Good call. Sexton would've shredded Miami's defense in his first college start. Happens all the time. The OB at night is a bit of a different animal than the Carrier Dome vs. Syracuse.
It's almost as if you did not watch the game. Rix handed the game to the Canes, literally. He was on his knees praying 'Please let me find a way to lose this game.' And he finally found a Canes player, or two, who was willing to take the gift. Rix may make an outstanding WR in the NFL maybe a good conditioning coach.
I don't think anyone is saying Sexton would have shredded UM's D. There are 10 other players on offense and 11 on D that totally beat UM. The QB was the weak link in that game. Sexton would not have had as much in-game experience and familiarity with the WRs but he also would not have made as many mistakes. That is the story of Rix's career. Brilliant series followed by bonehead plays.
Say what you will about Syracuse, FSU still won that game. Syracuse may be as good as #18 ranked Louisville (freaking Army scored 3 TDs on them). And Louiville totally whooped on Miami in the order of 40 points. On both counts the better team did what it should, win.
Wake Forest scored 2 defensive TDs and on FSU before half time. They only got a field goal the rest of the way and the D almost pitched a shutout the rest of the game.
Unless USC or Oklahoma loses Miami will probably face FSU again in a BCS bowl then we will see who is the best in the state and in the conference.
It's sad though because the BCS and the polls really suck. Oklahoma has been beating tomato cans by a large margin so theyHow in blazes is Georgia still ranked that much higher than Tennessee? Maybe they need to get a better uni.
Notre Dame sux and they are suddenly ranked. Big surprise.
They will finish 7-4 this year and still manage to get a bowl.
