Another gift. One first down wins this one.
That pass wasn't even close.
Offsetting penalties certainly fair. The 'targeting' not so much.
This defense has been incredible..
That'll help!
The MVP in most Tech games is the other team
Refs CANT reverse an interception
He should have grabbed the turnover chain from the Miami sideline while he was there.
Miami is horrible. All we had to do to win today was step onto the field. Defense has played well but to the competition. Offense is a lame horse.Quote:

Honestly the Miami Offense is so bad it’s comical
I bet holtz has some plays drawn up where we can get at least 2 more punts for our punter before time expires.

No shit. Slide down then take a chance of a fumble when all you need to do is down the damn ball.Quote:

I’m glad for the win. I’m glad the season is over. Most of all I’m glad JMar doesn’t have any more eligibility.
Awesome defensive performance and game plan.
Who got the MVP?
That offense scored 210 points in 8 ACC games and not less than 16 in any game all year before today. That says lots about the teams in the ACC not named Clemson.Quote:

Some of the posts in the GIFs thread over there are hilarious though.
There is a lot of funny stuff over there right now, well funny cause we are on this side of it..... some of it is just funny period.
My takeaways:
BoP better than theirs.
Against a good team, Amik would have been missed.
Tech fans showed up, as expected. Miami not so much, as expected.
It was ugly, but we had a great time in spite of the poor performance.
The old school WAVE that got rolling thru the stadium may have been the most creative play of the night...Quote:

The concessions were running out at the beginning of the 3rd.
Beginning of the game, bathrooms were pretty clean. At the end, a half inch of water in the floor.
Best part of the night was after the game. We went to Academy to get my daughter a Saints T-shirt since she is the only one who didn’t get one from Santa. 7 years old and already a die hard Saints fan.
And the only shutout in 34 years of the Independence Bowl.Quote:

Nice crowd and a nice win against a “big time” program. The weather was great to boot.
The end was puzzling to me. JMar slid short of the goal line, presumably to be able to run out the clock. I think a couple of kneel downs would have run out the clock. BUT, we then run the ball. It was great we scored a TD, but what if Tech had fumbled and Miami ran it back for a TD? They would have tied or, with a 2 point conversion, beaten us when we could have been up 14-0 of JMar had just completed the run the first time.
What did I miss? Is there some sound strategy to what Tech did there?
Just imagine how this game might’ve turned out if JMar had played closer to his potential. If half of his poorly thrown unforced error type throws had been better, Tech might’ve, should’ve, could’ve won 28-0. I guess you can say the score doesn’t matter much after the fact. The thing is though that once again part of the Tech team didn’t play to its potential and as is the case more often than not its the part that Holtz oversees.
I remember going to the last Miami vs Tech game, the bathroom had standing water. Must be bad old plumbing at Independence StadiumQuote:

Miami pretty much carried him over the goal line there at the end. Better for them I suppose.
what it looked like to me at first is that jmar (smartly) took a dive to run out the clock, but holtz wanted him to go ahead and get another score, so cut him loose to run it again. could be they knew the personnel maimi had in the game had no chance of stopping the qb run? maybe they wanted to give the fans a little more excitement to end the game?Quote:

I Just want to verify something i thought i saw at the game, Am I crazy or did Miami get 6 plays on a set of downs at one point? I mean we got the ball back regardless cause Miami's Offense was the biggest turd out there tonight but still.
Yeah that ain't going to happen!Quote:

Of course I prefer our offense to play well, to be a well-oiled machine. But! I LOVE watching a dominating defense!!! I get all giddy when my team(s) are awesome on defense!
Smith is mediocre, at best. All the blogs I follow have been absolutely brutal on Miami, but some posters have also said "What's up with Tech's QB, he sucks." Smith is the QB of record in our last three bowl wins, but in each case it was the defense that won the games.
And this...James Jackson played a big game last night, and I said when the suspensions occurred his absence was the biggest loss. Last night Smith-Hardy contributed nothing to the cause, and the other guy acting out of pure selfishness, Amik, played no role in a HUGE shutout win!!! That's right, Amik, the loyal Dawgs delivered a big defensive effort, on national TV versus a P5 team. And did it without you! Suck on that, bud!
Yeah, I know, many of you defend Amik's decision. But, obviously, I don't. Oh, and guess what, none of our DBs who played last night got hurt. Imagine that...
Oh, but you forget....he was nursing that fantom injury he suffered in the UTSA game! You are spot on....I hope he enjoys looking at the rings of his abandoned team mates!Quote:

Man some of ya'll are like little depressed rain clouds, having to get upset and down about something even when we just had a perceptively HUGE win. Don't worry and be happy, at least for a little while.
I think the TD at the end came from the tackler trying to strip the ball more than make a tackle. The result was him kind of spinning Smith into the end zone.
The defense did play very well, no question!
The offense ran the ball effectively enough especially when you consider we didn’t do hardly anything different than what we normally do.
The passing game was mostly ineffective except for about 6 catches. Otherwise JMar missed his mark as bad as he ever has. He just isn’t a skilled touch pass QB. All in all I’d say he was worse without Rattay trying to fine point him.
I get little satisfaction in beating bad teams.Quote:

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.Quote:

The both experience of playing Miami, their fanbase were assholes. We had a Miami fan sit in the Tech section throwing up the "U" and talking a lot of smack next to us. He left at halftime. I guess he went back to his hotel to cry and snort his coke.
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

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?).Quote:

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.Quote:

Tate Martell. He was the heir apparent @ Ohio State until Justin Fields transferred in. So Vanilla Ice transferred to Miami. He's quit the team, re-joined the team. Seems like his head is messed up. Here is more info:Quote:
