The Tale Of Two Halves

It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. 

That was the tale of the Miami Hurricanes football game against Toledo on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium before the good guys won convincingly 52-30.

In the first half the Hurricanes looked, well, like some smoldering dog crap.

Then, in the second half they looked like, well, the steaming cream of the crop. As fans, most were so angry in the first half that they would have fired the coaching staff and team. Then suddenly, a different team arrived. 

At that time we saw a completely different team wake up, smell the coffee, and dominate the second half. So the question remains: "Who are these Miami Hurricanes?" We are convinced that the answer is sure to follow...

Funyuns babeeee!!!

Telfort is also accused of using stolen credit card numbers to pay for food delivery to his dorm on several occasions. In one order, he allegedly charged $22.82 to have Chester's Hot Fries, Funyuns, Gatorade, Sour Patch Kids and Gummi Worms delivered to his dorm.

Scarlett girlfriend said he told her he got the money from an agent in New York! She is also linked in all this, I don't think she knew what was going on though.

[Ohio_Cane]

Richards will play Friday. Get in on the Canes at -6 before it changes more.

[Go Canes!]

Can't wait to see what happens when these kids start to talk about who knew what, when they knew about it and what they did when they found out.

Duke's defense is NO. 11 in the country. OUCH! Miami has the NO. 6 offense in the country.

So, will Miami's strength or Duke's strength be the deciding FACTOR come Friday. hUh.

It's absolutely NOT ridiculous to say the least. Now if U only had the eyes to see, then you would know it's a GOOD OL' BOY SYSTEM run by the NCAA. And Florida ( And the SEC. ) are just a few members of that system. Along with the vast majority of the Power 5 schools. Of course, there's always exception to the rULes. dUh.

[TonyCane]

Is it just me, or does it seem that in the last ten years the University of Florida has more felonies and other high crimes and misdemeanors than any other school in the country...by far?

Perhaps the NCAA can make a special allowance for the Gators and allow them 105 scholarship players and 35 signees a year. That way UF can continue to field a competitive roster while allowing for the legion of players who have off the field issues.

Ridiculous!

Another familiar name...

Mark Long @APMarkLong
Gators OL Kadeem Telfort has 30 felony charges in the credit card fraud

[Go Canes!]

Florida star receiver Antonio Callaway and starting tailback Jordan Scarlett were among the players charged with felonies on Monday by the state attorney's office in Gainesville, Florida. Callaway, one of nine suspended players during the investigation, was charged with first-degree felony fraud/swindle obtaining property under $20,000 and felony fraud/impersonation for using or possessing another person's ID without consent.

[Go Canes!]

Think he meant 7 pm.

Walton has that dog in him.

Think if Homer shows that as well, he can be special.

No he isn't. He's going to live and die by that front four pass rush again this season and he'll end up having another good year by the end of this one to go with his competent one last year. The doofus you're referring to never even had one good season, just historically bad one after historically bad one no matter how cuffed regarding tempo the other half of the team played to try to protect the swiss cheese scheme that GD couldn't stop slurping up. I know that's a low bar to clear but they're still using smoke and mirrors this year to hide problems on the roster so it'll have to suffice for one more signing day. Good thing it'll be an early one I guess.

He was GARBAGE before Winston!

Cook needs to be added to the act as well tho

Our DC is beginning to smell like another DC that you didn't care for.... I won't say any names tho lol

[thirstybuzzardcane]

I agree Cinco! I think he's right up there with Walton, IMO!

[30CINCO]

Travis Homer...looks like the real deal.

[thirstybuzzardcane]

I would like for the D to play more press! Let the D-line to their magic!

From Twitter today:

If we wanted to take a look at #FSU and Jimbo Fisher in 3 acts:
Act I (Pre Jameis) 31-10
Act II (Jameis) 27-1
Act III (Post Jameis) 20-8

CANES -6 VS DUKE.. I SEE IT GOING TO -8 WITH THE RETURN OF RICHARDS

[orange 'n green in the vein]

These blogs are getting better in the Smart Mark era.

Good news, for Miami Hurricanes!

[Old Skool]

Palm Beach Post saying Richards will be back for Duke.

[40-3]

Can someone explain to me what has happened with Delaney? Did he play a different type of defense at Citadel? This guy was supposed to be a stud and he seems to have all the tools - so what is going wrong with him? It seemed that Toledo was just abusing him all day long.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Zilla all is well Brotha. Hate I missed you Saturday at the Rock. See you at the Rock for the Georgia Tech game.

[Go Canes!]

Imo on a give Saturday almost anyone can beat almost anyone in college football today.

That's yet another thing that makes it a thousand times better than the NFL or just about anything else out there in sports.

[canezilla]

Anybody heard or seen Terrance? Hope all is well..Friday can't come soon enough

[AfriCane]

So Wyoming’s defense is number 7 in turnovers.
Just so if u want worry about small time teams.

[AfriCane]

I mean, even Wyoming is playing good this year.

[TruCane81]

Oh yeah shout out to tool box Trent.

He had a great game.

The pass rush is excellent.

Teams are quick passing because its so scary.

We gotta chip and bump recievers to disrupt timing, make the qb go to his second and third read, giving our guys a chance to make sacks and cause bad throws.

If our opponents KNOW a slot reciever will be WIDE OPEN EVERY play on a 3 step drop like has been the case the first two games, it wont matter if the dline is LT, JJ Watt, Reggie White, and Warren Sapp.

The rush will be in consequential if we dont eliminate the constant free releases and unaccounted for recievers pre snap.

[AfriCane]

Just watched the duke game again. Not impressed. While QB is good. He is not Logan. Their receivers not explosive like Toledo.

[Dude]

Diaz will get the D right. We'll be fine.

[CoCane]

^^^True

[AeroCane]

Am I first? That's a first!
A very fun team to watch! If Diaz can get the D going, and richt continue to call aggressively, we can be very good!
