Igetbored216 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have been watching Miami in the last few games they have been in and they look legit. Their offense moves the ball well and their defense is very fast and disciplined. Miami will probably win this one by at least two TDs. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I grudgingly agree. I would rather see VaTech win however because A) it makes our loss much more bearable and B) I despise "The U". Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 VT barely survived against us. just imagine what will happen when they run into a team like Miami Quote Link to comment
Yellowjacketfan Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Miami is a far superior team. They have a competent QB ... actually, much more than competent, probably top 10 in the nation if you ask me. I will go out on a limb and say VT will end the season unranked ... that is how overrated I think they are. Wouldn't be surprised if we (GT) beat them by 10+ points. I'm calling a 21 point Miami win even after they remove starters in the 4th. Quote Link to comment

The honeymoon is over. Teams have figured the offense out. Yes, you beat my Tigers, but it wasn't because of the offensive performance. Quote Link to comment

SOCALHUSKER Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on VA Tech!! Getting 3 points and in Blacksburg almost makes it a lock!! Sure, Miami's offense has looked good, but only because the teams they have played have had, at best, mediocre defense. Florida State looked lost in week 1, though after BYU they may have turned it around, and did anybody watch the GA-Tech game? Not only was their "D" winded the entire game but they tackled horribly and were constantly out of position. It almost looked like Cosgrove might be calling the plays. That being said, I would hardly call VA Tech's "D" mediocre and as much as they harassed Lee, at least Helu was somewhat successful and helped alleviate some of the pressure. Miami's running game is hardly spectacular and it's guaranteed Harris will be under at least some pressure. While Harris' yardage and completion percentage look great, I'd hardly say that completing screens and short crossing routes for big gains qualifies him as a top 10 QB. That's like saying Phillip Rivers is a badass because he tosses a 3 yard screen to Sproles, who then springs it for 85 yards. It’s just not true. Seriously, Harrison Beck would be great if that's all that is required to be a top 10 QB. I'd say the credit belongs to the receiver and the blockers, not the QB. Then again, maybe he is really that good just as some would have you believe about Rivers, but saying top 10 based upon the first couple of games performance I'd say is a slightly premature assumption. We'll see though!! And as far as Miami’s “D,” yeah they look decent and fast, but I think VA Tech is a little bit more balanced then the two teams they have previously played. The Hokies might not be the best throwing team, but they will run and can throw when they have to, just as we found out. Between Miami’s first two opponents, FSU was a little pass happy, throwing the ball about 40 times, and Georgia Tech was exactly the opposite. Being one-dimensional plays right into Miami’s speed, allowing them to pin back their ears and fly to the ball. Not exactly a recipe for offensive success if you’re looking to put up some points. Overall, it should be a great game, fairly low scoring and eerily similar to how the Husker game played out. I’ll take the points and the under except that this time my money’s on VA Tech.

T_O_Bull Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hey, SOCAL, who is this Cosgrove you speak of? T_O_B Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 That would be great if VT won. It would make us look pretty good, however, I just don't see this one being close. Quote Link to comment
SOCALHUSKER Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hey, SOCAL, who is this Cosgrove you speak of? T_O_B Only some dipsh@t who thinks he can coach defense!! He's been known to wreck and dismantle a few working defenses and is currently working on demolishing a Minnesota team before they can even become good. Good luck to the Gophers!!

Besides Miami's two wins, what makes you say that? Are you buying into the Jacory Harris hype? Or do you think VA Tech is that bad? Quote Link to comment

Or do you think VA Tech is that bad? I think Harris is a great QB; but I wouldn't put him in the top 10 QBs. The offense is solid, but I am more impressed with how the D plays. I was very unimpressed with Taylor and very unimpressed with the VT offense. The D is pretty good, but their rush defense isn't anything to get too excited about. So I would have to say it's a mixture of me thinking VT isn't as good as advertised, and Miami being a real good football team. Quote Link to comment
LouisianaHuskerFan Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 War Virginia Tech in this game. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Awesome, Tech is trashing Miami. The weather looks like about what I have 100 or so miles to the north, 50s, rainy, windy, foggy. Quote Link to comment
