No Laterals Needed

Your Miami Hurricanes beat the Duke Blue Devils in convincing fashion in Durham, NC on Friday night by the score of 31-6. We are also pleased to announce that no laterals were needed during this domination of an ACC team.

As all you know, I predicted this outcome and even put it in writing right here on Canespace the day before the game.   

You see I have good information that Mark Richt and his merry band of warriors have been playing it very close to the vest and hiding several key aspects of their team, game plan and play calling until they feel it is needed against better competition on the schedule.

Certainly this concept is not new or hard to believe or understand nor would it be the first time a team or coach employed this strategy going into a season.

However, in this particular case this is much richer and bit juicier from the information I have and all the indications we have seen so far.

There are 10 key factors that I believe Miami is prepared to unleash on their opponents this season. Against Duke, we saw only a two of these concepts employed but rest assured there are more coming. So watch closely Hurricane fans, the best is yet to come!

OK, you are right Terrance. Richt is a cold hearted, ruthless killer of teams who calls deep passes and runs reverses against team deserve no mercy. Now go read that back to yourself and see if that works for you. Boht you and I know that is not what you believe, not what you told me after recent games and simply NOT true.

Care to argue further?

I cannot believe that someone is on here defending OJ Fing Simpson. Even hard core conspiracy nut's are like, "CHILD PLEASE"!!

Chem trails, the lunar landing was fake, the Sandy Hook shooting was fake, 9/11 was an "inside" job, etc, etc, etc. What in the f*** has happened to this great country?

The internet can make smart people "smarter", but it can also have the opposite effect with grave consequences. It will be the undoing of our way of life in the future. You can vault that!!

Why would defense lawyers allow exculpatory evidence hidden? Doesn't make sense

[TruCane81]

The defense went the racism route to get the not guilty verdict. Ask any of OJ's lawyers and they would say he was guilty as hell! I watched the series on TV and it was pretty good. Learned some stuff I never knew! That racist Mark Furman didn't help matters!

Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | October 01, 2017 at 09:19 PM

No they went the race card route because it was the only way to defend their client without opening a can of worms that could cost them everything.

Ojs lawyers colluded with the prosecution to SEAL phone records that were exculpatory to OJ.

Read that again. Instead of just not allowing the phone records as evidence, they SEALED them and the defense allowed it.

They did not want who Nicole was calling to be public.

Mark Fuhrman did EXACTLY what he was supposed to.

This thing is DEEP.

Bet the special did not tell you Ron Goldman was openly gay and everybody knows it. There was no sexual relationship and everyone knows it.

But they dont report that on court tv or espn 30 for 30.

All I ask any of you is to due your due dilligence before making a judgement.

You need to get your facts straight Dude.

I respect the way you think which is why I am telling you this.

You dont know enough about the case to understand what I am saying.

Nicole had her head sawed nearly completely off. Ron was stabbed about 70 times.

ALL IN TOTAL SILENCE WITH EAR WITNESSES ALL AROUND.

IT AS NOT A HIT, IT WAS MURDER AND FRAME UP.

EVERY single piece of blood evidence showed evidence of planting and inauthenticity but the police did not show up and frame him.

Look into it DEEPER in your spare time.

You will learn alot more about the world we live in.

Ok Im done with OJ.

Yea True it doesn't really take a lot of precision to stab someone to death. Don't know what tactics were used, but I've seen people stabbed to death with by the tactical expertise of any old drunk redneck.

There was hardly military tactic involved. Hahahahaha. Sorry I dont mean to laugh about it, but Nicole was stabbed 7 times, Ron was stabbed over 20. There was blood every where. Nicole's house, O.J.'s house, the Bronco. This thing wasnt surgical. A military guy (hitman) just shoots her in the head twice and gets back in the car with his driver.

Don't think he'd have a problem killing 2 people in an knife ambush. People don't tend to react quickly and decisively when surprised like that.

Posted by: 1mg of Epi | October 01, 2017 at 05:36 PM

You have to look closer at THE METHOD used to kill them.

Any scenario can work 8n your imag8nation because your are not limited by th8ngs like the laws of physics and skills.

An example of this 8s the gate oj suppossedly jumped to reenter Rockingham undetected. When you see the ACTUAL fence, you realize this is silly and did not happen.

The logistics of actually kill8ng two healthy people SILENTLY IN THE DARK with a tactic no normal person would know in 1994 is unplausible and nearly impossible.

He had ZERO time and was clean, crisp and relaxed for a limo ride to the airport. The timeline was the most easily conclusive proof.

Oj Simpson was acquitted because the jury realized immediately he did not have the t8me, skill or physical ability to pull off the actual crime.

This was not some generic domestic dispute gone wrong. A squirrley amateur d8d not commit that crime.

The person who killed Ron and Nicole has killed many people and 8t showed in the flawless execut8on of the cr8me.

Miami is #13 in the AP poll, and #12 in the coaches poll. The Canes can beat every opponent remaining game on their schedule. If the Canes can keep winning, they will beat a couple of ranked teams who they are favored to beat (ND, VT), everything else will take care of itself and they will be near the top of the polls heading into the ACC championship

The bottom line: Miami has everything going in it's favor this Saturday. The only issue is the status of Mark ( Personally, I don't believe he's fully healed and is playing at 85%. OUCH. ). In other words, if Miami doesn't win by more than 17 points. Than something is terribly wrong in Thee Gables.

I don't have the stats to back up my opinion, but I think the talent disparity between the Teams isn't as stark... everybody's on TV now, and kids want playing time, so they'll go to a USF.

Also, some really good coaches can even out a talent gap. for the most part, 5s beat 3s. Badly. If not it's a coaching problem.

On an unrelated note - the Miami Dolphins are horrendous. After 17 years of mediocrity, I wish the franchise was simply contracted or would move away. As a whole, the NFL at time is so much less than college football. And it won't change, per this article below:

He's definitely doesnt seem to be a run it up kind of coach. Our sample size is small but these are our second half scoring differentials from the second half of the ND game and our 8 game winning streak:

Notre Dame + 10
Pitt + 17
Virginia + 17
NC State +14
Duke +10
WVU +3
BCU + 10
Toledo +18
Duke +14

He does seem to play a ton of young guys as early as he can and we've been with a hobbled Walton and completely without Richards for a majority of this season.

For what it's worth we look to be as healthy as I can ever remember going into game 4. Don't think we've lost a single vital player this year to injury.

This is true.

That's why when you hear the matchups announced every weekend in college football there seem to be endless number of "good games" every week. It does seem like teams 10-40 are about the same teams and most could beat the other on any given Saturday.

[58 Straight]

This never happened on either count, did it?

Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | October 01, 2017 at 11:20 AM

Nope, but I still think Richt and the team would be better served with a FT experienced OC (NOT Thomas Brown) who can focus on offense ONLY and utilize the talent we have properly. I'd rather see Richt as the CEO and maybe spend some time on ST IF he wants to do more than be the CEO. Our special teams need some serious tweaking.

Consistently running into stacked fronts and going three and out over and over and over again just because you want to be stubborn and not let the defense dictate to you is not productive. But Richt is smart and he knows that and has done it so far so as not to show tendencies and will not continue that against better teams (#7).

I mean I get it, defenses want to take away the run and force Rosier to throw because they feel that is the weak link that they can expose and may lead to sacks and turnovers. But there are safe patterns and passes that can be very effective and keep Rosier out of trouble while taking advantage of what the defense is giving.
I expect that to happen more often as the season progresses.

The one thing I will say is that Richt is happy just winning and never goes for style points. He seems to lack the will or the way to run it up on lesser teams and takes his foot off the gas way too much for my taste. But hey, that's just me.

This post got me think8ng.

Judging from Malik's play, was there ever any real battle between he and Shireffs?

If there was it means we are actually pretty decent at qb.

Aint heard much about Nkosi taking over lately lol.

For the fourth game now Malik has proven he is who he said he was when he won his first start with solid play.

He and the oline have to fight for maturity together and improve every week.

Friday's defense is much closer to who we really are. We need to be better against the interior run.

I think Diaz will break out more single high press man as the seas9n progresses. Our dline is proving worthy of that trust.

This team can TRANSFORM before our eyes if we can just stay healthy.

We need to protect Mark with more first down pasing. He is proving a capable reciever and can move the chains without getting over worked in the scrum.

I hope and pray U are correct Sir.

It is time for the pain to end.

[TonyCane]

Yes, GoCanes and I think coaching and development play a huge part. A bad HC, OC or DC can squander talent. Texas is an example. On paper, they had more talent than us last year. Yet last year they win only 5 games, and they are defeated by Kansas (which had not beaten a 1A opponent in two years).

Superior talent can also be negated by a deficiency at one key position. For that I give you the 2006 Miami Hurricanes. Unfortunate recruiting left Miami with four scholarship receivers that season. We still had a good defense, but our offense was literally neutered. Kyle Wright did not suddenly forget how to QB. He had little to work with after his primary weapons went to the NFL after 2005 and Coker had been unable to replace them.

For us, an example would be QB. Suppose Perry had started from the get go because like FSU now, we had no choice. I presume we beat Bethune, but does a true freshmen in Perry get us past Toledo or Duke, even with the talent surrounding him? We could be 3-0. Or 1-2.

[TruCane81]

Last night I saw a special on Scott Peterson. I never paid much attention to the case but Ii thought it sttange he was convicted with basically no real evidence.

Found out there is more there than meets the eye.

They announced his alibi to the public while his wife was still missing, making it easy to frame him if thats what happened.

You have to be careful with emotional news stories. They recreate mob mentality.

Millions of people thonk OJ a murderer when the EVIDENCE PROVED HE WAS INNOCENT AT PRELIMINARY HEARING!

Rosier leads the ACC in passing efficiency (166.98) and Walton leads the ACC in rushing yards per game (134.33).

I am aware of the downside of what he does, which is why I said he will get flag.

But instead of being the guy getting picked on giving up completions against a reciever he had some difficulty shadowing, he playsd hard to the whistle and helped an overall solid performance on d.

Good win last night. Walton needs to get healthy, which probably won't be until bowl season. It will be tough to run against FSU, especially for Walton on a bum wheel. Homer should be used more. Rosier is not great but at least he can avoid the rush and pick up yards when protection breaks down. We should beat Da Noles but we have to play to win.

When do you folks want me to make my FSU prediction? I was gonna wait until Friday with a new blog article around 1 PM? Is that sufficient?

If it made sense, it wouldn't be the NCAA. But in NFL overall record is used to determine division and conference rankings too.

Looks like Clemson has converted Lane Stadium into a woodshed, and Clemson has taken VT back to the woodshed to show them who is their daddy.

VT looks overwhelmed and out-manned.

I think we got this?

1. All the WR has to do is run right into him and it's pass interference EVERY time... So DB's should not do it and coaches should not teach it.

2. Sounds like another coaching issue. According to the staff he's a beast and gets a interception EVERY practice.

Both Miami and Washington State took away the downfield passing game in wins Friday. According to ESPN Stats & Info, Washington State held USC's Sam Darnold to 3 of 15 passing for 50 yards and an interception on throws beyond five yards. Duke's Daniel Jones went just 1 of 7 on throws of 15 yards or longer against Miami. Duke WR T.J. Rahming had just one reception of 15 yards or longer on four targets.

Yeah Tony there was some hyperbole but I stand by my statement because of Malik.

Also because when WE play fsu, theycant guard our recievers, even back when we had Hurns and when Rashawn was our best reciever.

We get the lead then its nut up and play scared time.

1. Only if you are making contact with the reciever. There is no incidental contact if you dont look back. The way Young does it most time is cool but he will get flagged eventually.

I have rarely seen "face guarding" called unless there was contact. Most guys run through the reciever instead of just attacking th e hands.

2. That was back in high school. Right now he does not have the ability to control recievers in a way that would allow him to break on the ball. It dont make him a scrub, just not a stud yet..
