Parker and Dyer

[Cane01]

Check the boxscore from the Bowl game. We held them to 107 yards on 31 carries. 3.5 per carry ( Pretty good considering last years run D). Not bad. If you take away Perry's 27 yard run it's 30 carries for 80 yards, 2.6 per carry. Their line didn't really create a push in the bowl game but they were pretty good in pass pro (not saying much against last years pass rush). Teddy helped them out with his movement and escapability too. Gardner is nowhere near as mobile.

If we can't handle this O with the losses of Bridgewater, Perry, Dyer, Parker and Copeland it will be a long year in that side of the ball. This is a first time starter with out a solid run game to fall back on.

Dyer is the type of physical back that has absolutely torched us in the past. Our tackling deficiencies have killed us facing guys like him. Would be huge. We basically played them without Duke and Coley last year so tough ****

If Dyer can't go their next back up is Dominique Brown ........who is 6'2 240 lbs

Dyer is #2. Brown is the starter. He is more physical than Dyer, but tends to run upright. #3 is also a big physical back, who impressed in the spring. The only burner they have in the backfield is Lamb, who is at #5. I'd expect him to catch a few out of the backfield.

#3, is that Radcliff from Columbus H.S. in Miami?

We all scared about what the defense will do and legitimately so. I'm gonna be as nervous as a impala at a Croc filled waterhole until I see the defense flying around wrecking ****. Then I think we a lot better across the board defensively. I won't be able to handle a loss!

In order to be successful, the offensive line will need to show up. In the end it will be a total team effort.

#3 is the freshman, Scott. Radcliff is at #4.

And here comes the D'Onofrio sucks brigade!

Can't will argee that this game is a big time test for D'Onofrio?

Year 4
First Start ever for QB
Multiple playmakers injuired for UL
Not returning best player who torched us last year


If Doritos can't hold a team like this under 500 yards the question is why is he still employed has to be asked right?

Everyone knows the defense sucked in the past. It's a tired and beat to death topic. If it doesn't improve dramatically, then everyone associated with the defense should get rung up. How many times and in how many preseason threads does it need to be mentioned though? If we suck again, then let's address the sucking while we're sucking.

It's been harped on enough to this point that everyone associated in any way with being a UM fan knows our defense has sucked under Al. What good does it do to keep hammering it in every thread before the season even starts?

It gets them reps which makes them feel good about themselves

Quite Frankly I bring it up cause I don't think Doritos job is in question. I feel even if the Defense is ranked 70th Al Golden will try and sell (116,82,70) to powers that be. If the defense is not top 50 I feel its a no brainer then something HAS to be done.

Agree, you can only beat the team they put out there.

What if he tightens up and only allows 450?

Considering their injuries and considering our improvements on defense, I think a reasonable goal is to hold then to 23 points.

 

[INCaneFan]

Don't worry. They have will have new offensive stars come Monday. A few heisman candidates will emerge.

LOL

No matter which side of the fence you're on with regards to our DC, that's a Damon funny post.

 

[Biscuits]

I ******* hate that their injury report matters. Hate. It.

 

[miamifan007]

I can not believe Dyer is still in college football. Feels like Coker was still our coach when that dude was running all over Oregon.

This. ************ has had some rough patches.

 

[OBLIVION]

Brown is a scrub back and Dyer hasn't been a thought in anyone's mind since he ****ed himself up at Auburn.

No disrespect but this post is ridiculous. The game isn't won by how many yards you allow on the ground, it is a small part of the overall picture.

All 36 points were scored on offense. 447 Passing Yards allowed.

This is like bragging that we saved some deck chairs before the titanic went down.

Funny part is once the 4th quarter started (29-2 UL), they ran the ball 11 times. They ran 31 times during the WHOLE game and 35% of them were in the 4th quarter when the game was well over.
