got a chance to re-watch the whole game after I got back from the fights and then watching Canelo-Kovalev after. While most of the focus is on Jarren Williams and GRo -- and rightfully so --- a few more guys I thought really played well.
- DJ Ivey: Yeah, we buried him for dead after Gatech, but I thought he was very solid yesterday in Tally. Matched up well with Terry, was put in man situations a lot and I didnt recall any passes being caught on him. He's starting to come on a bit
- Johnathan Garvin: now, maybe this has a lot to do with 15, but Garvin was consistently putting pressure on Hornibrook and getting in the backfield. I thought for most of the game the Dline was solid, and guys like Miller and Nesta flashed inside
- Zion Nelson: Yeah, seriously, he's not there yet, but I sense improvement from this youngster. On that deep ball to Wiggins, he was left on an island and stoned his guy. For the most part, the whole Oline unit played a solid game.
Again, great win, yeah, it's against a horrible FSU squad that will get its coach fired, but after losing 7 straight to them, I'll take a hat trick at anytime. And at this point, this program and Diaz need to build momentum after a terrible start, every win is meaningful -- especially the rivalry games.
Just one bone to pick with Diaz, who I thought managed the game very well at the end of the 1st half as Miami took full control, after the Bolden pick to begin the second half, we have 4th and 1.5, and they decide to go for it(which I agreed with based on that field position and how the D was playing), they go quick tempo(which I didn't mind) and they wanted to QB sneak it, but once the refs killed the tempo, in my view, with more than a yard to go, and without a QB like a Cam Newton or Tebow, who were bulldozers in situations like this, you have to get out of that play and re-group.
As they were stuffed, I left for Carson and I was grumbling the whole drive down there, thinking that would be the game changing momentum, right there, as FSU cut it to 17-10. Thankfully it wasn't. But that one sequence is the only gripe I had with the staff, who I thought had this team very well prepared.
Onto Louisville -- and Im taking nothing for granted, here
