I thought Florida had a chance to really put a beat down on Miami when they were about to go up 14-3, but it didn't happen and the entire course of the mistake-filled game changed.
Miami's not bad. No reason to think they can't win the Coastal. Their defense looked pretty good at times and their offense will likely improve.
Agree. Miami certainly has some pieces. Tough to really get a read on Williams given he was pressured all night, but he looked OK. If he can play game manager and not make big mistakes, the defense will likely win them a lot of games. If I were Miami fan, I'd still have the same concerns I had entering the season... Will the offense be good enough? Will have to wait and see how they do against a more pedestrian defense... Maybe Williams will suck when he has time in the pocket to look downfield more often.
The sloppy, boneheaded errors on both sides made the game a tough watch. That Franks 4Q INT was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I don't think you have to exclusively run the ball in that situation, but to throw the ball in an area w/ 3 Miami players and zero Florida players (on 1st down!) was awful.
