Indy Bowl

La Tech vs Miami

Watching the Indy and La Tech sure can compete with Miami. They have consistently good teams that look and play the part.

FIU beat Miami, lost to Arkansas State, and finished the year at 6-7.  Miami is no longer a juggernaut.

[DeepGreen]

No, but how would we stack up against Miami?  Visions of NM State from last year.

[meanrob]

And this Miami team throttled FSU.

I guess you mean Utah State in the New Mexico Bowl?

2018 Utah State would murder this Miami or LaTech team.

 

2019 Miami is 6-6.

2018 USU was 11-2, only losing by 7 at #11 Michigan, and by 8 at #21 Boise State.  They ended the year ranked #22.

Miami and FSU are both 6-6 ACC teams.  Both better teams than we are, but all four of these teams (NT, FSU, Miami, and LaTech) would get buried by 2018 Utah State.

They lost by 7 to Michigan State.

My bad, but that still was #11 MSU, who beat Michigan.

Not meaning to dogpile on you but if you're talking 2018 Michigan State, there's no way they finished #11(they went 8-5) and they lost to Michigan that year. 

To your point, USU was very good that year. Hope we have an offense like that soon. 

 

I'm glad I'm only following this lousy bowl game online.

La Tech keeping it on the ground, keeping the clock moving, not turning the ball over, winning the field position battle and playing solid defense.  

7-0 Dawgs going into the 4th quarter.

They were #11 at the time USU beat them.   When USU lost to Boise, Boise was #21, but they ended up #18. 

You are right, MSU lost to UM in 2018, I misread the schedule.

That's mainly because Miami missed a couple of throws that should have been picks.

And as I type that they do exactly what did not get them to the 4th quarter with the lead,...Get stupid and pass when they didn’t need to, while in field goal range and turned it over.

Yes.  My mistype.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.....just don't get it. LaTech gets another bowl win. Why not we???

 

 

[Mean Green Matt]

Why does Skip Holtz never get any attention for moving up?

[Graddean]

Regardless of Miami’ s record, this is a good win for CUSA.

Opponents have a lot to do with it. 

Our last two bowls we faced USU (finish 11-2), and Troy (11-2).

LaTech has faced Miami (6-7), and Hawaii (8-6).

As crazy as it seems, LaTech fan board wants to run him off.   In 7 years at LaTech, he has won at least 9 games 4 times, but he has never won the CUSA championship game.

Absolutely!  La Tech just knocked off a $94 Million budgeted athletic program with a coach making $750k.

Great game plan, great season for the bulldogs.

Fans are weird.  We had a guy who won the conference 4 straight years and there were people ready to run him out of town ASAP.

If you want to cheer on another G5, Eastern Michigan is about to take on Pitt.

How does La Tech do so much more with so much less?? Imagine what that AD/HC Football program as a whole would do with our facilities and location?? 🧐

Let’s go after their head coach.
