I had predicted a Miami Upset in a close game. I predicted the upset based on a young defense, because fundamentally defense wins championships and the FSU Defense isn't there yet. Make no mistake it will be but not yet.
Review the keys to the game:
FSU Rushing yards: 110 Yards 1 TD by Ponder
UM Rushing yards: 90 Yards 3 TDs by Running Backs.
UM Won this matchup.
FSU Turnovers: (2) INT before Half by Ponder, and Fumble on a drive that was moving well.
UM Turnovers: (2) INT by Greg Reid and an INT by Marcus White for a TD.
This matchup was even. UM capitalized on the FSU turnovers as well.
FSU Stupid penalties: ZERO. I thought the pass interference call on P. Robinson was a bad call.
UM Stupid Penalties: (1) UM Kicker late hit out of bounds on Greg Reid led to great field position and a score for FSU.
FSU won this matchup.
FSU Key injuries: None: J. Thomas was benched for some reason for Ty Jones but he was not injured.
UM Key Injuries: None: plenty of cramps all over the place by UM but FSU didn't capatalize.
FSU disappointments: J. Fortson dropped too many balls including the potential Game winner, FSU Running Game, and FSU Pass Defense
FSU Accolades: Greg Reid, Freshman (K) Hopkins had two long Field goals...yes he missed an extra point but didn't get discouraged.
Final Thoughts: After Week 1, these are the 2 best teams in the ACC. If there is a rematch in the ACC Title game, FSU will win it.
