"The U Got Lucky and Made The Highlight Reel "Forever".
At the end of the University of Miami/Duke football, I'm sure that I was like many Cane Fans. I turned the game off with a little bit of disgust. Duke had driven down the field and scored a touchdown with the aid of about three pass interference calls and a questionable touchdown run with almost no time left. The Canes were penalized 23 times during the game. A sloppy game at best with three good drives and a reasonable defensive effort but the Canes gave up a 24-12 lead. Enough of this.
I sat in a dark living room. Disappointed. The lads had figured out a way to blow a game they should have won, on the road, against a ranked team. Duke being ranked ahead of the "U" was probably a good enough reason for Al Golden to have been fired. Last week's loss to a good Clemson team wasn't a big surprise. The margin of the defeat was the shocker.
In bed, I thought about American Pharoah. Well, at least he won impressively, at odds of 3/5.
I turned on WQAM radio. The post game locker room show was joyous and I was confused. How could that be. Had the officials changed their minds after reviewing what they had already reviewed was a Blue Devil touchdown. It took a while to sink in that something miraculous had happened between turning off the TV.
I got out of bed to discover what I had missed. Eight "laterals" a Duke team that seemed as confused as the referees and a UM Special team that didn't quit and got lucky.
THE "U" now has an answer to Doug Flute and a bad loss to Ohio State. You will be seeing that replay for a long time!
Final score Miami 30 - Duke 27.
