Random "round about" information about the 2010 College football season with some familiar names.
-The 11 win VT team that beat FSU for the ACC Championship, was led by Tyrod Taylor. They were actually a top 5 caliber team, who lost to a top 5 caliber team in Boise State to open the season. VT also lost to #5 Stanford to close the season (bowl game).
-The Stanford team was led by Andrew Luck and Jim Harbaugh.
-The Boise St team was led by Kellen Moore, they finished the season 12-1. Their sole loss came to Nevada, who actually won 13 games that year....with Colin Kaepernick at QB.
-Nevada was 13-1...Their only loss came to Hawaii, who held Kaepernick/Nevada to their lowest scoring output that season....The Hawaii DC was Dave Aranda.
-2nd most points scored against Dave Aranda/Hawaii that year was Lane Kiffin (USC, Ed O was D-Line coach). The most against Aranda was Tulsa with Chad Morris as OC.
-Tulsa actually put up a ton of points that year on everyone, which led to Chad Morris getting hired by Dabo following the season.
-Tulsa opened up that season with a shootout against ECU, who's OC was Lincoln Riley.
-Tulsa also beat Notre Dame in 2010, which happened to be Brian Kelly's first year.
-This was the year that Miami ended up with Notre Dame in the Sun Bowl, which ultimately lead to us firing Randy Shannon after winning 7 games that year. (Wassup Al Golden?)
-Miami's high moment that year was a quality loss to #2 ranked Ohio State...We were actually up 10-3 early in the 2nd quarter before John Lovett's defense showed up, and Mark Whipple's offense stalled out. This was our last year having a top shelf OL coach, in Jeff Stoutland. Oh, and this was DVD's sophomore year. Luke Fickell was still at OSU this year.
-On the bright side of that Miami team...we managed to beat FAMU (yes, I needed a reason to bring up FAMU)
-2010 was the last year that FAMU beat Bethune Cookman...who would go on a 9 game winning streak against them....That win streak was finally broken this past (2021) season.
-2010 was also the last time that Miami beat Clemson...Can another Orange and Green break a losing streak?
-Also, to a point I mentioned above about Chad Morris, the person who got fired was Billy Napier (Clemson's OC in 2010). Clemson's DC was Kevin Steele.
-Clemson's 2010 team lost to USF in the bowl game. USF actually played 4 (Current) ACC teams that year and went 3-1 against them. Pitt and Louisville (Still in the Big East at this time) in addition to Miami.
-This was Dave Wannstedt's last year at Pitt before he got replaced by Todd Graham (Who hired Mike Norvell as his Co-OC).
-This was Charlie Strong's first year at Louisville.
-This was Jim Knowles first year at DC for a P5 school. Too bad they played Alabama, who dropped 62 on them with Jim McElwain as their OC.
-Nick Saban DIDN'T run this year, as they went 10-3. One of those losses being to the eventual BCS Champion in Auburn...Yes, Cam Newton's Auburn who spoiled Oregon's first appearance in a NC game. Oregon Tears.
