    The official Miami v. Florida State thread

    They're saying this is the quickest FSU defense ever.

    Huh.

    They're interviewing Bowden right now. He sounds familiar:

    "I think we've got a chance to be pretty good."

    "football is not my god. It's third, or something like that."

      Miami is up 7-0. FSU defense looked sub-par. They gave up yards on a WR screen, put zero pressure on the QB, and blew an assignment to give up a long TD pass. Miami controlled the lines.

      ESPN is highlighting FSU's defensive impact players . . . as their offense takes the field.

        Ponder doesn't seem afraid to run.

          FSU loves their short passes. Their first five passes were to five different receivers, and none of them were to a receiver five yards beyond the line of scrimmage. They count on their speed to pick up yards after the catch. Not terribly effective on the ground. Their long passing game is effective; their first pass was a near completion just short of the end zone; it would have been a thirty yard pass. Then they converted on third and twenty-three.

              Miami's line is keeping FSU's QB from settling in, but he is making good throws and scrambling when he needs to. A good throw to an open TE for ten yards evens the score at 7-7.

              The teams look evenly matched. Miami is doing better at controlling the line of scrimmage right now, but FSU's QB is good enough to compensate. Both run 4-3 defenses, and both run spread O's. Both of the first drives required 4th down conversions and scored TDs through the air.

                Tie ball game. FSU looks pretty good offensively thus far. Particularly through the air.

                  FSU's defense looks very fast - and very undisciplined.

                    Replay of FSU's touchdown pass showed that Miami's corner blew coverage when the WR ran an in and the TE a fade.

                    Miami just ran a long WR reverse, then lost two on a QB sack.

                      FSU brings the heat on third and 12. The QB got a good pass off anyway, but the WR dropped the ball. Miami to punt.

                      Miami gives up five more yards on a delay of game, but FSU declines. Why so many DoG's this season? Good grief.

                        FSU goes three and out after forcing a Miami punt when they lose two on a QB keeper, gain eight on a short pass, and get stopped on a rush on third down. Decent punt puts the ball at the 25.

                          Christian Ponder has the potential to scare me.

                              FSU forces a 4th and 15 after pressure on the quarterback forces a five yard scramble on second down and a sack on third. The Miami QB had time and may have had open receivers, especially on the 2nd down scramble.

                              Guys, if you're not tuned it to this one, turn the TV on. This could be a battle.
