faba Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Interesting game tonight LSU's QB is out Two defenses are real good so it should be low scoring The exact opposite of most of the games so far- a lot of scoring in most of the bowl games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Should be a great game. It's about time Louisiana gets to kick a Hurricanes ass, instead of the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Weinrd not seeing Miami talk trash at any point during a game. Game Notes: Jarrett is a joke. Hester is scared of contact. I still like Merriwether. He will be a player. Addai is a player. So is Bowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened immediately after was even worse. No. 9 Miami suffered its worst loss in more than seven years on Friday night, a 40-3 defeat to 10th-ranked LSU in the Peach Bowl -- a game marred by a skirmish near one of the field exit tunnels shortly after the game. Miami coach Larry Coker said he was told the incident started when an LSU player tried to grab a game ball from a ballboy on the Hurricanes' sideline. That sparked a melee with more than a dozen players involved in some capacity, and which apparently led to two Miami players being knocked unconscious. "As a university, as a football program, we don't condone any type of activities such as that," Coker said. "Certainly, I think, that detracts from a great bowl game and what the spirit of college football is all about." Coker said the two unconscious players were Andrew Bain and Khalil Jones. Neither was hospitalized, said Coker, who was told that those players were injured by someone swinging a helmet during the scuffle. Miami players were not made available for comment after the game. "That was a bunch of craziness," LSU offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth said. It was a trying end to a season that started with promise for the Hurricanes, who lost two regular-season games -- both on missed opportunities. On Friday night, the problems went far deeper. Miami was simply dominated by LSU, giving up more than 300 yards by halftime and doing nothing right offensively, either. It was the most one-sided beating absorbed by a Miami team since Nov. 28, 1998, a 66-13 loss to Syracuse. The night started with such promise. Miami marched down the field on its first possession, taking a 3-0 lead on Jon Peattie's chip-shot field goal early in the first quarter. Things soured quickly. When Miami quarterback Kyle Wright came up short on a fourth-and-inches early in the second quarter, LSU got the ball -- and seized momentum. Playing before a decidedly pro-Tigers crowd, LSU opened a 20-3 lead by halftime, then scored the first 20 points of the second half while heads drooped on the Miami sideline. The loss assures that the Hurricanes won't finish ranked among the nation's top 10 teams and probably not as the highest-rated club in the Atlantic Coast Conference -- two of the team's biggest goals entering the Peach Bowl, which they won with ease over Florida a year ago. In Miami's first loss, against Florida State, the Hurricanes missed a chance for an easy field goal at the end and lost 10-7. Against Georgia Tech, a crucial fourth-and-short wasn't converted, helping seal a 14-10 defeat. But there was nothing close about this one. "I don't think we stopped playing," Coker said. "I don't think we played the entire day." Wright completed only 10 of 21 passes for 100 yards, victimized by drops and never-ending pressure from LSU's swarming defensive front. The Hurricanes couldn't stop LSU running back Joseph Addai, who rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown. And by night's end, Miami was outgained 468-153 -- a truly stunning stat, considering the Hurricanes came into the game ranked among the nation's stingiest defenses. "They played," Coker said. "And we didn't." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 My notes: The LSU OL made quick work of the Miami DL, to the extent that the second team OL was in the game to start the 4th quarter. #76 Andrew Whitworth: Not as fast as Winston but still mobile. Handled whoever he was lined up against and had no trouble reaching the second level. Looked good getting out and around to pull on trap plays. Overall very solid technically. Was beat to the inside on 1 pass rush, but this is nitpicking on what was a great game. #71 Nate Livings also did a nice job in the run game, blowing open holes that accounted for some of #10 Joseph Addai's best runs of the night. An interesting second day prospect. #98 Claude Wroten has a very quick first step, there were occasions where he embarassed his opposing blocker and was over the line of scrimmage before he got out of his stance. As TomShane would say he's a penetrator who consistantly seems to make his prescense felt the backfield. For the other side #74 Eric Winston looks smoother as time passes from his leg injury. TO say he has quick feet is a gross understatement, this kid can dance out there. A prep TE star, Winston's conversion brings mobility to the position not seen very often. Should he prove that his injuries are in the past he could be a top pass protector for some lucky club in the NFL. (Jets fans remember Terry loves Miami players! like Willis this guy had top 5 value before the injury). One to watch Senior Bowl week, I have a feeling he's going to be very tough in one on one drills. #4 Devin Hester playing on offense was a revelation. This should be his focus for next season. If he puts together a whole year's full of highlights he could convince some club he'd be better tailback/WR than defensive CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
