I think Mullen was trying to put the best face on things as possible. It's always good to beat Miami but it's always ugly with some thuggery. A great win and likely state championship but I don't think we took full advantage of the national exposure for our program.Gators pulled out the W in spite of Franks. Cant wait for him to leave.
Was anyone else annoyed by Mullen in the post game? Saban would have been pissed if his team performed so poorly. Mullen was grinning ear to ear.
How much was Miami blitzing last night versus just using their front to control things
Nothing would make me happier than retiring the Franks project and breaking ground on the EJ project. If Trask could stay healthy, I would rather see him in than Franks. For every good throw Franks makes, there are 3 bad ones. Hard to get any consistency to the O with that.
Looking at some positives from the game:
1. I mentioned this before, but Ventrell Miller at money. He is has sideline to sideline speed. And on one play, was step for step with stud tight end Brevin Jordan about 25 yards downfield. Last year, Jordan scores on that play.
2. Jean Delance at RT. There were a few plays where I was blown away by his athleticism. Now, I've seen plenty of athletic linemen who couldn't block a grandmother. But, his talent provides Hevesy with a lot to work with.
3. Greenard was a leader last night on defense, helping point out adjustments presnap. While almost as good as Polite off the ball, he is significantly more physical.
4. There is a lot to build on. We played an elite defense last night. Our o-line held up better than expected in my opinion. Over the last few days, I've already posted what the nfl thinks of scUM's front 7. It is highly rated.
Considering their DEs the O line passed blocked better than I thought they would. The run blocking was very pedestrian however as that isn't Miami's strength though their tackles are above average.
The KY game believe it or not will tell us a lot about both lines as they have a good O line still and their D line is decent - they just lost that good pass rusher.
It was 100% logic. Franks is a crapshoot even with time in the pocket. Put people in his face and he's a bad percentage quarterback.How much was Miami blitzing last night versus just using their front to control things
I could post this in any of the several threads discussing Franks’ maturity, but did anyone notice he punted a ball into the stands after the game?
