That was FSU who wasted all that time and then Miami called the TO. Horrible clock management by FSU, horrible pooch kick by Miami, great game though.

That drop/uncatch is going to hurt that guy for years.
Great Game, instant classic.

Miami called the timeout, not FSU. However, that was some bad clock management that cost FSU at the end. |

Miami started to sub players after (or was late too get all of its players on the field) FSU did (hence why Miami called the TO). Last edited by Galaxy : 09-07-2009 at 10:56 PM. |

Yeah WTF was FSU doing letting 30+ seconds run off the clock? Too cocky, and it killed them.

I know the officials like to run the clock and not put time back on the clock, but it sure looked like that pass was incomplete with 1 second left on the replay. Seems like FSU should have had another down with 1 second left on the clock.

Very proud of the Canes tonight. We still have some things to work on though.

I thought more time ran off the clock when FSU called their last TO. The home clock operator slipped on that one.

Possible. I know that in basketball a violation doesn't occur until the whistle blows (so they guy could have taken five steps, but until the ref stops the play, the clock still rolls). I don't know how it works with football replay. But, it was apparent that the refs took a second or two to rule the incompletion (they had to see the ball on the turf). |

It seems really stupid to have Bobby Bowden out there pretending to be a head coach just so he can rack up more wins for his total. Everyone can tell he's not "coaching" a damn thing.

Very disappointed by this game. I am convince Florida State is cursed against Miami and until Bobby along with his defensive staff leave we will not be elite ever again. That defensive performance was down right disgracefully and Mickey Andrews should be ashamed considering he use to be one of the best in the business.
I take nothing away from Miami because they went up to Tallahassee and won the game. Harris is cool, calm and collected just the way I remember him when he played at Miami Northwestern. They made the plays they had to make and won. I am not even angry or sad, I am just disappointed but not surprised because Florida State always finds a way to blow it against Miami.(As well as other good teams, Wake especially) Great Game Canes. My phone is officially off because it has not stopped ringing or buzzing from the texts.

ever since i witnessed the wide right and wide left, I do feel that FSU is cursed. Miami often seems to find a way to win vs the Noles (esp. when the Noles were ranked higher) and the way they won are always just by the edge and funky, though I have nothing to complain since I wear orange and green ![]() but UM-FSU games have always been exciting and close, whether they were in top 10 or not. |

BTW, the ESPN Clock is UNOFFICIAL and not tied into the game clock etcetera, so claims that there should still have been a second left on the clock are.. misguided.

I was really impressed with him last year and coming out of HS. Despite actually having decent measurables (speed, height, arm strength) I feel like he was underrated and just one of those QB's that wins ballgames. Having Mark Whipple as OC appeared to help immeasurably as well. That guy knows what he's doing.That was a hilarious injury. Get some better fitting pants.

Great finish to Week 1. Next week doesn't have a ton of great matchups on paper, but enough to keep my attention. Clemson-GT to start on Thursday, 2 intriguing 3:30 matchups in rejuvenated teams ND-Michigan and a possible offensive showcase in Houston-OK St, and nightcaps of SC-Georgia and USC-Ohio St. |

Not much to say about the shit effort Rutgers put up yesterday. To see the defense get completely dominated was a disgrace. I have no idea why we were playing so far off the LOS, leaving guys open for 7 yards in the middle of the field before even trying to cover. Same for why we tried matching their no-huddle offense, when that's not our style and our defense was getting pushed around. You really want to get a beaten D back out there quicker?
Nothing was thrown downfield on offense, it was all curls with the occassional crossing route by Tim Brown. And a talented couple of RBs with a good blocking line saw pretty much all their opportunities come out of the shotgun. Just a complete, complete disaster. That being said, despite being hungover, tired, and just sick of college football after coming back from the stadium...I still stayed up and watched the end of the FSU-Miami game. It didn't take long for me to get over being sick of it. Greg Reid was just ridiculous. I'm trying to think of a more impressive debut by a true defensive freshman. |

That was the most entertaining ACC game I've watched in a long time. I know the conference struggled over the first weekened pretty horribly, but maybe that FSU-Miami game is kind of a sign of the "dead QB" era in the ACC is ending. It seems like all of the ACC games over the past few years have been 13-10 type games with a lot of horrible execution on offense. The only decent QB I can think of in the last 3 or 4 years was Matt Ryan at BC, and truthfully, he didn't have much at WR.

This is comedy gold. And the game was great, Cameron outcoached Fisher by a hair. Well played by both sides, and the QB's looked great. I am excited to see the U slowly rise back to the forefront.

Glad to see Ohio state drop after that pitiful display. Also glad to see Cincinnati, they played great yesterday and deserved it.

I am not an Ohio State fan by any means, but I still think they are the team to beat in the Big Ten. The Buckeye team you saw last Saturday will be totally different than the one you see this Saturday. They didn't want to show anything, plus defending Navy's unorthodox offense isn't simple, especially when the Midshipmen had all spring/summer to gameplan. Typically the Buckeyes start out slow. Now i must go vomit for defending them |

LSU should have dropped in the polls after that anemic performance against Washington, but I guess the game was so late that many missed it. Tigers have a chance to prove they are a top 10 team with an improved performance against Vandy this weekend.

Wow, I am shocked of the big jump for BYU...
I didn't expect it...I was thinking if we could win Tulane and FSU we would get to where we are now in the AP. Not complaining...but hate having that bullseye on our back for the rest of the season.

Just wanted to echo what a great game the Miami-FSU game was. It's nice to see both schools (especially the U) back in relevance!

Wouldn't BYU have that bullseye on them as long as they were undefeated? It's a great thing for them that now they can win out and be assured of a BCS bowl, and might even have an outside chance with 1 loss. (Or, assuming perfect disaster strikes, a very outside shot at the title game now.)

I think UW right now looks like ~.500 team, with the possibility of being a little bit better or worse. But LSU should look much better against a .500 team than that, based on the talent levels. Too many mis-tackles, poor blocking on offense, ect ect. |

Yeah, probably true. I think there's no question LSU got UW's best effort. As much as you guys were disappointed with last years' 8-5, I don't think LSU's motivation level could've been as high as the UW's, and that, plus the home atmosphere help explain the closeness of the game.

Yeah, but with the MWC when the top 3 play the other teams it is basically their bowl game and then you add in the rankings and it turns into a tougher game than it usually is. But they can win out, with FSU, Utah and TCU all at home it helps a lot.

BYU would probably be in the BCS title game, but I have my doubts BSU would - I don't think their SOS will be good enough to boost them past a BCS conference 1-loss team, especially if it's a traditional power like Florida or USC.

Yeah, I'd think BYU would have the edge. Especially since they took down Oklahoma while Boise took down Oregon.

BYU vs. BSU would be excellent. Too bad college football is so fucked up that it won't happen.

Jut the opposite. A title game like that would confirm that college football is all fucked up. I'm all for letting the smaller conference schools into the picture via a playoff, but determining that those two teams were #1 and #2 would be a disaster for college football. The only good part would be that it would likely mean the end of the BCS. |

Plus BYU still has Florida State to play and plays in the Mountain West Conference with quality teams like TCU and Utah. Looking at the remaining schedule for Boise State their best team remaining is...Nevada? Fresno State? I would say BYU has a huge edge here, plus I'm guessing that Oregon win isn't going to look so good at the end of the season. |

Two things: 1) I never said these two teams were/are #1 and #2 2) College football is fucked up because of many reasons, including the greed of the big conferences and the good 'ol boys in power. I completely understand why this is so, and have no real problems with it except that I think programs like BSU, TCU, BYU, and others should have a chance at proving themselves against other top programs. On the other hand, the BCS is a complete joke.

Credit to Boise as well for scheduling Oregon, but that's not quite as impressive as Oklahoma, and given they are in the WAC, they could use as many impressive OOC opponents as they can get. Strength of schedule matters. |
