As much as I hate the Hurricanes, we really need them to somehow pull this game off tonight. Expecting a Seminole blowout though.

You leave that player unblocked and attack it just like a qb would a bootleg. Speed always helps. If you're fast enough I don't care how much the defended comes up field. You bow it and get depth...when his shoulders are turned...he's got no chance.

Would this game even sell out in Coral Gables?

I don't think I've ever had less interest in a "top 10" matchup.

Reynolds, however, made some very good decisions and they continued to keep the offense on the field keeping them in the game until the last minute when they didn't have the speed to complete the reverse on 4th down.
is Navy ever "particularly strong"?

Sure. They have better years than others but when you compare this team to other recent Midshipmen teams I don't find them particularly strong. The team that was a 2 point conversion away from taking the lead against the Buckeyes a couple years ago was strong as compared to where the program is at now.

They ended the season in 2004 ranked 24th in both the AP and Coaches poll.

Game changer.
Could be a huge play if FSU scores here.

1 play difference. If Miami had kept that run, he was gone, and we are talking about a tied game.
Instead, it is all FSU game.
And an INT.
FSU doesn't look great, just alright.

Stephen Morris and Duke Johnson > Winston, Wilder and Freeman.

FSU > Miami at all 20 other spots...

If Miami ends up winning this game, do the jump up ahead of OSU in the BCS standings?
