Pop-Tarts Bowl: Canes vs Iowa State Cyclones 12-28-24

[Alex_Dynamix]

I hate to be this negative but we are going to be average at best next year. Not much to look forward to.

If Emory is the QB we will most likely be worst then average

 

[Tinman64]

Next season is under .500 with Emory

 

[Tracy724]

He went 5/14 for 26 yards….who is to blame other himself??

The staff for believing he can be a starter here. He didn’t recruit himself to UM. Of course he sucked, not saying otherwise. But we were running all over them, then stopped. We’d probably lose force feeding the two RBs regardless.

 

[TallyCane]

If he hadn’t played we’d of lost by 40

We LOST ANYWAY!

 

[Cajuncane]

Over/under for wins in 2025 = 5 ?

If Emory is the QB I’m going under..

 

[Groz73Cane]

Anyone wanna talk about the Elephant in the room?? These Cucks gotta know in the back of their Pea Brains, that if Cam played they are a roasted Pop Tart. What a bunch of schmucks. I’d be embarrassed to accept the award or give it to Emory. Bottom line he ain’t it, move forward and get a QB.

P.S. this was my conundrum. 11wins verses the future. Mario did what he was supposed to do. Played Cam, who ruined the 4th best pass defense, shredded them. He let them know we will crush you in the 2nd half offensively. He sent the message. Then he played the future. He sent the message, it’s not Emery. There will be a new QB from the portal. He got what he needed to know.

Two games in a row Mario relying on the defense

Should’ve kept running the ball.

The 2nd down throw from the 3 when you were killing them combined with putting in Jordan Lyle the RB instead of Fletcher or Martinez was a repeat of Syracuse. Game changed when Lyle was chosen to decide a drive.

Mario is going to Mario.

 

[YankeesCane]

Im sure already mentioned but;

How and why did Mario yet again kick the FG? A TD there and its 45-35, game over. The running game was dominant but they decided to throw, kick a FG, an then the next drive tried to throw and they punted. Terrible management

Emory is not good. The game moves too fast, average at best tools

Dont give the Dorsey comp please. Dorsey is way better than Emory ever wll be

 

[PIPO]

I'm really hoping he has a plan. The whole the coaching staff loves Emory is BS just based on how conservative we were on playcalling. They don't trust him to throw downfield and watching Emory on that last drive I totally get it. He can't throw, his accuracy is just as bad against FSU. So whose this new QB? We better get one

 

[GeorgiaHurricane]

Cam is getting killed on social media for "refusing to play" the second half. By all kinds of people... One quarter of Emory was enough

NFL execs don’t care what people on social media say

Same reason he kicked one against Syracuse…he’s Mario.

 

[DPCane]

They didn’t even try to get him in a rhythm. Retarded.

Then ask him to go on a game winning drive. I swear Mario just sits in his office and thinks of new ways to lose

 

[anr96]

The people that previously used the Clemson win as an indicator that Emory is the future, clearly did not watch that game close enough. Same goes for FSU. And of course tonight just further demonstrated that he isn't the answer (and having Restrepo or Horton out there wouldn't have changed that).

 

[Cane18]

Bro...Emory couldn't even get that ball to the end zone

Get a QB from the portal QUICKLY

The portal is closed.

Portal is not closed.

Players cannot enter the portal after Dec 28. The portal reopens April 16 for 10 days.

Players on playoff teams or Bowl teams will have an additional window of 5 days after their season comes to an end.

Almost all the best portal players are gone at this point, especially at the QB position.

 

[YankeesCane]

Luke with no experience > Emory next season

 

[Cylo]

We LOST ANYWAY!

lol but I rather lose 42-41 then 42-6. Are you kidding me? We would have heard about that all offseason.

 

[Hurricajun]

I’m upset we lost but we lead with the “starters”. We saw the gawd and what he can do. Bring in 2 qb transfers with actual experience in p4. Judd can be your practice guy and nickel can learn to be a pro from the 2 guys you bring in. Emory can go to Bethune or similar and work on his skill set.

 

[Atom Atlas]

Mario needs to do some soul searching.... Next season is the halfway point in the "Hire" that would fix canes football... You don't wanna fail at home... I mean this what you truly fight for as a Coach.... I'm a Dude on the couch so I won't sit here and say I know the answer, I don't......I just know it has to be fixed....

Then this is on Mario for a terrible roster

I hate to say it, but with Emory we are FSU next year (~2-10).
