Bellamy earned a save in both of Miami's wins over Virginia Tech over the weekend, increasing his league-leading save total to 12. Bellamy turned in three scoreless outings last week, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out eight in five innings of work. He earned his seventh and eighth multi-inning saves of the season with 1 1/3 innings of work on Friday before tossing 2 1/3 innings in Sunday's series finale. His 2 1/3 innings on Sunday also marked the seventh time this season that he went at least two innings. Bellamy held his opponents to a .125 batting average on the week. On the season, he is 3-1 with a 1.34 ERA with 12 saves. He has 52 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings and opponents hit just .172 against him. |

Posted by: reggaebob | April 28, 2009 at 10:34 PM
At a meeting tonight and couldn't follow the "game." Apparently it was a good night to not listen to the action.
BTW, Cal, Chi, Truth, etc., I completely agree with the issues of that offense. I know it was Chud calling plays, but Coker was the coach, and both are ultimately responsible. They weren't innovative calls in any way, just picking a routine game plan regardless of what the opponent was giving you and then not budging. It made the UM's superior talent not have nearly as much of an advantage as it should have, even though they still had darn good records for those 2 years and won one championship. No way OSU should have stayed within 2 TDs of that UM team though.
Posted by: JCane | April 28, 2009 at 10:37 PM
No doubt JCane,
OSU had no business being in that game for so long in the first place...
Posted by: hurriphin | April 28, 2009 at 10:44 PM
I know we're proud of the fact that we don't run a spread offense, but does anyone else wonder, even if just for one game, what we'd look like if we ran a wide open offense like that? I say this because I know for a fact that a 30ppg. average is enough to sweep the entire ACC.
I couldn't imagine all those orange jerseys running up and down the feild for 60 minutes.
Posted by: hurriphin | April 28, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Pro-style doesn't mean there can't be a lot of innovative play-calling. Every style of O will have plays that will work depending on assessing other teams' weaknesses or what they're giving you and your strengths. Simply running the same base plays repeatedly only partially worked when we were overloaded with talent. We have no such surplus now, although the cream is starting to rise. With the right playcalling and occasionally trickiness, who needs the gimmicky offense?
Posted by: JCane | April 28, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Drew Z, great illustration of the Coker Effect.
JCane, I take the word pro-style to mean attacking the opponent with all your weapons in a style that relies on precision as much as talent. That's the way the NFL teams do it because they HAVE to do it that way. Any amount of predictability will spell swift defeat because the defenses are so smart and fast.
I still say being HC of an NFL team is the most difficult non-war leadership position in the country. All the pressure, everything is displayed and picked apart every week and only one or two people are said to be truly successful.

Posted by: Loco | April 29, 2009 at 08:44 AM
Well I am happy to report that global warming has not overtaken my hometown as it is 47 right now and not 70 like it was the other day. Maybe I'm getting old but I can't remember it ever being 70 at night at any point in my life growing up. The other day it was downright hot at about 80.
Anyway, maybe I just remember things different. It just seems a little early for the mercury to rise so high.
Jcane I am not arguing when I say all of what you wrote it fine and well...you too Calvin. But where I come from and at every level of football I've been associated with when you have an 1800 yard back like Miami did you run the damn ball.
More importantly, if you've run the ball that successfully all year it's no longer a surprise for the defense what plays you will run. Running the football is about dominating your guy and winning the point of attack.
I know you understand that. That's football theory 101.
So what's my point?
OSU's DL BUTT RAPED Miamis OL that night. Dominated them. Destroyed them. Made them their bi/ches.
It wasn't a 9 men in the box defence or even 8...the DL for OSU simply handed Miamis OL their asses in the first half. Then, they started bringing other guys to switch it up bit as the game went on.
It was both a great physical performance by the DL and a great coaching performance by the DC.
Couple that with the refs letting the DBs from each time hold and interfere and disrupt every receiver and it made for an extremely physical game.
Miamis D was up for it. The OL...not so much.
The rest is just excuses. At that point in the season you are who you and you win with what you do.
Yes, Miami got robbed on a rediculous call.
Yes, the offense could have been run through Roscoe and #81 all night.
But, yes Dorsey was harrassed and the OL manhandled by an extremely talented and physical front 7 that dominated that game.
All that and Miami still should have won.
The playcalling was OK. Nothing awful, nothing blazingly innovative. Just like the whole season when the O was butt raping other opponents.
I'm all for pinning that loss on Porter. I'm all for saying Chud could have called some better plays but please take off the orange and green glasses and place the heartiest of blame where it truly belongs:
The OL in that game was trashed ALL NIGHT. It was an awful showing and a pathetic display. Period.
I give full credit to Will Smith and Co because they ate miamis players alive. It was impressive.
Now of course, none of this matters and at this point who cares?
Posted by: The Truth | April 29, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Exactly Truth our OL got handled that night, which has sadly become a trend with our lines lately. New players, new OL coach, same results.
I still cant sit down and watch that game, I get too pissed off.
Posted by: rebirth | April 29, 2009 at 10:16 AM
Rebirth
True..,but these new players have the proper mentality that the last coach forgot to instill.
Unfortunately those results won't come soon enough because OL need time to develop. But at least the light is at the end of the tunnel.
This years OL is a work in progress. I'm hoping it gets better. I know the mindset is right but the development may not be there just yet. The good news there's more coaching in front of them and time to get better before September
Posted by: The Truth | April 29, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Agreed, Truth. It doesn't matter any more and it's kinda irrelevant except it buys more interesting football discussion while there isn't much going on!
I also agree with you about the great d plan called by OSU and the great job their front 7 did. I just think there was a certain amount of arrogance by UM to not see these issues and make a few appropriate adjustments in what was being run so the d of OSU would have to rethink some of what they were doing. As for bad calls, it's part of the game sometimes. Remember that amazing win vs. UCLA when UM was coming back from the dead and the Edge was @300 yards? There was one terrible call that went our way that allowed the win. Things even out, but it's a bit harder at the end of a game deciding the championship. Fortunately the sun comes up daily regardless of the outcome of any game, even though I know this type of thinking could get me banished from here! :)
Posted by: JCane | April 29, 2009 at 10:25 AM
Two problems with those adjustments cuz I think they tried:
1. Turnovers...think: #1 fumbled ball after long post. Great call. There where a couple of others.
2. Again: OL performance. When your QB who can't run is running for his life and getting cracked almost everytime he steps back to throw you're in trouble.
Posted by: The Truth | April 29, 2009 at 10:45 AM
That was the whole problem all year, irregardless that mcgahee had 1800 yards, at some point you can't just keep ramming it up in their, just like in the passing game, if you an oc other than nix or "thee incompetent one" and you see that the db's are sitting on the short routes, what's the next common sense thing to do, call the out and ups and give the db's something else to think about. So the same is with the running game, in the beginning, osu had the box stacked up because they wanted to take away the run early, but as you saw, when they did that and doss got caught 1 on 1 with roscoe, what happened, 6 points.
Also in that 1st quarter, they wanted to see if gamble could cover andre johnson 1 on 1, that wasn't going to happen, johnson caught shat early so osu adjusted quickly, the problem was, when we went up 7 to 3, we went back to that conservative shat, instead up exploiting our advantages, "thee incompetent one" was happy like he's always been being up by 4 points and putting all the pressure on the defense.
The problem is, osu's punter kept flippin the field position especially with us going 3 and out all game. Now while osu had the d-line advantage over most of our o-line, their are always plays you can call to negate that, and call those plays at the right time, to many draw plays. Anyway, those days are over, our road to DOMINATION is inevitable! I got good news, this team led by the mentality of shannon, barrow hurtt, corey bell, ice harriss, they are looking at this schedule with glee, why because thisi s a MAN's schedule and that's why you come to play at UM, and once they run thru these 1st 4 games, LOOK OUT!

Any recruiting geniuses bored out there? Fill in the blanks.
After signing day Manny had an interview with Hurtt. Hurtt gave him a breakdown of the numbers and positions we'll be going for in 2010 (2009 predictions were pretty accurate in 2008 FWIW). The challenge is to fill in the question marks, not with who you want but who you think we'll get.
1 QB = ?
2 RB = ? ?
2 WR = ? ?
3 TE = ? ? ?
4 OL = Shane McDermott, C (Palm Beach Central); Jonathan Feliciano, T (Western); Tavadis Glenn, T(per ESPN) (T Parker HS); ?
3 DL = Louis Nix, DT (Raines); Todd Chandler, DT(Northwestern); ?
3 LB = ? ? ?
3/4 DB = ? ? ? (?)
(1) K = (?)
I know we are a far way out but I'm sure some of you guys have really knowledge of who is a "sure thing". Just bored here...
