Miami-Georgia Tech

With a minute left in the second half, the Yellow Jackets are mauling the Canes, 24-3. Miami looks like they're ready to get back to South Beach.

Here's the thing about Ga. Tech, and I'm guessing since I never played football: This team seems like it is absolutely no fun to play against. they get a two TD lead and they are just going to thump you, play after play. It's not quite the same as playing against an I-formation team where you can load up at the point of attack. You have to continue playing your assignment no matter how bad it gets. If you have a physical advantage, this offense can figure out a way to negate it.

Count me as one who thinks Paul Johnson was a great hire at Georgia Tech. He's only got 70 guys on scholarship and this is about to be an eight-win team barring a second half collapse.

On the other side, I don't understand why Miami is rotating QBs. I don't understand why Miami's receivers have been poor for a number of years. I don't understand why Miami can only manage good RBs and not great ones.

Can't figure out the Canes. Just when it looks like they've turned a corner the offense plays like tonight.

haven't been able to overcome the mysterious flag that gave OSU the title.

This just in from 2003 . . . "Pass interference call on Miami in the end zone." He just now threw that flag.

Did you watch the rest of the game? Internet crash? Booty call show up? What happened in the second half?
