Here is what their QB did in the UL spring game: 32-of-37 passes for 542 yards and four touchdowns

All of this after Petrino had been there only a few months. We are going up against one of the best college football minds/coaches of this generation. If he doesn't chase the NFL dream and stays in college I believe he would have had at least one mnc by now. Unfortunately for him, his character hasn't really allowed a top school to take a chance on him.

We need to have 15 or so guys play disciplined yet aggressive on defense and a QB that can just distribute, be efficient, and make the defense pay when the opportunity presents its self. If that can happen, we'll have a chance to win a game in front of a tough crowd. If not, the result won't be much different than the bowl game.

Against their 2nd string defense... By the way name me the last really good Petrino defense? This game will be all about ball control and eating the clock up while scoring every chance we get. Keep the ball out of their hands and we win going away.

I don't care if they were running 7 on 7…32-37 for 542 and 4 TD's is impressive in a spring game where the offense is vanilla. I think that speaks more to their offense's ability than how poor the defense is. Point is, really good QB's perform in spring games, bad ones don't.

Talent has nothing to do with us losing or not. Only FSU has more talent than us in the ACC. Maybe Clemson might have more, but that's it. Now the real question is how you use that talent, and that's what really matters, that's why Duke won the Coastal last year. It wasn't because they had talent.

Think long and hard before you say winning/losing is all to do with coaching. Here's David Cutcliffe's complete record as a head coach.



1999 Ole Miss 8–4
2000 Ole Miss 7–5
2001 Ole Miss 7–4
2002 Ole Miss 7–6
2003 Ole Miss 10–3
2004 Ole Miss 4–7
2008 Duke 4–8
2009 Duke 5–7
2010 Duke 3–9
2011 Duke 3–9
2012 Duke 6–7
2013 Duke 10–4


Heck of a coach, but it's not like he just learned to coach this season...

Not exactly sure what point you are trying to prove. Duke went 10-4 last year (including a victory against us) with way less talent than we had. We had the talent last year. We have even more talent this year, that is not the issue; and in Miami it never should be.

Well, in 9 out of his 12 years as a head coach, Cutcliffe has won fewer games than Miami did last year.

They still had better coaching last year, and with half as much talent. No matter what way you look at it we have more pure talent than anyone else other than FSU.

Why do we keep talking about UL?? It's a totally different team. Different coaching staff, different QB...like seriously, it's a different team. We gotta forget about last yr. We weren't even healthy and we were one dimensional. Now we're going to boast a 2 maybe 3 headed monster depending on Yearby's health. We're going to boast a top notch receiving core...and I truly feel now that Shannon's left overs are gone, the D will improve...not drastically, but significantly.

Last year never happened as far as I'm concerned. Older, more experienced players. Some new, needed talents like Wyche. You gotta believe that coach D's defense is gonna work this year

Definitely a four-headed monster. Don't forget Crow.

I think now that Golden is going in hand-on, the D will improve significantly. After all, he's the real Defensive Guru here.

Absolutely. And he's going to delegate better this year too.

I think that's what was holding us back before from playing for the National Championship. Good. He's on the job!

I just wanted to fit in.

You don't want me to regress, now, do you? Cause regression is contagious.

Golden has an advantage on most head coaches,he can call Al Groh anytime he wants and get mentored on running a top defense.

He has the advantage of having run a top defense at Temple.

I am a student, and I'm not moping. I was just stating facts. I know we have more talent than anybody except for FSU. It isn't hard to see. I think we will win every game except maybe UL, FSU, and Nebraska. I have high expectations for this season and am confident we meet those expectations. ****, I'm even pretty hopeful about the defense. But I'm not blind, and I can see that Onofrio has sucked, and we were out coached last year. This year will be different though. We're going to win the games we should win, like Duke, and win the Coastal.

One fact is, Miami had 14 total rushing yards in the bowl game, I think we get over two hundred yards rushing this time around with Duke getting much of it. Their QB won't be hitting on a 35 for 45 clip like TB did either. They had zero turnovers, anyone think that happens this game? They played a perfect game, we had no running game and a qb that couldn't do anything. I like our chances.

We have superior talent when compared to Louisville.

We can't lose.

They were daring us to pass and we just couldnt make them pay.
