2000 Miami Game, QB contrast etc
The contrast between Tuiasosopo and Browning is stark. Tui, as we all know, just knew what to do when. He knew how to play football. He knew when to throw at a receiver and draw an interference penalty. He was a wizard with the option (give or take a few fuckups). It's great watching a quarterback who can play the game. Browning ultimately should be a coach. He knows what he should do, but doesn't have the instinct to come through.
The announcers praised helmet to helmet contact. Now you hear Brock Huard throwing hissy fits about it.
The game was a lot better when there were no fucking goddamn stoppages to review every fucking goddamn call. Yes, there were mistakes, but there are WAY too many fucking stoppages now. A situation like the "challenge flag" in the NFL was better.
Lambo had assembled a damn good team, and he should be given credit. Those were Lambos recruits mostly. The line was awesome. The secondary was good, and it is strange to think that Williams and Vonture (who were big contributors) are already gone.

We would have lost that game to Miami by a minimum of 14 pts in an AIDS ridden neutral venue east of the Rockies.
P.S. Fuck of @TierbsHsotBoobs . I am right on this. -
If we played Miami at home ten times, we lose 8 or 9.YellowSnow said:We would have lost that game to Miami by a minimum of 14 pts in an AIDS ridden neutral venue east of the Rockies.

I was shocked and awed when we won that game. But we did and now @creepycoug has to really respeck us from here to eternity. 2-1 sugar canes.RoadDawg55 said:

Lambo had lost the team … Slick was the fresh voice that the team needed. But giving Lambo too much credit is crap because Lambo's recruiting lived off Don James for the most part.
That Miami team was as loaded of a team as I've ever seen. It was a perfect storm of events that got us a win that day ranging from Butch Davis making idiotic comments to it being Ken Dorsey's first road start and having the deer in headlights look going for the balance of the first half. I remember the crowd getting in early for the game … the student section was almost full 90 minutes before game time. There was a feeling of willing the team to victory in the air.
We were good enough to play with them in large part because of Tui. But that's a game that as @RoadDawg55 said we're looking at winning 1 to 2 times out of 10. -
I didn't say Lambo would have won if he was coaching. I just said he got those recruits in there. I also didn't say we'd win x out of y attempts or all that crap. The crowd was a huge factor. I think I can hear myself in the noise.
If you have an hour or so, watch the first half. What impresses me still about Tui was that I never thought he had a great arm, and he wasn't a gifted runner. What he DID do so well was that he simply DID THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME. That's what you do in football to win. It sounds simple that is the recipe for success. If a guy was open he got him the ball. If there was open field he'd run it or get it to somebody who could run it. If the situation called for ball control he wouldn't fumble. He wouldn't get sacked with no time on the clock.
In other words what our ? present QB doesn't do....

Who cares? He had plenty of time to demonstrate over and over that he couldn't win consistently. Rick took those players to heights Lambo never would have. Rick's willingness to abandon his offensive system and run the option with Tui is the sole reason that team played so far above it's heads, and was flexibility, creativity and humility Lambo never once demonstrated.ApostleofGrief said:I didn't say Lambo would have won if he was coaching.

That was RN's team. Lambo deserves no credit for it. -
the main reason I made the post was not to talk about Lambo but show the quarterback contrast and the refreshing way the game was played before constant stoppages, pre era stadiums built for advertising and secondarily football, and helmet collision banning.The whole show was better then. I was OK with Lambo but when he called the fake punt in the last bowl I had enough.HillsboroDuck said:
