Whenever those sports analysts said that "the offense wouldn't work against teams that prepared for it", I got extremely pissed and couldn't wait to shut them up...
well?
After three games of mediocre play, I'm starting to wonder if they're right. The defense is making our team look TERRIBLE, especially the secondary. I know we've got Butler, Terrant, and Burnett, but Miami seemed to always throw to guys WIDE open, and the line got next-to-no penetration. There was one play on a reverse where we ALMOST got a tackle-for-loss of maybe 10, then he ran for the first down...
But the offense... guys, I'm terrified. The blocking is terrible. The play where Roddy got "scorpioned" (his face plant into the dirt with feet curled over), that Miami player was the ONLY defender there. I'm sure it would have been a TD had Anthony Allen made that block.. And Miami stuffed the middle every play, Nesbitt was always being flushed out, and all the defenders rushed to the sidelines on option plays. Thats something I saw both at Clemson and now Miami... who's to say every team we face won't do the same?
as for Kevin Cone? Practice team. The kid got 2 block-in-the-backs, one on a 20 yard gain, the other on a touchdown by Roddy Jones. No excuse.
This was a horrible game, but I already knew the outcome would be. I think UNC will be our "measuring stick" matchup to see if we really are going to buckle down and do well this year.
