FSU v. Miami – the Fourth Quarter

All quarters should begin with an FSU touchdown. That is my new policy. FSU ties it, 10 – 10, virtually guaranteeing this game comes down to a field goal.

A couple of very nice passes by Weatherford, and then we’re visiaully assaulted by Holly Rowe and her now-uncovered hathead. Could someone please keep this woman off camera?

Ah, that’s better, a nice pass completion deep inside the red zone. This shotgun thing is working now that Weatherford is actually catching the snap.

Did I say he was catching the snap? I meant, “recovering the fumbled snap for a ten-yard loss.” Oh, god, here comes the field goal unit.

Hey, Cismesia hits it for a 13 – 10 lead, and he’s 2 for 2 on the night. But that still means it’s a three point game. Ugh.

Miami, pinned to their own end-zone, needed to make something of this drive with three minutes left and haven’t done it. We need a couple of first downs to seal this game and avoid even the most remote possibility of Miami kicking a field goal to tie it.

With 1:08 left, the Canes get the ball back on their own 20 yard line. They need a field goal to tie. No time outs left.

0:33 on the clock, Canes at their own 25. Noles pick! Now THAT’s the way to end a game like this – on a high note, no stupid field goals.

The Noles show a lot of potential in this game, but it’s also pretty clear that we have a lot of work to do before the rest of the season hits.
