Manning to Tyree = Best SB Play EVER!!!!
jbond said:We were all hoping for a better showing as last year was painful to watch....although Bates did have his moments in getting us excited. I wouldn't predict anything based off this game since it is what it was....the first preseason game. Consider it to be just a hair above the usual Titan scrimmage (which we're not having this year b/c of this additional preseason game). Nothing more, nothing less at this point. Just an oppoent for the team to suit and and practice against and for Saban to get a look at how the players react against different opponents. Now we get to see what Saban does after picking the film apart. How Saban handles the mistakes from preseason will be extremely important in their improvement to the regular seaon. At this poit...they've had only a few weeks to practice and a couple of mini-camps. They're just getting into the swing of things. No excuses from me for the crappy mistakes....but it is just the begining of the next 4 1/2 months.
I understand. I just don't understand the negativity. How many points did Miami score in their first preseason game last year? I know it wasn't 24. Did they score 24 all of preseason?
