Just so you guys know how at least one Miami fan views the game. (not trying to be braggy or anything):
Miami should have won by more. If you told me these 3 things: 1- Offensively we would drive it into the Redzone 5 times (almost 6 since one of the TD's was from the 27 yard line), Travis Homer would rush for 170 yards on 8.5ypc. and we'd outgain you by 200 yards. 2- Defensively we would hold your offense to just 3 points after halftime, 281 total yards and only 226 on the ground when your season average is 458 yards rushing vs P5 opponents (UT, Pitt, UNC). 3- We would have no turnovers. ... I would tell you Miami won by at least 2 scores. I mean, 4 Redzone field goals is leaving 16 points on the board, not saying we absolutely should score every time we get in the redzone, but still thats terrible. Plus we just straight up gave you guys 7 points. Kicking an onside kick at all was just plain stupid, and letting you guys return it that easily is absolutely ridiculous. Easily the worst play/call of the entire game for either team.
So, while I believe we deserved to win by the eye test and stats, I really am surprised we did. And you guys should absolutely be pissed, I know I would be in your shoes. If it didn't start pouring rain, we might have successfully given you the game. And that's not talking about the field conditions (we have no control over that, blame the the Dolphins), thats because we are the Hurricanes and are used to practicing in downpours, and most importantly, it really energizes our crowd. Our fans love when it rains in close games. Also our Qb, Malik Rosier was complete garbage. The reason we ran those however many screens in a row at the end of the game was not just because you were leaving it open (why? lol) its because Mark Richt didn't trust Rosier to complete a pass anywhere down the field.
As for the rest of the season, I think you guys will prove to be the toughest win for us the rest of the season. Syracuse's high tempo offense is a tough thing to go against a week after playing your guys' slow time killing offense. But they shouldn't be too tough. VTech should be a good game but we're at home, so I'm confident. Unfortunately we don't have any bye weeks due to Irma and our QB is the incredibly inconsistent. You guys have a really tough schedule remaining, and I'll be rooting really hard for you guys vs VTech and UGA. But It's too bad you guys won't be playing Clemson this week when their QB is hurt. Anyways it was a good game, worse luck next year!
