Josh Pate Speaking Facts on Miami's loss to GT (11/10)

Considering most of this website had us winning 7 or 8 games in total I'm genuinely amused by the Baker Acting I've seen.

Fanbase is basura.

You mean the non-FG attempt when Miami was down by 12 in the late 3rd quarter. They should have kicked it to make a two-score game stay a two-score game?

Also, Miami went for two only once, not twice.

Y'all gotta stop this ****. The calls were the right calls. We have the #1 offense in America and a poor defense. You're not winning games with field goals.

If the first have FG was made the second half FG would have made it a 6 point game. The late TD would have given us the lead. Its a cumulation of things. Not just one by itself.

Very fair characterization on the Miami-GT game and where we stand moving forward - Pate still thinks we win the ACC, but not good enough to compete/win for a national championship.

Pretty accurate. I hope we can win the acc. The defense has me very concerned though.

He’s generally fair. I’ve said before that anyone thinking we had a serious chance at winning a Natty this year was delusional. Winning the ACC, finally, and getting into the playoff was the goal.

Agreed.

We are good team. At times a very good team. Nonetheless we have glaring D weaknesses and if/when our offense struggles...
Then, things like GT happen.
We were due for a close game that we would lose. Hopefully this loss motivates everyone to step it up for the final run.

Btw, this team reminds me a little of the Dolphins under Marino in the late 80's. D is pretty good but heavy reliance on the QB play to win games.
 
Wake is bad enough that we can win a close one. Syracuse has me worried as heck. Thanksgiving weekend. Good offense. Will be either a shootout or we come out slow and they score a bunch
 
The good thing on Syracuse is McCord is a statue.

This would be the one game to just let the ends pin their ears back and go get him. If he scambles he isnt making it far. So no stunts or getting cute. Make McCord have to move a bit and he becomes an Int/poor decision machine.

You can't play the butterfly effect in football. He went for it on 4th and 3 in the first half. IMO it was aggressive, and correct. I'm not playing for field goals with the #1 offense in the country. With Cam Ward, I'm pressing the gas pedal down. Mario has been uber aggressive all year, and I commend him for it. I'm not going to play Monday Morning Quarterback on this one.

If we "win a close one" against Wake, then sell your ACC Championship tickets, if you have them. Because we're either not getting there, or we're getting pasted if we do.

We're not going to win a close one against Wake. We're going to score 45+ points and win by multiple scores.

Agree with the first part, the second part not so sure of anymore.
