Make it worse….DO NOT LET UP
It isn’t. We dominated them but took a Mario nap in the 4th quarter. And I don’t blame our players really. Mario told the players it was nap time. Run 3 plays on offense and punt until the games over. I don’t even know if we threw a pass after being up 28-3 in the 4th,This year’s FSU score is so weird to see. Doesn’t look right lol.
Part of me doesn’t blame Mario or Dawson for getting a little conservative at the end of games when we’re up by 2 scores. Look, I don’t want to take away anything from Beck. He had a fine season and made some excellent plays that helped lead us to a Natty. But in those “play from behind” type situations? He either throws a pick or throws 2 passes that should have been picked until he eventually throws a pick. Murder murder murder wasn’t so much his style. I’m not blaming him for the Natty loss because in my opinion we were very fortunate to even get another shot to take the lead, but that pick on the last drive was a bad one. Double coverage. Poorly thrown. And totally not necessary considering we had plenty of time to get in the endzone with 51 seconds left and 41 yards away. We could have gotten closer and maybe get into a situation like we did against Ole Miss where Beck had an option to take it in himself. Although that was probably unlikely.I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’d start this offseason like if we’re down 2 touchdowns to each in-state rival.
Murder, murder, murder…
This would be greatNever. We have a good five years of being the uncontested lord of Florida college football. Hopefully UF and FSU ***** up their next hires, too, and continue to struggle with the economics. I think we’ll be well into the 2030s before they are relevant again.
...the gap was this big between Miami and its in-state rivals?
Nah. Things can change quick in cfb nowadays. We gotta operate like they’re always on our heels.Never. We have a good five years of being the uncontested lord of Florida college football.

I meant it as a figure of speech in hopes of burying the other programs by leaning into the current perceived lead we have on them.Part of me doesn’t blame Mario or Dawson for getting a little conservative at the end of games when we’re up by 2 scores.

Now next year with Mensah…I think he could be that murderer we seek
