I’m not ready to bail on Baxa yet. Too early. I would bring in legitimate competition next season.

And please, a punter.

That recently hired team psychologist has an appoitment at 8am Monday available Mr. Bubba Baxa. I have taken the liberty of booking you for a 2 hour session with a follow up on Tuesday! Hope is ok!
 
What a comeback! Says a lot about the heart of this team!!!

I will say this, this is the 3rd game this year that a worthless player (FSU punter today) uses the face mask to bring one of our best players down and almost injures them. Don’t understand why NCAA makes that stupid targeting penalty such a priority and allows this **** to go on without the same punishment being handed down! My rant over,

GO CANES!!,
 
What a second half. That defense picking up where they left off last year. Still plenty of issues but they delivered.
 
Whoever wins the rushing totals almost always wins these rivalry games. Richt knows that and that is why he kept pounding the rock especially with how ineffective Perry was in the first half. Yet, he did trust him on three fourth down plays to throw the ball. I doubt he would have showed the same trust in Malik. Fans can complain about everything but it takes smart coaches to win these types of games.
 
If we had a sound special teams unit. This game isn’t even close.

Richt needs to realize this and make a change.

Perry took some huge hits, played one of the fastest defenses and DLs that he will see until the ACC ship and kept his composure to throw 4 TDs, with a few big drops (Cager come on!). I like the growth today for our FRESHMAN starting QB on top of the victory!

Can’t watch UM v FSU games all the way through anymore. I’m 70+ with an inherited certainty of strokes. Just have to wait and watch the end, but that is all.

Hey granny. I'm old too. But hang with the game till the end. You can do it too.
 
Special teams have been the cause of a loss and the result of this game almost being one.
Hartley better consult a special teams advisor or the team better reevaluate what’s going on on that side of the ball.

* Rushing attempts are vital, as others have mentioned. I never gave up partially because I kept looking at that category on the rim of the stadium where the key stats are listed

* Massive deserved ovation for Ed Reed, who seemed a bit surprised at how deafening and sustained it was

* There was nothing to justify a 14 point spread. There isn't a class edge. There isn't a talent edge. If the line would have stood out as bizarre in August then it probably is bizarre. Everything tends to drift back to the beginning. There's only current form to suggest 14 and that is the most meaningless variable of all. If there is one variable to ignore as a sports bettor, it is current form. That's the reason the sportsbook managers I worked for said their absolute dream was for every sports bettor to watch every game every weekend, since it would lead to nothing but opinions and based on nothing but current form

* As I mentioned last week, I think the matchup with North Carolina was the worst possible lead in for the Canes. That team is hopelessly soft for a conference opponent, to the point anything works against them offensively, and you can physically savage their offensive line. It was very natural for the Canes today to be overconfident after a cupcake matchup like that, and take a long time to wake up and adjust.

* I absolutely could not believe Florida State did not intentionally allow us to score on that final drive, while Miami led by 1. They had multiple chances to figure it out and somehow never did...always making the tackle like mathematically-challenged morons. I'm not convinced the Canes coaching staff understood the situation either, and had instructed the backs not to score. Maybe this was covered in the post game but my hike back to the car was so long I missed the radio interviews

* That had to be some type of record for the Canes in a non-overtime, non-weather delayed game. I believe it was in the neighborhood of 4 hours 10 minutes
 
I’ve basically resigned myself to the fact that we are going to need a completely dominant OL to field a consistent offense against teams with similar athleticism and size. Richt doesn’t have that but he’s always going to call plays like he does. That’s just how he does things.

I usually think Richt takes too much heat for his play calling, but today was just terrible with respect to play calling.

This is revenge for all the outmatched Miami teams that played FSU close but choked in the end. If we had simply crushed FSU, their fans would have become numb and compartmentalized their pain, but if you give them a 3 score lead, if you give them hope, let them open up their hearts, then you you can inflict meaningful and lasting pain that no gucci backpack can heal.

I also thought bout how Folden's teams blew decent leads in the 2nd half. Rosier last year and Perry this year did what Kaaya never could do - beat FSU. Perry got better in clutch time, Kaaya choked.
