Tonight Miami hosts the Rambling Wreck of Georgia Tech in a Thursday night early season match-up. They sure are getting the good ones in early in the ACC. Miami took down Florida St. on Labor day and Ga. Tech took out Clemson a week ago. If Beamer-ball didn't have a say in this I would just go ahead and call this thing the ACC championship game.
This will be interesting because Miami gave up the equivalent of the entire Florida coast in rushing yardage a year ago to Paul Johnson's 'Jackets and that pesky triple option. But Miami looked like they had taken a step (even be it slight) in the win at Florida St. The question will be can Jacory Harris keep his cool against a better pass rush? He had the magic in week 1 but we've learned that Florida St. (losing 9-7 to Jacksonville St. midway through 4th) may not be the same test that the Yellow Jackets will be. Miami has to get Javarris James and Graig Cooper going to ease the pressure off the passing game. Once they've done that then Jacory can let it fly to the likes of WR Travis Benjamin and TE Dedrick Epps.
As for Randy Shannon's defense, ASSIGNMENT FOOTBALL. You've got to play disciplined against the option or it will be a repeat of last year.
I like what Paul Johnson is doing down in Hotlanta. Georgia Tech reviving the wing-option game in the era of the spread is like the comeback of skinny ties but not nearly as annoying. Nesbitt seems taylor-made for the option (just don't let him throw), while Dwyer is a bruiser coming downhill out of the fullback spot. Sprinkle in Roddy White's speed and Anthony Allen who escaped from the black hole that now is Louisville, and you've got 4 legitimate running threats on every given down. That's not even mentioning WR Demaryius Thomas on the perimeter, but we'll mention him more when Nesbitt learns how to throw a spiral.
If the game sucks though, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia premieres tonight. WILDCARD!
