Posted by: WWIN | October 29, 2014 at 10:22 PM
I really hope we blitz the mess out of NC. The way to neutralize a running QB is to make him run. Some say sit back and force him to throw, but I see the more one dimensional you can make them the worst they play.
Posted by: Da U N Houston | October 29, 2014 at 10:33 PM
Uhhhh - not sure about that strategy. Guy's slippery, quick, also has quick feet and can run really well.
He starts picking up the blitz on your blitz heavy strategy, and we'll get torched repeatedly.
Blitzes are ok, but in a straregic way. This team isn't yet ready for us to be comfortable that missed/pickedup blitzes are going to be handled on the back end.
If it was up to me, I'd play them straight up, some blitz, some run blitz, but not frequent. Man Press them? Sure, at least some of the time, zone too. Kind of what we've already done in a few games.
Posted by: Lurker | October 29, 2014 at 10:58 PM
WWIM...I forgot you coached AAU, I didn't mean to generalize ya'll like that. But I'm not feelin' this dude...at last year's 1st parent-coaches meeting, all this dude talked about was raising $12K. I was like..."We didn't have to raise $12K last year, why do we have to raise it this year?" Point blank, this dude's tryna hustle, He's not shakin' me down!
Posted by: CaneRock | October 29, 2014 at 10:58 PM
We have the talent edge offensively and defensively. We have like an 80-20% disparity of our offensive talent against their defensive talent. We will win every game if we run for 165 yards as a team. I sense another strong game by the Duke, Kaaya hits the throws he missed last week, and we roll to a nice win for Jim Kelly. They might have a slight edge on offense versus our defense, say 55-45% only because the QB is a special player. The line is 15 and that is a tad high to me but we should be favored by at least 8 points because of their defense struggles.
I hope people go to the game and support Jim Kelly, Jim Kelly single handedly brought this team from obscurity to immediate relevance. In 1981, Kelly engineered wins against Florida, Houston, Penn State, FSU, VT and Notre Dame in one season. Phenomenal accomplishment.
I am older now but I still remember in the loss to Texas at Texas that same year when we were royally robbed by a phantom call for PI when Eddie Brown made a break from the corner, barely touches him, caught the ball 20 yards down the field later for what would have been a tying TD but for the flag, that literally threw out of the refs pocket when it was clear it would be a Miami TD. But I am not bitter at all.
Kelly was the man. You took notice by his play. That started the beginning of the program as one of excellence and led to all the success later. He deserves the fan support for his heroism at UM, and for how well he has lived his life since the diagnosis. Class act, Class QB.

SJM:
Great run down memory lane with Jim Kelly. Also, that 1981 win over Penn State was on the road, their homecoming game and against the then #1 team in the country. That game was amazing.
Trivia question of the day would be who Jim Kelly's backup was? For those who need the hints, he's pretty well-known now as a coach, and he played his hs ball in Palm Beach county.

I think we will win 48-50 games this year, mostly using the formula from last night. Play even with most teams then use our experience at winning to pull out a bunch of them late.

TBT:
Miami Piles It On Houston
Hurricane Defense Stifles Qb Klingler
September 13, 1991|By Ed Sherman, Chicago Tribune.
MIAMI — College football`s bullies, Houston, strayed into the wrong neighborhood Thursday.
Houston discovered that Miami isn`t Eastern Washington or Louisiana Tech, teams it made a reputation on by running up the scores. And America discovered that the Cougars aren`t ready for prime time.
The No. 2 Hurricanes blitzed to a 40-10 victory over No. 10 Houston, which learned what it`s like to be on the other side of a rout. Throughout the country, coaches who loathe coach John Jenkins` pile-it-on tactics had to delight in watching him twist for a change.
Nobody hurt more than Houston`s David Klingler. The quarterback saw his Heisman Trophy chances take a severe jolt, as Miami had him running for cover. Klingler has run up his stats against also-rans (1,798 yards and 27 touchdowns in his last three games). But if you can`t do it against the best, you probably don`t deserve to be called the best. Or at least the thinking goes.
Miami led 30-3 at halftime, and what was supposed to be a dream matchup turned out to be a fraud. The real thing probably will occur Oct. 12 when Penn State visits Miami.
Miami almost was Houston`s best offense in the first half. The Hurricanes picked up 74 yards in penalties, while the Cougars gained only 76 yards of total offense.
Houston`s run-and-shoot offense became run-and-duck for Klingler. The Cougars have only one returning starter on their offensive line.
The Hurricanes constantly was in Klingler`s face, as he barely had time to look downfield. Consequently, a downfield pass became a rarity for Houston. The supposed greatest quarterback in college football had to resort to attempting embarrassing short shovel passes to try to keep the Hurricanes off- balance. It didn`t work.
In the first half, Klingler completed 12 of 25 passes for 71 yards. Wishbone numbers, not run-and-shoot.
If anyone looked like a Heisman player Thursday, it was Miami quarterback Gino Torretta. However, he had an edge over Klingler in that he got to face Houston`s defense. The Cougars ranked 103rd out of 106 Division I teams in total defense last year. Despite returning nine of 11 starters, Houston obviously still has a long way to go.
Jenkins likes to gamble on defense, too, and the Hurricanes broke him easily. Torretta picked up blitz after blitz, leaving the Cougars cornerbacks constantly exposed in one-on-one situations. Miami exploited the mismatches to the fullest, as Torretta threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.
Before the game, Jenkins put a muzzle on his players because the talk was getting out of hand.
``This is not a World Wrestling Federation match,`` Jenkins said. ``This is going to be for real.``
Fantasy would have been better. At least in the WWF they keep the matches close.
The game got off to a relatively slow start. Miami punted on its first possession, and Houston followed suit. Houston did pick up a first down in its first series. Little did the Cougars know that it would be their only first down in the quarter.
Miami assumed control of the game in its second series. Torretta hit Lamar Thomas over the middle for 15 yards, and then Stephen McGuire ran 25 yards on a screen to the Houston 2. Fullback Martin Patton ran it in from there for the game`s first score.
Houston`s offense continued to sputter, as Klingler was sacked on the next series.
Torretta then went to work again. Reading the blitz, he hit Horace Copeland on one-on-one coverage for a 35-yard bomb. Three plays later, Torretta launched a rainbow from the two-yard line. Thomas, acting like a center-fielder, caught it for the touchdown.
Miami held Houston again on the next series. On first down, Miami defensive tackle Mark Caesar hit Klingler for a four-yard loss before the quarterback took his second step back from center.
Offensively, it was more of the same for Miami. As the second quarter began, Torretta found Kevin Williams behind the secondary, hitting him for a 33-yard touchdown pass.
Suddenly, Klingler was down 21-0 and looking very much like Eastern Washington. On Houston`s next series, Klingler threw three straight incomplete passes. He went seven in a row before hitting Fred Gilbert with a three-yard swing pass.
Houston finally showed some signs of offense midway through the second half. Klingler moved the Cougars downfield with series of short passes. Houston drove down to the Miami 7, but it stopped there. On third down, Klingler scrambled for his life before throwing the ball out of the endzone. Roman Anderson salvaged the drive with a 25-yard field goal.
But it didn`t take long for Miami to show Klingler how it should be done. Torretta hit Thomas on a fly pattern for 71 yards. It was the same old story. Houston blitzed, leaving Thomas isolated on cornerback Jerry Parks. The touchdown gave Miami a 28-3 lead.
Houston then hit its lowpoint on its next series. Not only did Miami swamp them again, but in punting from the endzone, Charles Langston saw the snap sail over his head for a safety. That sent the Hurricanes into the lockerroom with a 30-3 lead.

Dude
The 76er's. The worst team in pro sports? Really.
I will gladly put up their last NBA championship against the Chicago Cubs last World Series championship and even spot you 50 years.

^^^^ This paints a very different picture than the ones that fans are:
Comparing Miami's Run Defense
Team YPC vs. Miami YPC vs others
Louisville 4.21 4.67
Ark. State 2.98 6.07
Nebraska 6.35 6.43
Duke 3.62 6.16
Ga. Tech 5.09 6.60

However Browar County Public Schools rep tells me investigation ongoing into academic eligibility of multiple players at Miramar
Watch out...
... probably why Leeward Brown is no longer committed!

Lol, not all time peeps, this year. As far as I know, the 76ers are the only team that is trying to lose games. Those Cubies got nothing on my Padres for suckiness.

Ohio after eight games I think unless you're completely blind, the defense bashing is dead in the water.
There have been zero inexplicable performances and if you're still saying anything with "500 yards, career day" or any of the rest of that rhetoric, you just aren't watching the games.

I know one thing after 8 games my guys are 8-0 #1 playoff seed. There are 5 undefeated teams in the playoffs, but we scored most and allowed least. We averaged 32.5 per game...257/8....pretty good. Defensively we pitched 3 shutouts gave up 73 all year...9.125 per game 32.5 vs 9.125 pretty damn good.....I am pleased. We have to win 3 to get to the big one....we will see. everyone is gunning for us, but I feel like we will prevail. We play sound, aggressive, fast, quick, low, hard, highly aggressive Apocalypse Now Football. Speed, Strength, Power, Quick, Hostile, Mobile, Agile....FUNDAMENTAL FOOTBALL. We never talk or say a word, we confidently and quietly inside think the sum of our parts are the best....its in our hearts and minds, never in our mouth or on our lips.
This is our time once again. The winds are up, temps dropping....the autumn wind is a Raider!!!!
I do hope for some cold and snow as we are ready to win 6 in 8 years. If so, I retire a man who has done his very best to lead his guys....who get all the credit as they do the work...to success in Life Family School then Football.
We put some new stuff in, some of the very complex parts of the 46....and we are lining up in the Dallas Flex.
PS first game they know we love the run....and a little bird told me our opponent is prepping hard for the run.
We are coming out first 20 plays in Read option spread and Wishbone.....in a no huddle....just to F*@k with them.....I want 3 TDs right off the bat!!

I wouldn't go that far, there were a few questionable games, Louisville, Nebraska and GT, but improvement has followed and IF we beat UNC tomorrow CONVICINGLY, then u can lay claim to that statement. People just choose to believe what they want to believe if it fits their hate/love agenda. That goes for BOTH sides too.
Posted by: 86Cane | October 30, 2014 at 07:14 PM
Let's not act like we beat the 98 VT team with Mike Vick now LMAO! And who are these more talented players that replaced anybody...
How long was Kirby ridin' the pine behind Gaines?
Heurtelou?...wasn't He on the team last season, if He was so talented, why couldn't He beat out Porter?
Crawford?...weren't ya'll raving about Him in the Spring?...whu happened?
Carter?...He can't beat out FENTRESS?! (Sorry WWIM LMAO)
Who did Chick replace?
Who did Pierre replace?
I don't see this talent replenishment that ya'll are talkin' about...SHOW ME!
Posted by: CaneRock | October 30, 2014 at 07:14 PM

The GT game bothers me most. UL and NE I can let go, but GT? Not so much.
