Jacory Harris possibly transferring?

Eye on the U | The QB debate, possible DB changes & more

Btw, Brandon Harris is now the starting CB opposite of Chavez Grant. :D

idk, probably in the minority, but i like harris more than marve. i'd like to see him stay. also, forston was out last game, so the line might hold up better this week against FSU.

Miami @ FSU 1991 on ESPN Classic right now. Those were good times....:up:

I've seen FSU play a couple of times this season and I don't see anyway they beat the Canes unless Miami makes a bunch of mistakes. Miami has the better O and even though I think FSU has a slightly better D I don't see the FSU O being able to do much.

In the UNC game, we got beat deep and between the tackles. Forston was out in that game and he is a key in the run defense. With him in there, we are completely different. If he plays like he has this season, we should be able to stop them on the ground. However, in the secondary, we have big problems. We continue to allow big plays downfield and don't have any interceptions from our DB's this year. As Brandon Harris said in the article, they are always out of their zones, trying to make a play but get burnt. Eventually, they'll make a play but they need to stay with their assignments. Ponder is not that good so far at FSU but I wouldn't be surprised to see them attack us downfield with Preston Parker. We're going to have to stop Antone Smith, who had a huge day against CU, and we're going to have to blitz Ponder because he's a nervous wreck when he has someone coming at him. I think if we can pressure him, we could force a couple turnovers. If we play zone defense again, we could get tore up again.

On offense, it could be a tough task. FSU has some good blitzers (Kenny Ingram and Dakota Watson) and then they have a good Defensive End in Everette Brown (that I like as an OLB prospect in the draft). Tony Carter can make some plays in the secondary for them but I think we have to use big Aldarius Johnson against him. I think Carter is 5'8 and Aldarius is 6'2. Johnson uses his body well to get position and has hands like glue. We have to use him often in this game because we will have an advantage. I expect to see Travis Benjamin, the speedy WR, see some balls. Possibly downfield and off of screens like we have seen. In the article, they said we could see him in the backfield as well so that should be interesting. The guy is dynamic, he's averaging 17.7 yards per punt return. Get the guys the ball who can make a play. If we fail to do so, we will fail to win once again.

Interesting. I think you are in the minority lol. Why so?

FSU @ Miami 2002 is on ESPN Classic right now. But we all know how that one ends :up:

I'd LOVE to hear the reasoning on this comment.

Mavre has not only shown incredible potential but he's playing well beyond his years right now. He looks to be the next great UM QB.

If Jacory is so weak minded that he wants to transfer already then I'd say "don't let the door hit you on your arse on the way out".

Nice post. :up:

Who's ready for the game against Floridas S**t University?

It's all about the U.

Man I'm starting to get upset with Shannon. Linebacker Colin McCarthy was ruled out for today's FSU game. And instead of starting Sean Spence, he starts Romeo Davis. They say the two will be alternating at the LB spot. What the hell? Start Spence for once this season and see how it goes. I'm 100% sure he can make more plays than Romeo Davis. God.

I completely forgot that this game was on today.
3:30, right?

This used to be my favorite game every year. No other regular season games (since the ND series at least) would get me that excited.
It really sucks to see how far it's fallen off the radar.

Some news that I read from a Canes board. In the article I posted a couple posts up, it said that Brandon Harris is starting. Well, now I am not sure whose starting the secondary. Demarcus Van Dyke has been seeing time at the other starting spot and I read that Bruce Johnson could be starting again. Grant may be in the nickel. This secondary is so confusing. I would go with DVD, Harris to be honest.

And I'm still upset that Spence isn't starting lol.

Yeah, its a 3:30. I agree that its fallen off the radar but it still pumps me up. Probably because I'm a fan of the Hurricanes lol.

I missed it. Why isn't Spence starting? I've been trying to watch more of UM this year just because of him.

Hey I still get excited over the UF FSU game :lol:

Today McCarthy is out and Shannon chose to start the injury-prone and terrible player Romeo Davis. I'm not sure the reasoning behind it but that's just what I've read. I'm guessing experience? They'll be switching up though but it still upsets me because Davis is a terrible player while Spence is the opposite.

Hey I still get excited over the UF FSU game :lol:

:lol:

Yep. Whoever is tougher in the trenches will win this one imo. Who do you think wins this game? Be honest because I know your an FSU fan lol.

miami because they are at home

About to start! C'mon Miami!

what an idiot. couldnt stay in bounds should be 7-0

Good. Brad Nessler is announcing. Makes things listenable.

Damn that was a nice return. I'm a fan of Garvin. It looks like Spence is starting after all the news he wouldn't. This game has to be a big one for Ojomo and Bailey off the edge. We're the 7th ranked rush defense and that will be key. Haven't noticed if Forston is in or not.

Nice play Spence.

First INT for any of our DB's this year. Out of all people, Bruce Johnson. Hate the guy but good play.

Phew!!

Horrendous decision right there.

Just give Florida State the football game, why don't you.

God, Forston is not in the game. Get his arse in there! Joseph can't do $h1t.

:theu: ball! Come on!

Btw, I believe Spence has six tackles in the first quarter and there's still 7 min left lol. Ridiculous.

EDIT: Damn was hoping to get the ball lol.
