Russell Athletic Bowl: Miami vs 16 West Virginia

[Dingaan1828]

Nothing meaningless about this game. It's a chance to end on a high note, and finally win a damned bowl game.

This is about as good an opportunity as you could hope for.

Completely meaningless. Hope no one gets hurt in an exhibition game

bowl games are meaningful even if not national title games, they matter for 2 reasons. 1 kids get to have some fun, this is college not the pros after all, 2 the extra bowl practices u get when u go to a bowl allows you to get the young kids more practice and experience for next year.

bowl games are about pride also. pride to represent your school and your conference, winning this would give Miami momentum going into next year.

 

[NJshoreCane]

They're the highest ranked team of all the mentioned bowl opponents.
I'll take it.

They lost to OU and Okie St.
Beat BYU and K State.

How do we match up with WVU? Haven't seen them play all year?

Really good offense. Defense better be ready to play.

Their offense stinks. I take it you don't watch college football but just assume they have a great offense because Hologram is their coach.

I haven't seen them play this year, but I know they averaged around 33. Holgersen has a reputation as an offensive wunderkind. He did get Clemson to hire Venables.

Yea but their red zone O is below average believe it or not. That 33 ppg is top heavy if you ask me

I know we won't be getting the team that laid 70 on Clemson 3 years ago, but by reputation Holgorsen, with time, can get an offense ready.

I understand all of that. I really do,and believe I am not "trolling" or anything like that. The extra practice is good and everything. And travelling to a diff city for the kids can be fun. However. The NCAA, ESPN and the schools again are making money off these kids, in when it comes down to it an exhibition game. god forbid a great talent get seriously hurt and prevents making it big into the NFL. Lets just not make these games seem more important than they are. Cause they are not important.

I've watched them several times this year. They play in a conference that literally plays no defense at all, and they didn't even do all that well playing offense against those teams.

They were spotty all year long and mainly won because they played a little bit of defense in a conference that plays none. Their QB is erratic as ****. One minute he looks great then he can't do anything right.

Hologram is a very sharp guy though. I'd half expect him to install an almost entirely different offense than we've seen from them all year. The game means more to them than us because they're always trying to make inroads in recruiting down here. So I'd expect Hologram to go all out trying to embarrass us.

 

[tinman_96]

The tinmen are coming from upstate new york. all 3 of us. section 120 row A. go canes !

 

[jackedaround]

Scored only 2.4 ppg vs p5 more than us in an offensive conference.

[sfowler06]

As long as our offense puts up points, this will be an easy win. I have 100% faith in our defense and they haven't played a defense this physical in a few years. #skedit

It's college football. If a football player is so valuable that he can't risk himself by . . . Playing football, then why not find another, less dangerous, sport. How about ballroom dancing?

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Game plan destroys the qb

 

[streetja]

Will be a great test for Diaz and looking forward to seeing our offense redeem themselves in a big game.

And lmao at getting a better game than VT. Gotta love that Miami still has a brand name that allows these type of things to happen.

 

[mirednmediocrity2]

Absolutely HATE WVU. Hope we can beat them badly/

Offensive numbers should be inflated given that that conference plays no defense. Wondering if their defense is better than those number indicate though? Looks like they get to the QB.
