Gadsen and Villari blocks on Trebor Pena jet sweep

[Apdaly]

Really impressed with Nixon... and also that play.

Villari has been suspect blocking this year and OG has a penchant for taking plays off late in the game when he's tired... Really glad they bulldozed in stereo on that play and both ended on a high note.

If we can keep Nixon for another year and he performs similarly, he'll likely be gone... would love another year with him tho.

Hopefully the option of coaching his son and potential lead back next year will keep him here.

At the end of the third quarter, the Miami coaches were strutting around like the -of-the-Walk, holding four fingers up. Mugging for the crowd. I know virtually all teams do that stupid fourth quarter hand signal. But if you’re going to do it, it better mean something. Syracuse looked like the better conditioned team down the stretch and it made a difference.

I'm ok with Miami doing it because they started it. It makes it that much sweeter that we beat them.

It wasn’t between the tackles it was a fullback trap - the first phase of the freeze option. The trap blocking is what became effective. Ultimately it was the interception on the penultimate drive when we were knocking on the door again that probably sealed our fate. Graves had a rollout to the left with Gedney leaking to the right sideline. He was wide open. Graves turned and spotted him. Went into his throwing motion but was hit from behind. The ball popped up and a linebacker dove to intercept it. Horrible twist of events.

The last drive we had to kill time because graves was sick. There’s no other logical explanation. Had we more time to work with we don’t get into a passing frenzy which played into their strengths and resulted in back-to-back sacks when we were already in the red zone. The final play Miami played a deep zone and let gedney catch it in front of them.

I think we may be talking about different things.
