Not sure if anyone is watching but Miami is in dumpster fire mode. La Tech not much better.

This game, Miami in particular set football back 50 years with that performance. Just got done washing my eyes out after having to watch that. GO APPS!!

Maybe Zion wants to transfer back to where he should’ve been as a freshman!

I'm a fan of defensive football game. However that was an atrocious offering by both offenses.

Did everyone notice when Pitt made a great play and several players celebrated in the endzone like we did in our bowl the game. The refs slapped every player with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty meaning if any of them get another such penalty they would be out of the game. I love that. It's a team sport and I would love to keep the Pro-show boating out of it. That is the reason I prefer college over the pro's now a days. Play with class boys.

I did not even think about him to pay attention. How did he do? I was not impressed with their offense at all.

I didn’t watch the game, but I would have guessed the penalty was due to the Pitt players interfering with a game between Miami and Louisiana Tech.

Did they kill your grass while celebrating?

What about the dog pile after the Pick Six at South Carolina?

Back in my day, players celebrated The Right Way: by handing the ball to the ref and walking back to the sideline alone with a look of grim determination on their faces.

Being born in the 90's, I saw the proliferation of the celebration. I was at the "Row Boat" game where Smith ran all over Smoot. I was a big fan of Moss (because I played receiver) and wore 84; his celebrations were obvious.

And how can we forget 2016 where FTC with John Law and Marcus Cox was the thing?

Come on son.

Now seriously, get off my lawn. Just seeded everything.

According to his bio on the Miami website, he started each game this year.

Come on you’ve got to love it when a team is losing by 40 and a guy on that squad makes a tackle, gets up thumping his chest and celebrates like he just won the Super Bowl.

I like the celebrations with the team, it's the showboating for the cameras that show no class. Yes, it was the Quick Lane Bowl not the Independence Bowl.

One thread to discuss both games is plenty.

I remember seeing him start the first game this year. Glad to see he had a good year. I knew Miami was awful and in terms of playing time he made a good choice because he would have probably redshirted at App.
