Some thoughts about this amazing game...
1. What the Clemson crowd did last week our crowd did this week. We even completely ripped off playing "Zombie Nation" before kickoffs. I wasn't at GT-UVA in 1998, but that was the best crowd I have ever seen on the flats. By my count, Wright had to call two timeouts and UM had a false start close to our student section, and those two timeouts became key later on.
2. Travis Bell, at least right now, you are a god and I wish you were my dad. Way to silent your critics with performance on the field!
3. We may have the best punt kicking unit in the whole damn nation. We had the ball on the one yard line with the Brooks in the very back of the endzone and Brooks punted 62 yards. That's gotta be up there in the longest punts in history from the one yard line.
4. 17 FOURTH QUARTER POINTS! Although he didn't look so hot for much of the game, Reggie started to look comfortable back there towards the end of the game. Hopefully he keeps it up on the road to the Orange Bowl.
5. Some great calls by Nix today, such as the Screens to Cox that worked out beautifully. The Calvin pass was great too and it was fun just to see that. I'm sure him and Gailey will get some grief on setting up for the field goal on the third and 19, but I can certainly understand the methadology. Giving Bell a straight kick probably meant more points on average than trying to throw it deep and risking an interception.
6. All in all, good job by the defense today. Considering how Miami beat us in TOP 11 minutes to 4 minutes in both the second and third quarter, they did great by holding Miami to nine offensive points for most of the game.
7. Speaking of that missed tackle, we've now had three games in a row with a big missed tackles towards the end. I can only consider these late missed tackles as part of our razor-thin depth at DB.
8. Kickoff returns...at least it didn't lose the game today. I've just accepted being happy with a return inside the 30 and being happy that we only gave up one big return today.
9. I'm sure BBBBuzzoff will go on and on about how we should have blown them out or how bad Miami is. Fact is, though, we are very, very likely to show up in JAX this year despite what they say.
10. Student section chanted "jailbirds" to the Miami section before the game. Classic!
Great, tough win today by the Yellow Jackets. Discounting the seven points we spotted Miami up front, we won this game by 14 points today and I'm very proud of them.
BEAT NC STATE!
