Bud Foster is going out on a roll. Nine consecutive scoreless quarters.
And they did not. Miami becomes the first team to lose three games in a season as a >14 pt favoriteMiami keeping it real with a 0-13 deficit at the half against FIU. They’ll probably pull it out but woof.
Oof. Manny Diaz won’t last longAnd they did not. Miami becomes the first team to lose three games in a season as a >14 pt favorite
I can’t imagine having having 50 4-star+ athletes on your team but not being able to beat teams like FIU and Georgia Tech. Although when I think about how awful their fans are as human beings, it’s nice that they get what they deserve.
This speaks volumes about recruiting vs coaching. You really need both to be good. But we’ve seen first hand you can win with superior coaching coupled with below par recruiting if the talent you do have is strategically placed.I can’t imagine having having 50 4-star+ athletes on your team but not being able to beat teams like FIU and Georgia Tech.

I actually like the progress we have made this season. There has been a lot of discussion about Collins v. Johnson, but I think it's misplaced. We did not have enough big OL and DL for either coach to succeed this season. That has been clear from the start. Things might have been better on the OL had Braun stayed, but I think he was leaving no matter. He wanted to showcase himself for the NFL and doing it at GT was out of the question. Then we had all those injuries and suddenly we are playing walk-ons. I do not think Johnson would have fared any better. Maybe, since he had recruited most of the OL, we might have been slightly better running the ball in the TO.This speaks volumes about recruiting vs coaching. You really need both to be good.

We’re about to find out if we can be successful with the exact opposite. Miami can’t do it, neither can FSU.
Manny Diath ith in deep thit.

As for Miami, I think their fanbase has got to adjust to the fact that life has passed them by and the U is no longer the home for strutting and trash talking it used to be. Clemson and uGA and Bama are getting everyone they want. Bama has 13 guys on their roster from Florida. Most of them from South Florida.

Manny Diaz is a dead man walking since Miami lost 30-24 to Florida Atlantic
Ya'll need to up your game on this site. I went on Canes Insight after church today, (Lord forgive me) and I was laughing so hard my wife thought I was about to have a heart attack. One guy photoshopped a picture of Al Golden's photo with that silly white shirt he wore with the orange tie with a picture of Manny's face superimposed on it. More than one of them claimed that they thought losing to Tech was the low point in the program's history and nope it was topped the same year by losing to a program that get scraps left over from scraps left over from Miami's scraps. They complained endlessly about Butch having his players apparently faking injuries to save timeouts. He pulled out all the stops to win FIU's first victory over a power 5 program.
Agree our melt game is lacking.
On a semi-related note, how overrated is that Tate Martell dude?
Most GT fans have a life.
