On this date in 2014....

Ha! FSU fan I know called that the watch Dwyer run 50 yards play. :rotfl:

But yeah, that Cuse game was a whoppin'. They literally looked as if they had never seen an option play before.
and also our last shutout of a FBS team, IIRC.
 
Reminds me of one of the Miami boards after they lost to us. They had still shots of the defenders blocking each other. One of them was on his head with no one around him on one play. Hilarious stuff.

Yeah, I had one of those printed out on my office door. We were running a TD play and had a lead blocker with nobody near him captioned “I literally have nobody to block.”

This popped up in my Google photos. 8 years ago.

Most memorable play was when our punter ran the fake punt and got body slammed by the Miami player after getting the first down.

A Miami fans butthurt analysis of 'Da U's' defense on the 4th and 2 where GT went up 28-17, putting the game away.

The mesh was perfect on this play, the entire D thought Thomas handed the ball off, instead JT5 made the correct read for an easy TD.

IMO, we should always have some flexbone plays in our repertoire. It would make a hell of a change up to throw teams off balance. Even if you did it with a wildcat QB package
 
"Blocking below the waist
The panel approved a proposal to improve safety and simplify the rules governing blocking below the waist. The proposal will allow blocking below the waist only by linemen and stationary backs inside the tackle box. Outside the tackle box on scrimmage plays, blocking below the waist will be prohibited."

I never bought the safety bs for the rules changes. That was just a pretext for “simplifying” the rules to make it easier for the coaches that hated facing the 3O. It is what it is though. The masses prefer OL that block like statues and QBs that stand in the pocket like statues. And god help a defender that hits a QB running with the ball right as he begins to start a slide. Too often that gets a flag which is just more pansification of football.

I liked football more before the rules got so soft. Reggie gets a lot of hate but I’ll always love the guy for the way he’d truck defenders. He was never the physical beast Nesbit was but he was a tough QB and I don’t think I ever saw him slide to avoid a hit.
 
This was a fun game to be at. My first and only time storming the field. Can’t say the win deserved a storming, but I was right next to the student section and it was always a dream to do it.

I didn’t hesitate to join in lol

I mean we hadn't beaten Miami since 2008, and the win got us to 5-0, so I'd say it was justified haha
