Monday Musings: Playing big boy football

Ittttttttttttt’ssssssssssssss Monday! And the first Monday after a Miami Hurricanes football game since the one after Thanksgiving weekend.

So without further adon’t, let’s see what’s shaking among my orange-and-green-hued thoughts...

1) Ok, so THAT’S how you play big boy football. Miami leaned on its offensive line and ran the ball 36 times to 25 pass attempts. And boy, did it work. 270 yards on those 36 carries for a 6.9 average. Sure, it was Miami (OH), but the physicality was clear. That’s what I hoped to see. It’ll take another level to run the ball successfully against teams like Clemson and FSU (and heck, maybe even UNC), but that was as good of a start as you could hope for against an FBS team.
