Someone needs to dial up a Perryman hit on that shoulder. Never will forgot that QB that talked trash and DP sent him out of the game early with a ferocious and legal hit.

Remember when yall wanted him?

I think in that situation it is to early to just bleed the clock. With 10 minutes left, they are still going to use the same offensive philosophy. If the box is stacked, pass the ball. If not, run the ball. I have no idea the defensive alignment on 2nd and 5, but I would bet the box was stacked. Cam doesn't help Dawson look good when he makes that terrible throw. On the other hand, if he hits the check down to Martinez suddenly it looks like a great call.

I don't see this team bleeding clock until 6 minute mark no matter what the defense is offering.

The other thing to consider is that the OC and QB are air raid to the very core.
Passing the ball will always be viewed as the most effective way to move the ball, regardless of situation.
And I like that we have an identity on offence, and sell out for it.

Buuut, it also means that going slow and bleeding clock is not really in the DNA. Could we run more? probably. Does JG score on that diamond fake screen in about 4 seconds, or X on the RPO in 6 seconds if we try and plod our way to a 7 point win?

Sell out for what you believe in

I feel like our defense, especially dline, responds better in games like this. Would be a great game for them to breakout and have a 6+ sack game. I’ve been waiting on some strip sacks too…

#4 needs to play like he played in the 2nd half against Duke. He needs to set the tone!

Listening to Brent Key presser he said Haynes is at practice but is day to day, said they are "hopeful".. Sounds like he is a go to me.

Also he was asked about us being 59% third down conversion (which is a crazy high number) but then he broke it down by quarters and said in first qtr we are 80% 2nd qtr to 30% and then third 75% and 71% in fourth

He’ll play.

 

[kccanefan]

I'm pretty confident King is going to play and Mario alluded to them anticipating him playing. Offense needs to perform like they did against Louisville.

This Haynes injury to his shoulder reminds me of TVD's with his shoulder.

Here are the precise moments where I felt we could run.

We're up 39-31 and we have surprisingly gotten Duke off the field on a 3 and out.

We have the ball at our 34 with 11:11 left. I'm thinking that maybe we can have a long, drawn out drive and kill clock and if we can extend lead to 46-31 with maybe 4-6 minutes left, we're in a good spot.

1st play pass to Brown for 20. So now we have 1st and 10 at Duke 46 with 10:35 left. We run Martinez who picks up 5. 2nd and 5 at Duke 41. I think we're looking good. Instead of 2 runs and relying on our bell cow who excels in these situations, we go pass on 2nd down and 3rd down is the INT. I think we could and should have run twice there and just bludgeoned them late.

Later, it's 53-31. Game is over. We get ball at Duke 35 and we go run, pass, pass, pass with the last one Ward getting drilled on backside for a fumble. Not sure why we were passing other than to pad Ward's Heisman campaign.

100%

The throwing shoulder and brain are connected. It's a well known fact.

Haven't read whole thread but here's a stat to keep in mind.

In five ACC games, Haynes King has thrown three touchdowns.

In five ACC games, Cam Ward has thrown 15 touchdowns.

You might say, but what about his legs? Yes, Haynes King can run. He's run for five TD's and Cam has run for two but caught one.

This isn't a debate as to who is better, but QB's score points and points win games. I'll take the guy with 18 TD's (106 points) in ACC play versus the guy with eight TDs (48 points). BIG ADVANTAGE: Miami

You might say, they are a running team, though. Yes, they are. They have eight rushing TD's by RB's in six games. We have nine in five games.
ADVANTAGE: Miami

Rushing yards per game: Tech averages 175 per. We average 182 per. ADVANTAGE: Miami

Yards per carry: Tech averages 4.8. We average 5.4. ADVANTAGE: Miami.

It won't be pretty at times, but numbers don't lie and we're not losing.

“In five ACC games, Haynes King has thrown three touchdowns.”

Allow me to translate:

Based on Duke’s performance, if Haynes King plays he will easily throw more TDs this Saturday than he has against all of the ACC teams he’s played to this point combined. Three to four TD passes, minimum.

We return to the mean at some point and one of these average at best passers does NOT have multiple TD passes.
