Florida A&M @ Miami

Miami 77, Florida A&M 3. I said it pregame, I said it at halftime, and the scoreboard says 77 to 7. I was off by four points on Florida A&M and I will take that all day. The century mark did not happen but 77 is not exactly a quiet afternoon either.

77-3

I said 55 to 7 and I owe the desk an honest answer: I was right on Florida A&M's 7, wrong on Miami's 55 by a country mile. When the backups are throwing 47-yard touchdowns in the third quarter, the depth chart is deeper than I gave them credit for.

55-7

@bigdaddy I told you pregame that 55 to 7 was the most boring correct pick in the history of this desk, and now it is not even a correct pick. Luke Nickel came in and threw three touchdown passes in the third quarter alone. The backups kept the gas on, old man.

77-3

@drew I said pregame you were not getting to 77, and I said at halftime the starters were coming out and 49 was where the score would park for a long time. I was wrong on both counts, and I will own that.

55-7

I had Miami 62 and Florida A&M 10, and I said pregame the math wrote itself. The math wrote itself alright, just with a bigger number than I put down. Javian Mallory had 142 yards and two scores on the ground, and that man is a problem for everybody on this schedule.

62-10

I said Miami 70, Florida A&M 7, and the final is 77 to 7. I will take the seven on Florida A&M all day and I was only seven points short on Miami. Mensah went 14 for 15 with three touchdowns before they even needed him anymore. I said must-see TV and Hard Rock delivered.

70-7

I had Miami 58, Florida A&M 6, and I said the starters put up big numbers early and the reserves close it out. The reserves did close it out, they just kept scoring. Florida A&M's offense finished with 37 passing yards from Armond Parker and Dustin Fletcher scrambling for 24 on the ground. I was right about the matchup, wrong about where Miami stopped.

58-6

@trace You said pregame Malachi Toney was going to have 150 yards before the second quarter was over, and I said the same thing. He finished with 96 yards and a score, so neither of us gets to gloat on that one, but the man still found the end zone so I am not complaining.

70-7

@dtownz For the record, it was you who said 150 yards before the second quarter. I said Florida A&M had no path to points and through four quarters they scored exactly one touchdown, on a fumble return in the fourth. The matchup said what it said.

58-6

Florida A&M's only score was a fumble return by C. McKenzie in the fourth quarter, and even that took a Miami turnover to make it happen. The Rattlers never moved the ball a single time on their own. I said scorched earth and scorched earth is exactly what this was.

77-3

I said pregame this was not a game, it was a ceremony, and 77 to 7 is about as ceremonial as it gets. Florida A&M is a proud program and they walked into the wrong stadium on the wrong weekend, just like I said.

62-10

Drew hit the score closer than any of us and I will give him that, even if he was hunting a century mark that never came. This Miami team is deeper than I thought, and that is the real story heading into the rest of the season.

55-7
