St. Petersburg Bowl Miami vs Mississippi State

[gmartin]

Not too exciting but Miami playing well.

After 1st quarter Miami leads 3-0

Unfortunately this stadium is worse for football than it is for baseball with the Rays

[gmartin]

Miami up 9-0

[MarkL]

I thought this was the worst chance for the MAC to get a win. I might have been wrong .....

[Falconfreak90]

Miami is motivated and MSU is disinterested....MAC needs to get this one. 0-4 so far, ugh.

[gmartin]

Miami dominated that 1st half but only up by 2 at the half, 9-7.

[Falconfreak90]

16-7 MU with 5:30 left in the 3rd...

[gmartin]

4th and 1 and kicking game costing Miami. Missed an XP. Kicking game is bad so they went for it twice in 4th and 1 and failed both times.

[Falconfreak90]

Miami left too many points on the field...and MSU has a brain fart. Kick the FG.

[gmartin]

Not sure what Dan and MSU was thinking but they gave Miami a chance. 4th & 4 at MU 20 yard line. MSU QB gets hurt and brings in a Freshman and goes for it on 4th down rather than kicking a 37 yd FG (Indoors and good FG kicker).

Let's win this Redskins

[gmartin]

Not sure what Mullen was thinking. Maybe he wants to go back and thank the MAC and give the MAC a win. Miami is driving for the game winning score.

[Falconfreak90]

Heh heh...should have kicked, Mullen.

[gmartin]

And Miami blows it.

[gmartin]

Not sure why they kicked the FG on 3rd down when they still had a time out. Would have continued to run the ball and try and score a TD. MAC now 0-5

[Falconfreak90]

Geeze....Kicking game cost Miami today.

[Tech83]

Well.... I didn't watch the game.... checked in on occasion. Half working today.

I'm looking forward to next season for Miami - I reordered my season tix last week.
My only hope is that Chuck Martin sticks around Oxford for awhile - but at 48 years old... one or two winning seasons after turning the program around probably means he'll be headed for his big payday.

BGSU and Miami both need to be strong programs. I always want those two battling for the Championship.

Miami needs to resolve their issues with their place kicker.... I'll say that much. Been a problem all year.

(For the newbies around here.... I went to both schools... so I follow both schools...... except when they play each other... then its all BGSU..... particular Hockey.... effing hate Miami hockey and their fans).
