If the Louisville coach calls the timeout after the 1st down play Cardinals save almost 40 seconds. You would think either the head coach or one of those jackass assistants would have enough sense. I guess you can tell I had Louisville on the moneyline, only for a small amount but did bet big on +9 today.

I thought the same thing, cost them at least two plays on offense, probably three. Not sure of the logic behind that move, especially when the clock stops after each first down.

God I hate Miami - always seem to luck out somehow at home. Although I was on the Cardinals last night, I still felt like I lost afterwards b/c I wanted Louisville to win outright so bad.

Should of let Gore walk in on 1st down and used a TO after the 4th down catch - would of saved em 20-25 seconds or so.

Even Mike Turico, a fish out of water when it comes to football, was screaming for them to use a TO...hats off to him for the fake punt call earlier, but not using TOs at end when Miami was first and goal was a major screw-up...

Sorry not sure what you mean by luck out ? They scored 34 points in the 2H ? Luck or Devon Hester and big dose of Berlin....and #3 in the country

I guess "luck out" aren't exactly the words I should of used :rolleyes:

It just seems like Miami always finds a way to win those close ones at home. Way before I even knew what a point spread was, I was watching college football as a kid, and always routing for the underdog when they went down and played Miami. Felt the same way last year after sitting on my couch screaming for WVU to make a play at the end, and I didn?t even bet on that game, but Miami finds a way to win ? I guess that makes a good team great. I dunno. That second fumble LeFlors gave back to em on their own 20 was nice though.

I actually think "Luck" was a good word used. Brock threw a duck over the WR and into the hands to the Safety and the guy dropped it. He catches that one like he did in the first half and it's game over! So I would say even though he played well he got lucky. JMHO
