This next game is huge. I must avenge the 48-10 thrashing FSU gave me last year.

5-1 Miami @ 2-3 FSU

This game was played in sunny, 79 degree weather unlike last year's game which poured down on Miami in every way. After losing 48-10 at home to FSU last year and watching FSU run up the score late in the game, Miami was determined to win this game.

This was two very good teams going at it. Miami was a 92 overall and FSU a 94. Both had 99 rated defenses and they did play very well. The first half ended with Miami leading 14-0! Both TDs were scored on interception returns for TDs! In fact, Miami stayed conservative and terrible on offense as they only manged one first down all half! Cooper only had 13 yards on 9 carries.

Some controversy in the first half as the refs seemed to favour FSU. Two third down plays were ruled first downs. One was a spot about a full yard past where it should have been. Challenge denied! The first one was a 25 yard pass play where the receiver jumped up and was knocked clearly out of bounds. Never got a foot in and I couldn't even challenge it! You see for yourself.



Anyway, I still had a 14-0 lead and the ball to start the second half. I hooked up with my only real offensive play all game to set up a TD and take a 21-0 lead.



I took the 21-0 lead technically into the 4th quarter but they scored a TD on the first play of the quarter. FSU gets the ball back and despite having a safety back, both DBs get beat deep (yes, the cpu went deep!). B.Reed went nuts on me in this game.



Now I'm only up 21-14 with a little under 4 minutes to go and FSU has all their timeouts. Yikes! But I manage to pound some first downs out on the ground. With just under 2 minutes left, I fall short on a 3rd down run but the refs make up for their crapiness by calling them for a facemask. First down Miami! That puts me in FG range and I kick a FG with under 1 minute left to take a 24-14 lead and FSU has no timeouts left. Miami wins 24-14 but only jumps to #22 in the polls despite being 6-1.

Miami Stats
I finished with only 9 first downs and punted 7 times but no turnovers!

C.Smith 6-10, 77 yards passing, 0 TD, 0 INT, sacked 4 times
G.Cooper 22-66, 0 TD
J.James 11-19, 1 TD

FSU
They managed 14 first downs but still punted 6 times and had 3 interceptions, two of which were returned for TDs.

C.Ponder 25-37, 309 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT, not sacked
T.Pressley 20-23, 1 TD
B.Reed 16 catches for 227 yards and 1 TD (set FSU single game catch record)

Up next is a home game with Georgia Tech. Still have VaTech and Georgia left. No game is easy though. No recruits signed but the two big tackles have given me soft verbals.

4-2 Georgia Tech @ 6-1 #22 Miami

This turned out to be a back and forth game filled with frustration and exhileration. It ended up the #2 greatest game of all time with a score of 1862.

The Miami defense suffered some big lapses today and allowed a lot of big plays. I personally whiffed somehow on Dwyer leading to a long TD run in the first half for GT.



On a double team play, the doubled WR caught a curl route, broke two tackles and scored a TD which drove me nuts. I also threw three picks in the first half that set up points for GT although Cannon Smith did not throw an INT in the second half. Graig Cooper was also off his game as he fumbled twice and got himself benched for Javarres James. He fumbled late in the first half near the goalline but luckily my TE picked the ball up for a TD.



At halftime, the Hurricanes trailed 20-17 but got the ball first in the 2nd half. Dwyer had a 59 yard TD run and 16 carries for 112 yards at the half. The Hurricanes actually scored two TDs in the third quarter to take a 31-20 lead into the 4th. That's when trouble happened. GT scored a TD but failed on the 2 point conversion. Miami was leading 31-26 but had to punt the ball back with three minutes to go. GT hit a WR against a cover 3, he broke a tackle and was finally tackled at my 3 yard line. But that just delayed the TD as they punched it in and Dwyer got the two point conversion. Miami trails 34-31.

I got the ball back with 3 time outs left but ended up going 4 and out. I was able to stop GT with one minute left having burned all my time outs but they still kicked a FG to take a 37-31 lead. Again, I got the ball back and failed to do much. On 4th and 7 with 23 seconds left at my 35 yard line, magic happened.



A 65 yard TD as Benjamin just turned on the jets and split the seam! A terribly frustrating 4th quarter filled with curse words ended up with me jumping for joy off my couch! Miami wins 38-37! Dwyer only got four carries for some reason in the 2nd half and Nesbitt did little and was hurt half the game. I had 4 turnovers to their none but came away happy.

Miami improves to 7-1 and moves up to #20 (still getting screwed). My top two recruits, a 5* tackle and a 4* tackle committed which will help me go after the next few guys.

Miami Stats
C.Smith 19-32, 256 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT

J.James 14-67, 1 TD
G.Cooper 13-75

T.Benjamin 4-130, 1 TD
S.Shields 4-55, 1 TD

A.Brown, 8 tackles, 5 tackles for loss

GT
Nesbitt 7-12, 69 yards
Shaw 8-12, 154 yards, 2 TD

Dwyer 20-117, 1 TD

Only being ranked #20 after a 6-1 start... that does sound pretty screwy.

What ranked teams do you have left to play?

I'm 7-1 now and only #20! I beat #7 Florida and #4 Oklahoma although I did lose to #3 OSU. I still have Georgia up on the schedule but am not sure how high they are ranked. They were #2 at the beginning. Va Tech is still up and they are tough. North Carolina is a B+ team but unranked having a bad year. NC State is also on the schedule and are a B- team and I don't think they are ranked but they are doing well.
