It seems every time Miami and Florida State get together, it comes down to the wire. Last night was no different. In what can best be described as a war of attrition, Miami squeaked a win out on the road against their upstate rivals. Miami was far from impressive, but either was Florida State. Both teams showed flashes of brilliance, but neither team looked like the could beat a top 10 team.
Here are a few of my observations from the game:
1. Jacory Harris, Miami's Sophomore QB, looked really good. He showed tremendous poise and I was quite impressed with his calm demeanor.
2. Too many UM players were cramping up. You practice in the sweltering heat of South Florida. You have to be prepared and hydrate your body.
3. Florida State has a lot of talent, but I question coaching.
4. UM is still a while away from being back, but it was a step in the right direction. They need more from their Offensive Line and their Special Teams cannot afford to cost them unnecessary yards.
5. This was a nice confidence boasting win, especially with Georgia Tech on National TV next Thursday, Oklahoma and Virginia Tech their next 3 games.
6. Randy Shannon is a good coach and a great guy and deserves an opportunity to rebuild the dynasty.
I am not a big College Football guy, at least not until they do away with the BcS and bring on a playoff, but games like this will keep me tuned in all season long.
