I respect you as a poster, and you're not being a homer. I know we like to think this b/c that's how propaganda works, but it's not really true, either.
Game 1.
Miami goes ahead 20-17. Miami gives up a 4 play 80 yard drive to UF and we lose 24-20.
Game 2.
Miami goes ahead 25-20. Miami gives up a 9 play 75 yard drive to UNC and we lose 28-25.
Game 5.
Miami comes back to tie game 35-35 against VT. Miami gives up 5 play 63 yard drive to VT and we lose 42-35
Game 7.
Miami is up 21-14 against GT. Miami gives up 6 play 80 yard drive to tie the game. We lose in OT.
Game 11.
Miami gives up scoring drives to FIU where their starting position was their 20, 18, and 11 yard line. (they had a couple of short fields, as well)
Game 13.
Miami gives up scoring drives to LA Tech of 13 plays, 91 yards (egregious), and 5 plays 56 yards (the back breaker)
Like I said, to go 6-7 and sub .500 over the past 2 years has been a team effort.
In game 1 that TD was scored with 8:18 left in the game. Our four possessions wrapped around that TD were fumble, missed FG, downs and downs.
In game 5 we turned the ball over SIX times, including our first four consecutive possessions.
In game 7 that GT touchdown was in the FIRST HALF, we completely shut them out in the second half. We also had the ball five more times, including three trips to the red zone and scored ZERO points.
In game 13 that La Tech TD was in the FIRST HALF. We possessed the ball TEN more times in that game and scored ZERO points
A TD scored in the first half isn't a comeback man. It's just a score. Making it seem like some time of defensive collapse is ridiculous.
