Random thoughts on Miami/FAMU 2006

I’m not going to spend much time blogging about this game here. I’m glad Miami worked FAMU to the tune of, 51-10… though I am still frustrated we gave up 10 points to the mighty Rattlers.

I didn’t get to take in this entire game as ESPN opted out of GamePlan and threw it on ESPN360. I have a 60″ plasma HDTV, surround sound and a slew of games on. As much as I love my Canes, I am not going to watch this dog of a game on a computer screen when we have #1 and #2 going toe to toe tonigth – as well as a slew of other stellar match ups.

From what I saw, the running backs looked good. Even ol’ Derron Thomas got 100+ yards as the fourth string back. That said, this was FAMU.

Charlie Jones got his two touchdowns and Javarris James was turning heads with his elusiveness and natural ability. Again, this was FAMU. We needed that running game five nights ago against Florida State.

Tyrone Moss saw his first action since the Virginia Tech win last year, so that’s definitely a plus. Glad to have the big man back and I’m sure the 20-yard touchdown run helped his confidence. We’re really going to need his blocking and downhill running next weekend at Louisville.

Other than that, it was business as usual for a good Miami team playing a I-AA program like FAMU. There’s really little else to say. I’m still pissed over the 13-10 loss to Florida State and I am cautious about Miami’s chances in Louisville next week. Having Heisman hopeful RB Michael Bush out for the year DEFINITELY helps Miami cause, but they still have Brian Brohm throwing the ball.

This Hurricanes coaches better be ready because Bobby Petrino and staff are going to throw everything AND the kitchen sink at them next week.
