No coach can make a player a leader. The player evolves into one, or doesn't. A screaming 'rah rah' type isn't necessary. Those types are often fake, like screaming coaches. Leadership status is earned.
I don't know that Miami has that on offense. Kaaya probably doesn't have that status. I will say playing through some rough tough hits in the FSU should mean something to his
Leadership is evolving on defense. Shaq and Pinckney have that vibe. Elder as well. The DL is a wild bunch. I don't know if one player runs the pack or not.

Didn't someone say the other day that the FSU game was the first time Kaaya was voted as a team captain? If so, it makes me question his natural leadership abilities that it took him being a third year starter at QB to finally get the votes needed
Glad someone else finally said this. That entire sequence was rushed.I just wish a player would be paranoid enough to calm everyone down during the TD celebration and subsequent extra point rush.
Anyway, on to tomorrow.

Well, his first year as a starter he was a true freshman. I doubt any team has a true freshman as a team captain. And FWIW, Kaaya was listed as team captain last year on Wikipedia. Kaaya, Dallas Crawford, and Raphael Kirby. Sources need to be verified either way.

I thought they taught you kids Google 1010 at college these days. Am I wrong?

Kaaya was voted Most Valuable Player at the end of last year. He was also team captain. Game captains are rotated, so perhaps the FSU game was the first game of this season he was a game captain.
This might be the 'odd fact' confusing some posters.

Any insight on who chooses game captain's at this point?

Not sure who picks the game captains.
Game captains for the first five games were:
Week 1: Jamal Carter, Danny Isidora, Brad Kaaya and Justin Vogel
Week 2: Braxton Berrios, Corn Elder, Nick Linder, and Rayshawn Jenkins
Week 3: Braxton Berrios, Shaquille Quarterman, Sheldrik Redwine, and Marquez Williams
Week 4: Michael Badgley, Danny Isadora, Kendrick Norton, and Chad Thomas
Week 5: Michael Badgley, Jamal Carter, Corn Elder and Brad Kaaya
FSU wasn't Kaaya's first this season either.
Regardless, I like to see Kaaya lead with a little more fire on the field.
I know that we're trying to move on to UNC, but I still feel like what I'm about to say is relevant to the rest of the season.
When I watched that game against FSU as the game was moving into the 4th quarter, I was thinking to myself, "where are the leaders on the sideline"? I didn't see that "fire" from any one of those guys. I would've like to have seen Kaaya talking to his OLine like "Cmon guys, give me time in that pocket and I'll win this thing, we can't lose this one, not tonight". When the game is on the line, I want to see that one "alpha" who the team respects and will go to war for stand up and say "we not losing today" like Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. Where is that player? You gotta have those guys on the sideline and in the locker room when it's crunch time.
