Independence Bowl vs Miami

J’Mar never looked settled in pocket all game. It’s like he was anticipating lots of pressure & just never settled in
I think we were easily 21 pts better than Miami & I certainly expected 25 + pts from our offense
We won - yes against a VERY avg team. Heck our conference champ had a lame opponent as well SO not much a G5 school can do post season. We need a G5 playoff system to spice up the post season
Something to play for cuz we will never have the resources to compete as a P5

It was a frustrating, but good gameplan. UM’s speed made it more likely that we’d put the ball in danger if we threw much. J’Mar played like his only objective was to protect the ball. He’s terrible when he plays tight like that, but save the terrible pick, he did what I believe HOLTZ wanted him to do.

Did you see Holtz jump his butt after the first series when he got sacked twice? I think Holtz was telling him he was going to have to get rid of it quick against their pass rush. (maybe?).

Might as well drop back to FCS then, which is where many of our fans apparently think we ought to be.

He had plenty of time to get rid of the ball. He was focusing on his favorite receiver at that point.

I was just guessing at the time, but Skip knew that we were going to win at that time and just put a little icing on it for J'Mar. Our defense showed that we could hold - especially with less than a minute left.

100% agree

JMar was pressured the entire game by a great statistical proven defense.
Oh, and “never say never”!

I totally agree. I love me some Connor Taylor. I don't know if he has NFL aspirations or if he stands a chance of making an NFL roster, but I have never seen him take a play off. His play reminds me of how Nick Thomason played - another favorite of mine.

I was beginning to wonder what J'Mar was smoking. There's throwing the ball where only your player can catch it, then there's throwing it where no one can catch it. I realize sometimes you need to just throw it away, but I don't think that was what he was trying to do on some of his misses by a mile. There were times when our guys were wide open and J'Mar sailed it over their heads. Reminded me a lot of how he was playing early in the season. But, I am very happy for the win.

Because J'Mar is not a good QB. Glad that mofo is gone.

I was wondering about the 2nd QB that played - the commentators said he was a 5-star rated QB coming out of HS??! How could that be, the guy was terrible. No wonder he left his old school. He couldn't have even pushed J'Mar.
