FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee @ #25 Miami (FL), (ACCNetwork), 2:30PM, Saturday, September 24, 2022

[DoubleRRaider]

Hey! Your chances of Stock pulling a miracle out of his backside and winning are better than hitting the Mega Million or PowerBall. I hope you hit!

Then you get a call from LDeleon5!! 😂😂

A lot of football left, but that $10 might do something.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

And the announcer just called us Red Raiders. Grrrrr. Can't get no respect.

 

[C-Bow]

 

[SpaceRaider]

24-3

 

[sWiley]

We are beating them on the field and in the coaching booth. What a game plan from Shafer & Stewart and even better execution from our players.

Reminds me a bit of Georgia Tech. We were 24 point dogs in that game if I recall. Benny Cunningham ran wild and Anthony Amos caught some TD's too.

Let's go!

 

[blueraiderJT]

I mean what the hell?

 

[sWiley]

Keep up the pressure. Miami is still asleep at the wheel. No emotion, no energy with their players. They look like they don't even want to be there. LOL. Pile the points on!

 

[mtfblue]

is this another GT game?

 

[MTLynn]

The announcer just said “red raiders”

 

[sWiley]

We are -2.5 on the live bet line. Now favored to win.

 

[sWiley]

-6.5 on live bet line.

Let's go blue!

 

[crposton]

Just got called Blue Devils I think I heard

 

[MTLynn]

Just got called Blue Devils I think I heard

The sideline reporter just said blue devils

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Gift from the refs before half.
Gotta protect the P5

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Stock needs to do what he typically doesn't…be aggressive.
Put points on the board before half.

 

[crposton]

Rick is so risk averse it is terrible. Can’t stand how he plays with the lead.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

I’m calling it. We are going to lose. Because Rick Stockstill is a bad coach.
You can’t play conservative and win ball games like this.

 

[sWiley]

Ugh. Hate this second half line. Vegas isn't giving us much credit here.

Second half line is Miami -14.5. So basically they need to win the game.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

I agree calling a run on that last 3rd down, it just wasn't the right run play. Killed time on the clock if we didn't get it. But I can see the conservative calling creeping back up.

Please no.

 

[sWiley]

I think Miami gets 21 points in 2nd half. We will need to score a little more.

I think we need 10 more points to win this one. Maybe 14. Anything less and we will lose.

Miami gets the ball first out of the 2nd half. Will be a very important possession we cannot let them score a TD to start the 3rd quarter or they will have all the momentum and very likely win. Need to force a punt or FG attempt at worse on their first possession. If our defensive line can keep up the pressure we can win this. I hope we don't tire out.

I could see this one coming down to a last second FG for both teams.

 

[Blue_H]

We need 2018 riverboat gambler Rick Stockstill. He took some risks that year.

 

[MT01]

I don’t understand how a defense can play this good against the U and get boat raced against JMU.

They were on the field too much though. Doubt they are going to be able to keep this up if we don’t get some first downs and sustain some drives.

 

[crposton]

I agree calling a run on that last 3rd down, it just wasn't the right run play. Killed time on the clock if we didn't get it. But I can see the conservative calling creeping back up.

Please no.

Yea. Run it on third down, but why not try to get a chunk on first and see what happens. If you get some yardage play aggressive. If you don’t then run clock.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

😲I couldn’t believe the MT/Miami score when I checked it for the first time.

I’m at Liberty Stadium and North Texas is giving Memphis all they want. This one is gonna go down to the wire in the 2nd half. The UNT defense will flat knock the hell out of you.

 

[sWiley]

I think this first possession for Miami is everything. If they get a TD here I think we lose. If we can hold to a FG attempt I like our chances.

 

[sWiley]

Not a good 2nd half start.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

Get a stop and then go 3 and out, with a run on 3rd and long. Grrrr.

 

[crposton]

Not a good 2nd half start.

We cannot sustain a drive. Running it on 3rd and 12 is garbage. Playing not to lose instead of playing to win.

 

[SpaceRaider]

31-10

 

[TRUEBLUE73]

This is unbelievable! GO BLUE RAIDERS!

 

[sWiley]

Really happy for our players. Hope they can keep their foots on Miami's neck.

Our coordinators deserve a lot of credit here. Masterful game plans on both sides of the ball, and our players are executing at a high level.

 

[Sommy]

Need that running game to be strong to eat the clock. Finish this!

 

[MTActor]

MY GOD ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN! I have to go perform in a show in an hour but I’m might tell stage management to hold the damn curtain so I can finish this game!

 

[arg3b]

Let’s go Blue Raiders!!

 

[tyler90wm]

Wow, honestly not expected, but just enjoying the ride so far. The pessimist in me is still very worried though

 

[sWiley]

Gonna come down to the 4th. Here comes Miami.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

New QB has lit a fire under them. We better answer this possession.

 

[MTsumner92]

What!!!!!!#%^*([[&^%$@#""$#!!!!

 

[sWiley]

Offense probably gonna go cold. Defense is gonna have to finish this one if we are to win.


I don't think we get another point. Defense will have to keep them from getting 2 TD's over these final 20 minutes.

 

[sWiley]

That is 100% a fumble. These ACC refs better not F us. There is not even close to being enough evidence to over turn this.
