historically, 87 and 88 will always be tops because of what was at stake( national title runs) but I think for Al Golden( who I dont believe had won a game as a road dog) this was incredibly important. Today, just a few weeks after laying down in the Lil Apple, was badly needed. It was validation for many of the things Golden speaks off and today was what U-Tough is all about.
UM got off the canvas like Diego Corrales in the 10th rd vs Jose Luis Castillo.
As Mike Ditka would say- WE BECAME A TEAM!!! WE BECAME A TEAM!!!
No, Miami is winning any titles this year, but make no doubt about it, wins like this are the foundation for any regime( Butch had UCLA in 98) and for all the hard work and talk of the process, tangible results are needed. Today at Bobby Dodd, something special may have happened. The kids never, ever gave up and kept punching.
A few random thoughts:
- I really like Stephen Morris's intangibles and his demeanor. But geez, he will tease and tantilize you because for all his arm strength, his accuracy will frustrate you to no end. But the kid kept fighting and made some throws. But lets hope he can be a bit steadier moving forward
- Davon Johnson, what's that saying,'next man up?'Well today, he was huge and he may have found a role as a slot WR. Something we haven't had since Pimp Collier
- Chickillo, was great, his motor was running all day.
- Loved seeing the emotion of our guys, they acted like a group of young men who cared about today and the U, not NFL U and their futures
- So much more to say, but quite frankly, I'm breathless!!!
