 2nd. And the fact that Howell had over 100 yards before he got injured just shows you where our D is at...

The starting RB Howell played the whole game. It was the backup RB Warren that had 100 yards before he was injured in the first half.
