Horrible bowl name, but the best matchup outside the NY6 (only one involving two ranked team). We're apparently favored by 1 point. Not sure why. Hubbard won't play. Tylan Wallace will play. Spencer Sanders is still a turnover machine. Gundy tends to let loose in meaningless bowl games so maybe we will actually have a decent offensive performance. Either way, hopefully it's a good mid-afternoon game before you guys throttle Colorado.

Miami players faking injuries. They are terrified of Big 12 defenses.

Back-up QBs are known Poke killers. I'm concerned.

Teams don't usually prepare for the backup qb.

That miami qb is 6'4" and 190. He may get broken in half.

They played a bowl in Phoenix that was sponsored by cheez-it.  Don’t know if it’s the same one.

Jesus, zero pocket presence. That's at least 10 times this season he does not feel the backside pressure.

If he has a history of knee injuries, I don't think he should come back.  
These boring commentators said he doesn't.

If he’s fortunate.
Sure. It looked like it buckled just before the hit. That's more of a September injury and not December.

That may have been the Cheese-Zit bowl, underwritten by Proactiv.

Not from what I’ve seen with the offense we found the most success with.  Illingworth is slow but more Rudolph/Weeden than Zac Robinson but we’ve mostly rolled with Sanders as Gundy wants to run instead of air raid it out like we did a decade ago winning the conference.

I've held out hope that Sanders would get better between the earholes, which is his problem, takes too long to decide to run or pass, takes too many sacks, and his interceptions are usually because of late passes or bad decisions. I've pretty much lost hope now. I hope Illingsworth gets a fair shake in the offseason.

Did this guy just say King may come back in the second half to play in this game?  No, he won't.  He won't risk his future for a cracker bowl.  If he does, he shouldn't get drafted due to incompetence.

The question is, can the 2nd half be played in under 90 minutes?

According to my in depth research of following Twitter feeds that was a different bowl game

He's rushing things now.  He hasn't settled down, he has sped up.  I don't know why he's rushing things because his accuracy is now off.

Guys don't announce that they're coming back for a covid super senior year if they're drawing much draft interest

I agree but add in that we haven’t had a Holgy or Monken to tell Gundy to shut up and color while OC.  The first quarter seemed to fit our personnel and stretched the field, but the 2nd was ‘ok we have a lead, let’s burn clock and get out of here...whaddya mean there’s 3 quarters left?’   For ages that’s been one of only two real critiques I have of the man...the other being management of starting quarterbacks.  
 

If we go out trying every play in the book and lean on what’s working (passing game so far today for the most part), I’m ok with that.  If we play loose, run up the score, then try to burn clock before it’s even halftime then I get pissy.

I like how the Miami player gives the horse collar motion, then struggles and can't possibly get up, then sees the flag, and suddenly bounces up with no problem.

Which is good for the Pokes, since they seem open quite a bit.

True.  I also don't think he plays qb at the next level.  His best bet would be slot or scatback but this hurts that long shot. 

Going forward, if you're Miami, would you look forward to a qb with two injuries to the same knee returning?  I'd move on.

3 and out by Miami's defense. Busted the line on 1st and 2nd down, and Sanders cut his throwing hand on 3rd down.

Miami could be in the lead if any of their receivers had caught the balls that have been on target by the backup.
