  You left to early. Three late tds to come back from a 20 point deficit.  Ward had his best game of the year.

I fell asleep when they got back to 32-38, iirc.  Lol.  I mean, I saw some NFL throws and I love the bounce back from adversity, but overall, he kind of falls in line with the majority of this QB class...  there's just something missing.  Nothing like a Cam or AR where they're physically superhuman and just have to refine, and no otherworldly accuracy/awareness like a Stroud.  It feels like most of this upcoming class are really good, but nothing is "wow!" about them.  I like Ward, and compared to guys like Beck, yeah, I take Ward all day...  but I don't get crazy excited about the idea, snd I wouldn't bet it's a quick process.

Still, amazing grit, heart, and an incredible comeback.

How so?

What do you mean how so? Back to back weeks in ACC play the game has come down to a play late under review….that the masses all see as the review being handled wrong and in Miami’s favor to thus get the win. 

now you can argue refs get plays wrong all game.  They do.  But once it goes to review? That’s viewed differen.  There wasn’t the evidence to overturn that TD under review last week and that should have been targeting called this week. 

so yeah, if the call the majority of football fans think should of been made during review was…..Miami is 0-2

If he would just take the check down throw he'd be running away with the Heisman trophy (and Miami wouldn't be in these close games).

He's just playing hero ball.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
