We understand your a mid level ACC team, but that is exactly the same caliber as most of our remaining schedule. We won. We will improve as we move on to some of the tougher games. Too bad you feel your team will do the opposite. #Miamiproblems

We don't give a sh#t. We hate Miami, always have hated Miami, and were given plenty of reason to keep hating Miami for decades to come last night.
Miami could go 0-12 and we'd act the same way. You deserve it.

I didn't mean to understate how good Ameer is, he is REALLY good. I didn't explain my point very well, but despite how great Ameer is, Randy Gregory is probably on par with him for his importance to our defense & and I know a lot of people will probably disagree, because Randy won't get all the awards Suh has, but there is a reason he is gonna be a top 5ish pick, but he belongs up there with Suh and Ameer, as the cream of the crop, in the last 10 years or so.
Also, agree with you, but I think you saw that our secondary is no joke, especially Kalu/Gerry/Mitchell/Davie/Rose... As I mentioned before the game, wasn't concerned with their WRs, but their RBs, thought they'd try and get Duke matched up with Cooper/Bando/Santos all game and target that, which they did a little bit but KUDOS TO SANTOS for stepping up (and I've been mighty critical of him, as well).
Side note: Corey Cooper, certainly knows what he is doing, but man he takes some questionable angles and he is slow. Banderas slow.

Scapegoat? I wonder if Bo Pelini and Papuchis think he is the scapegoat too, because they benched his a$$ for a reason. Also, ironic you speak of Gerry not wrapping up 3 times, because Banderas either A) completely misses the tackle B) is too slow to catch the guy to tackle, or C) doesn't wrap up. He might be the worst tackling linebacker we have at this point. At least Gerry is decisive and wants to hit someone asap. Bando literally hits nothing but air half the time he tries to tackle.BlitzFirst said:
He isn't tthe only one who missed assignments, nor will he ever be the only one, but boy he did NOT have a good game at all. At. All. And the coaches reflected that by playing Roach.
Gerry played a helluva game after being chewed out by Bo, anyhow. Cockrell struggled - which is why I say Kalu is probably gonna be the starter soon.

What is Kalu currently? The Dime?

Oh, I don't think we beat a great team. Miami is probably a couple notches below McNeese State.
That said, it was pretty satisfying given the smack that Miami players were talking leading up to the game. Miami isn't very good . . . but they sure thought that they were before we ran all over them.
Why do you care? Fact is: We won, you lost. Physically dominated your criminal canes. You're still Thug U, nothings changed, never will.

Correct. I think it's still technically "peso" because he has more run responsibility as well/sets an edge on run blitzes as well.
And just saw the thread calling out Randy Gregory LOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

We understand Miami as a team is average, but they have great talent. Top 10 talent. Talent that at any point can erupt and go off. Not consistent, well-coached, well-prepared. Strictly raw talent. Miami is a team that will compete with anyone in the country no matter what. They will win some, they will lose some(due to lack of playing as a team). But it isn't because they don't have the talent. These are the teams that have that one big win against a top level team in a year then go back into their shell. That's why this is a great win.

I don't know about the best ever. If I was going to pick one running back at Nebraska as the best of all time, I would certainly have to consider Ameer Abdullah right along side guys like Mike Rozier, Roger Craig, Ahman Green, and Jeff Kinney, just to name a few.

Or even the 3 that they scored as a result of a bullsh#t penalty count either. Yeah, we gave up 21 points, not the 31 that the scoreboard shows. Your offensive game planning was pretty good, and Kaaya will be a great QB for the U. Could be really good this time next year.

last night was great. it is getting harder to remain cautiously optimistic. but we will learn the most about this team in east lansing.
we got punched in the mouth and punched back instead of wilt. that was probably my best takeaway from the game. and it was a whole team win, which is also exciting. and a complete game. all good things.
