Pre-game: Kenny chesney? The f*ck?
UM
Jacory harris first pass, a small dump to javarris james, turned into big yardage.
I really hope they use the speed of Graig Cooper and Javarris James like they did in this play, instead of trying to air it out
Second play. Of course they don’t listen to me. Harris throws a pass that only Kareem Abdul Jabbar could have caught, 15-20 yards downfield. Incomplete
4th and 1. going for it.
Still 4th and 1. just as loud as last time, gives Javarris an iso up the middle for about 3 yards. 1st down
Harris picked a good play. Saw the mismatch and took advantage. I’m not a true believer though, there was no pressure at all, and about 10 yards of space between Benjamin and the nickel corner. No shots but I don’t want him throwing too many of those this game. Travis Benjamin burns the safety. Didn’t they learn anything in this game last year? Benjamin had nearly 300 yds of all purpose yards. UM-7, FSU-0
Ponder is playing like Harris; don’t do too much, just manage the game, count on good plays from your receivers, and bad tackles from the defense to move the ball. So far so good.
This drive looks eerily similar to what we just saw. Just remember to keep the offense in front of you, Canes.
Big tackle behind the line to suck (nh) some of the energy out of the stadium. Good Job Wesley.
Once again, another questionable decision to not slide ever, ponder. These tackles look poorly formed, could spell trouble if we don't wrap up.
3rd and 23 converted easily by FSU…the f*ck. Don’t ask. Ponder had no pressure, finds the hole in the Cover 2. Followed by a badly covered fade to the TE, TD FSU. UM-7, FSU-7

Sidebar: it’s becoming evident that this is gonna be a barn burner
Alright, now that both sides are warmed up hopefully we'll see some defense
Andre Johnson has no personality and it shows in this commercial. Somehow its still funny.
UM
3 and out. But not before Harris throws another alley-oop type past. Oh shi- wait the receivers are only 6’3? Damn no
wonder it didn’t work. Harris needs to settle down
3 and out for FSU as well. Ponder has a Death Wish (no Charles Bronson), the way he’s scrambling.
UM
Javarris James is again doing more than his share for the Offense
Graig Cooper Gets stopped behind the line, what a way for FSU to end the 1st quarter. The energy must be crazy. A nice contrast to this (what I’m assuming is) local commercial about capitalizing on foreclosed homes.
I like the way Harris is managing this game. Hopefully he doesn’t try and do too much, or try to go toe to toe with Ponder, either through passing or scrambling, esp. since I’m sure Ponder is gonna end up hurting himself.
What did I just say? He takes forever to see that there’s no one open, then scrambles toward the middle of the field. Takes a nice shot to the groin (none), and to add insult to what could have been an injury, a holding call.
2nd and 11. once again harris burns like 20 seconds looking for nothing. Scrambles for like 5 yards. 3rd down.
Damn, a sack.
FSU
Ponder’s life flashes before his eyes; Steven Wesley is on him like white on rice, throws ball away.
Good plays by the guys in the box. Way to stay on the option, Big loss. Another drive which starts with potential, leads to a punt.
UM
3rd and 16
since when dose PA work 2x in a row. I haven’t successfully done that since Madden 04 on pro-mode.
Two excellent passes, followed by two that nearly got picked. Including one to Jimmy Graham, shouts to the Basketball team.
We’re out of timeouts.
FSU is working
Oliver Vernon hurt after an FSU rushing first down.
Ponder’s getting into a groove. And its translating to his teammates and the crowd. This isn’t good for UM. Drive leads to a FG. UM-14, FSU-10
Hercules: I have not seen this many Canes drop since the Kappa show.
The announcers compare the opening 6 games for UM to “Murderer’s Row.” That’s promising.
UM 2:00 drill.. can Harris deliver?
Wow, a running play to James. we haven’t seen too man y running plays as of late. You’d think
The clock is not your friend. Go to the sidelines. Sheesh
Nice throw to Aldarius…wait, that’s seriously his name?
James again with a nice run, TD
Haha, my boy Cordaro in the
The announcers question the pooch kick, which leaves FSU at the 40, with 40 seconds to go and a red-hot QB. I agree.
Hell of a throw, even though it may not have been kept in bounds. Of course, no way to get a second look, UM doesn’t have time outs.
A pick ends the drive, after Brad Nessler points out that no one has made a mistake. He must have ESP.
