Good 3&O on the first drive.
Nice play to pick up a few yards followed by a 4th and 40.

May have a tough time throwing the ball today.
Anyone else, feel meh?
the season i cared about died in Birmingham.
J'Mar either needs to get the ball off or take off. He will have dance partners quickly if he holds onto it.
Same. Nice diversion on a slow Christmas afternoon.Quote:

That wasn't a first down. Miami is only 6-6 guys, you don't have to kiss their asses
Tech radio thought it was a generous spot for Tech. Would have loved to see a good replay. Big 3rd down coming to get off the field.Quote:

Special teams is still special
First team to score will win.
Anything over 35 yards in the air outkicks the coverage. Better to kick it 30 and let it roll another 10 with no return.Quote:

Henderson is a man among boys. If we can crack the padding code he could have a record day.
Short screen passes probably won't help though.
Like the way Henderson is running, but nothing new there.
2nd and 1 was a perfect spot for run-action to go for a big play, but not for Skippy.
If I’m not mistaken this is the exact same game plan Tech has used every game. It’s amazing how absent of creativity we are.
I wouldn't want to be Manny right now. Have our plays down to the millimeter but somehow not able to capitalize.Quote:

No time to throw on that drive
JMar plays better when he's not thinking. Too much thinking there
Skippy was being too cute. But something fired him up about the 3rd down play. Not a bad sign if you ask me.Quote:

We only have to worry about him for 30 more minutesQuote:

Hard to with all of these airmail throws though. And then he nearly gets picked.
We really need to score. We get the ball back and need every possession
Watching live, J'Mar is pretty damn horrible.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't believe JMar has played collegiate football for 5 years.
So instead of a score, we get nothing. Thank you JMar!
He looks determined to throw a bad interception today.Quote:

J’mar is throwing the ball like he put money on Miami.
If anyone had told me Tech would be up 7-0 with Smith going 5 for 15, I'd have questioned their sanity.Quote:

Wouldn't it be nice to have some halftime show about the game you're in the halftime of once in a while?
Our commercial looks so smalltime compared to Miami’s
Why would you show an aerial view of the student center’s and Harper’s dirty roofs?
I’m glad to be winning but this is not a pretty game apart from one nice offensive drive
Production budgets, but still.Quote:

Perfect pass. More of that, please.
Shows how really bad it was under the previous administration.Quote:

If Tech had a second QB I’d say put him in if for no other reason that to get Smith’s attention, but as we all know we don’t have a 2nd.
Could be worse we could have one of Miami's QBs
Skip clearly can’t get anyone ready to play QB. I wish we could just go back to taking a transfer senior QB every year.
Playing @ Tech > Riding the pine @ P5
Gotta test J'Mar's pee. Dude has been smoking. Watching this game in person is tough.
Smith is awful
LMAO! So true.Quote:

Actually, guys, JMar is a BAD QUARTERBACK.
I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings.
Maybe the D can get a pick 6...
That's a gift.
Now watch Skippy play for 3. But today that might be enough.
Or just a pick
Announcers starting to realize Miami might actually lose
Honestly whatever ends this game soonerQuote:

Do you honestly they believe they did more homework than "who is Louisiana Tech?"Quote:

Bonehead JMar. You absolutely suck.
JMar has been trying to give this away all game.
Now, on arguably the most important play of the game, when we could have sealed a win, he lets us down again.
I'll be happy to never hear his name again.
The worst thing about that is it gives them an excuse to show that idiotic turnover chain.
Slot receiver on the right side was uncovered, too. There was a high safety over the center and a corner on the end. But nope, bad read to the other side.
Smith just doesn’t screw us, his timing is impeccable. He got our hopes up for a conference title appearance and boom. Going to make it a two score game and boom.
Much like Holtz I have a hard time believing these things are due simply to gross incompetence. But people will surprise you sometimes.Quote:

Bowl record for punts
Lucky bounce there.
If we win this, game ball goes to our Defense and Miami's Offense.
Not sure they can overturn that one.
Sure looks like he had possessionQuote:

In my defense I'm streaming the game from my in-laws farm. So I have about as good a view as any given cusa ref
Targeting penalty coming.
FYI this crew is Big 12 but also works MWC games.
1) take away our fumble recovery
2) call targeting
Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
The runner ducked his head. WTF is the defender supposed to do?
These rules are killing football.
That didn't look like targeting to me.
Yeah. The U has to win
Defender with head up would clearly not be targeting. Defender's head was lowered.Quote:

Again I say bullshit.
With wiggle room and it goes against us both times?
Don’t know if I’m watching a football game or The Longest Yard.
So this BORING game ends with a flagfest. Wonderful.
