A&M comes out the chute and scores on the first play then Miami finds how to throw the forward pass and scores on its first possession. It looks like it may be a very good game. One of the things I noticed and appreciate is how both teams hand the ball to the ref and help each other up after knocking him down a minute before...Hey I know I sound boring but I love good old fashion football where the players respect each other and the refs..And yes this is coming from a Cane fan..

I agree with you RC. I'm not watching the game because I'm watching the Gators but I agree with your outlook. Miami 24-10 at the half.
Didn't see the game but it looks like Miami after the inital shock by A&M just took control. You guys are young but I wouldn't be suprised to see you in the ACC champ game. How about Wake beating FSU for the 3rd year in a row. Think FSU alums are very happy with Bobbah right now?
Congrats Ralph. Your guys took care of the ball, and mine didn't. That changed what looked to be a pretty good game into a snoozer. God I want some linebackers! I can't believe in a scant 5 years that moron Franchione could take a school rich in LB tradition, and leave it totally devoid of talent at the position. Oh... and did I mention that the whole defense is S L O W ? And there needs to be open try-outs for OL. I knew it would be rough with 4 new starters, but good lord... And it's not just that Miami's front is good (which the are) - New Mexico made us look bad as well. Ugh... I feel sorry for Jerrod Johnson. The kid looks to have the potential to be a really good QB, but we may never know since he NEVER gets an unmolested look down field... :x
Scott I was "REALLY" impressed with your young quarterback and he only got more poised as the game went on and ignored the pressure. I'm not quite sure if we started losing focus at the end of the game or if your QB was just getting going but give him another quarter and the score would have been closer with him throwing to your stud receiver. What kind of timeline will A&M give Mike Sherman? I imagine when these games were set up years ago the coordinators could not have imagined where our schools would be in this era... RC
I'm sure he'll get at least 4 years. Believe it or not, we have actually improved from week to week, but the level of competition has as well so it's not as apparent. I think with a couple of years of decent recruiting we'll be OK. We are just too woefully slow right now (as your kids showed!). Shannon definitely lifted off the gas after that flurry of scores got you to 41. I think we did play better, but your guys weren't coming as hard either.
