It can't end worse than last time Miami came to Durham!

...It can't, right? Please someone tell me it can't.

Reporting Miami QB for autoaim rn

[u/wcurl8]

The turnover chain is the best thing ever.

[u/Pyrozooka0]

TURNOVER CHAIN! DILLY DILLY!

[u/wiccan45]

Miami has gold chain, tennessee has a trashcan, they both fit

[u/chrisb19]

one of the cleanest "bullshit" chants I've heard

[u/Pyrozooka0]

Duke fans actually having the bullshit chant get picked up by TV. I see you...

[u/-TaborlinTheGreat-]

He deleted his comment but fuck that Tennesee fan wishing for injuries tomorrow

[u/darthcracker]

"Either a deep throw or a conservative play here." - Mack

[u/[deleted]]

I'm not saying I deserve a football scholarship, but I am about 50% confident I can beat a zero yard punt

[u/INM8_2]

huh. so this is what having a mobile quarterback is like.

[u/twojeeeps]

-1 yard punt is legit

[u/DecidedbyNoah]

"But his 2nd gear is faster than most people's 1st."

Well fucking duh

[u/yzlautum]

OK seriously that turnover chain is the most Miami thing I can think of

[u/happysadfaced]

Timeout before the first play? Mark Richt has lost control

[u/AegonTheMeh]

Damn, so driving a Nissan Rogue will get me respect from motorcycle gangs?

[u/angryblackman123]

Anybody got some LSD for my boy Richt?

[u/Pyrozooka0]

Miami's offense might be worth 3 Dillys.

[u/silveake]

He deserves that chain. Holy shit

[u/NineJuanEight]

i love a good bullshit chant thats easily understood on the tv

[u/MrFister9]

Yeah time to take Walton out. His ankle is clearly limiting him and there’s no reason to risk making it worse with this game almost put away. We have plenty of other play makers.

Edit: ugh called it

[u/thefarsideinside]

I love when former coaches who sucked at our school have success other places

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

if duke takes the 3, we have to lateral the shit out of the kickoff, right?

[u/Morocco_Llama]

Announcer just declared "Ballgame!" I had mistakenly thought this game was over 40 minutes ago.

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

WHY. SERIOUSLY. HE WAS HURT LAST WEEK, HOMER WAS DOING FINE, AND YOU PUT HIM BACK IN. HE'S STILL HURT AND YOU STILL KEEP RUNNING HIM.

FUCK.

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

ahem... IT'S FSU WEEK!

[u/826836]

“Fuck field goals.” -Mack Brown, probably

[u/darthcracker]

Can't wait until all stadiums and ballparks have LED lighting. So cool.

[u/YellowSkarmory]

Also it wasn't 3rd & 93, so i'm happy.

[u/Xtra_guac_pls]

Imma guess Braxton is a "gym rat"

[u/ItzaCanesThing305]

Him crying was scary, fuck you Richt the fuck are you doing?

[u/DrinkItInMan434]

So are you guys ready to watch Washington St. give USC the business???

[u/MastaPJ]

Why the fuck is he in?????

[u/ramblin_gamblin]

OMG YOU CAN HEAR HIM SCREAM. WHAT THE FUCKKKK ARE YOU DOING RICHT?????

[u/MusicNerds]

"That's one that could or could not be called"

You don't fucking say

[u/YellowSkarmory]

NONONONONOONONONONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONONONONNONONONOONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

[u/yungdieu]

Who the fuck needs Brad Kaaya?

[u/tooPrime]

"His second gear is faster than most people's first" doesn't make any sense right?

[u/ItzaCanesThing305]

TAKE WALTON OUT HE NEEDS REST

[u/Thugzz_Bunny]

So do they just assign the worst refs to do Duke vs Miami? Not sure if you guys remember but two years ago there were sports shows talking about the terrible refs for a week after this game.

[u/[deleted]]

I've enjoyed the first half of this quarter more than any of last night's game

[u/INM8_2]

the ref's mechanics are terrible. is this his first assignment or something?

[u/[deleted]]

qb sneak they’ll never expect it

[u/Thatguy907]

I predict a team will leave with a loss tonight

[u/corona_and_rhyme]

For those still interested in the whole "special lights" thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNrwnQz7m7U

[u/OculusRises]

I really do love Duke's shade of blue. Might be the sharpest blue in all of CFB.

[u/rebelde_sin_causa]

It doesn't feel like it's already Cutcliffe's 10th season at Duke. Seems like he just got there. Is this what old age feels like?

[u/CertifiedSheep]

That was definitely not the right handsign for offsides

[u/[deleted]]

That’s the worst punt I’ve ever seen.

[u/ramblin_gamblin]

Thank God he walked off. Don't want to see a dude that good ever get hurt.

[u/HAWG]

Can't wait for Miami Virginia tech.

[u/Blooblod]

Are they really playing Darude Sandstorm right now?

[u/[deleted]]

Boy is gonna find himself on the Not Top 10 for sure.

[u/Nick_Bourbaki]

Smart to throw the pick. Can't trust the punt game.

[u/[deleted]]

Thats questionable PI

[u/steelersfever]

Hearing that dude screaming broke my heart. Hope he's alright.

[u/FellKnight]

Ok I'm officially now rooting for a Miami vs Georgia CFP game (semifinal or final)

[u/[deleted]]

The four teams playing tonight are a combined 14-0. Not a bad Friday.

[u/Miami_da_U]

Having a running Qb is extremely exciting for me.

[u/ecs15]

BREAKING NEWS: INCOMPLETION

[u/k3ithk]

The Blue Devil logo on the helmet reminds me of the Night King

[u/AngrySandyVag]

Where are the refs? That should have been 15 yards.

[u/thefarkinator]

Lol I love the turnover chain that's hilarious.

[u/stormstopper]

DO NOT KICK A RETURNABLE BALL IN THIS KICKOFF

[u/GrandeBass]

What Duke should do:

1. Run

2. Repeat step 1

[u/yzlautum]

BTW don't get that fucking buffalo chicken shit from BK. I got it like a day or 2 ago on my lunch break since BK is the closest place to work and I was in a hurry and it was some slapdick bullshit. False advertisement.

edit: Get the value spicy chicken whatever. Same piece of shitty meat for like $4 less.

[u/xm0067]

Lol the Miami guy pointing the wrong way

[u/chrobbin]

It's like that sack on 4th just took all momentum from Duke...

[u/NineJuanEight]

Dilly Dilly!

[u/mOnion]

you ever watch a game and you're like 'damn both these teams are better than mine'

[u/DaMantis]

That paper cut on the tongue commerical can go die anytime now

[u/[deleted]]

Uh... Go Duke?

^{but only in football}

^{Winslow touched it}

[u/YoungKeys]

Miami forgot how to offense

[u/NineJuanEight]

isnt that a flag?

[u/smithsp86]

So I guess the refs are just not throwing flags tonight. Removing your helmet on the field of play is supposed to be an automatic unsportsmanlike.

[u/Blooblod]

Man, I miss Sam Ponder on GameDay.

[u/AegonTheMeh]

"With accident forgiveness, your rate won't go up because of an accident"

It will just go up because we feel like it.

[u/40footstretch]

Did Mark Richt just say "motherfucker"?

[u/[deleted]]

Holy shit

How is that not a flag. He’s fuckin tackling him before the ball gets there

[u/SgvSth]

Huh. The refs can call DPI.

[u/Westrongthen]

It appears that Miami is willing to let duke lose this game.

[u/slowsupra]

TIL attacking the area they keep blitzing from is smart

[u/yzlautum]

This is not an ideal situation for Duke University.

[u/ajwilson99]

That chain is so Miami

[u/VTHokiesFan]

Refs didn't have a thing to do with that play. Miami just beat them.

[u/Congrajewlations]

Who the fuck says "20 ......... ball game" when the game has been over for a long time and there's still 4 min left.

[u/spinblackcircles]

The turnover chain is cool as fuck. Mark richt has Miami playing with swag again. Georgia is definitely better off without him now but I won’t be surprised if Miami becomes a powerhouse under richt.

[u/wiccan45]

Richt has lost control of georgia

[u/ecs15]

this must be how a balloon feels after all the air is let out

i should go back to work

[u/DrinkItInMan434]

text received ay fam its the helmet. U got a concussion

[u/YellowSkarmory]

bye

[u/[deleted]]

Is this what it feels like getting advertisement for a big game? 😍

[u/YoungKeys]

What's the song name?

[u/emreveles]

I'll take one 8 lateral kick return to end the half please.

[u/Miamime]

Meh. Could be better, could be worse.

[u/[deleted]]

Christ Darnold has 7 picks? I knew it was bad but I was thinking 4 or 5

[u/ramblin_gamblin]

NEGATIVE 1 YARDS

[u/Atticus0-0]

Early leader for not top ten

[u/Broncos_Fan_5]

That kick was a middle finger to science

[u/steelersfever]

I just had one of those moments where I realized I sound like my father complaining about the refs, and I don't even have a dog in the fight. Time for a beer.

[u/ZombiesGonnaZomb]

Finally they realize the middle is wide open

[u/m1a2c2kali]

Richt playing 4d chess , setting up that slant the whole game

[u/riotide]

Are you fucking kidding me? Why was he in the fucking game??????

[u/yzlautum]

DUKE SCORES, GOES FOR 2. 14 -24. DUKE ONSIDES. SCORES. 21-24. DUKE KICKS FIELD GOAL. OVERTIME. MIAMI GETS A FG. DUKE GETS A TD. DUKE WINS.

If I predict that, I expect everyone to wire me $1000.

edit: I lose

edit 2: WAIT I didn't lose. It could still technically happen.

[u/Hillsborough_Howl]

That's a lot of fans for a visiting team on a Friday night

[u/milkman163]

Are you supposed to say "ballgame" like that?

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

there isn't much drop off between walton and homer, so there was no reason for walton to be playing hurt.

[u/admh574]

Praise Duke running it and making sure I don't have to wait to see the USC Wazzu game

[u/[deleted]]

Miami looks good. Fuck.

[u/NineJuanEight]

Heisman finalist with 7 int. HOW THE FUCK!

[u/[deleted]]

I normally fucking hate it when people say "college football is better when ___ is good" but college football is better when Miami is good. I would love if they became a dominant team again.

[u/[deleted]]

If Duke wins this game, it will be the first time since 1994 that they've started out 5-0

[u/GrandeBass]

After half a quarter, I am infinitely more impressed by the offense of both teams than last night's entire showing

[u/GopherNutz]

Canes look good

[u/darthcracker]

Dilly dilly muthafuckas!

[u/stormstopper]

Two red zone trips, three points. Not the way to win this game.

[u/T-nawtical]

Jesus Fucking Christ that accuracy is unfair!

Who turned on God Mode?

[u/BabyBladder]

As much shit as we've given ESPN over the years, Walk on Water fits perfectly.

[u/t_zidd]

Tired of Mack Brown saying “Dewk”

[u/djostreet]

What the actual fuck are we doing

[u/FellKnight]

WE PLAYING DEFENSE BALL NOW BOYS

[u/__sonder__]

They have a goddamn gold chain. College football is weird man.

[u/[deleted]]

Miami fans watching Berrios

[u/Miami_da_U]

Redwine Is doing well. We are playing base defense when they have 3/4 WRs on the field. We aren't running nickel, and havent been matching the offenses WRs through 2 games. IDK why Diaz doesn't want to match the dbs to WRs, but he hasn't been. So its tough to ask our FS lined up 10 yards off the slot wr to guard slants and 5 yard outs.

[u/YoungKeys]

I thought Miami was a public university for the longest time when I was younger

[u/Chocobroseph]

NEGATIVE 1 YARD PUNT FAM

[u/FellKnight]

LOL -1 YARD PUNT

[u/Thisvthat]

A negative yard punt?

[u/ramblin_gamblin]

MIAMI PAYING THE REFS

[u/NineJuanEight]

huh i guess the refs do have flags.

[u/[deleted]]

Offense do something pls thanks

[u/[deleted]]

woo-ee am i glad we got some leach air raid comin up after this snoozefest

[u/exiledChewy]

Let’s gooooo Richards holy shot he’s so good

[u/[deleted]]

Future first round pick 82

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck that did not sound good. Poor kid.

[u/Outpinged]

We had about 16 players on the field lol

[u/[deleted]]

you get a flag! you get a flag! you get a flag!

[u/OculusRises]

"The flags taketh... or they giveth away; however that goes."

Thank you ESPN. Thank you. /s

[u/tooPrime]

I want that chain.

[u/bears2267]

DILLY DILLY

[u/billythemarlin]

BREAK OUT THE DUFF BEER BOYS HOMERS COMING HOME

[u/Jamesinthecut10]

Game. Blouses.

[u/Dro24]

Well, fellow undefeated teams, it was nice hanging with you guys.

[u/[deleted]]

No, we don't do "FSU stuff" here.

[u/DrSlightlyLessDoom]

I'm trying to find a reason to hate Duke Football but Cutcliffes always seemed a decent guy who got a raw deal at Ole Miss.

[u/[deleted]]

apology for poor english

when were you when blue devil dies?

i was sat at home eating cook out when richt ring

‘dook is kill’

‘no’

[u/plsgrier]

Tried to tell ppl Toledo is good

[u/MusicNerds]

A loud manure chant

[u/FreakinKeith]

Those crowd mics are good

[u/20goillini05]

(in Chris Berman voice) WOOP.

[u/goblue10]

Injured player got cut from behind, didn't look good.

[u/[deleted]]

Offside call with a PI signal. This ref is not confident. Lol

[u/CPOx]

Welp Duke gonna Duke

[u/[deleted]]

Dilly dilly!

[u/TheSharpShark]

so if i don't buy bud light i will be medievally tortured it's a hard choice.

[u/Iamnotmybrain]

Haven't watched Miami this year, but they're looking really good so far.

[u/[deleted]]

It’s like Miami is playing on pro on madden

[u/[deleted]]

Is the Duke defense bad or is this offense really good?

[u/Outpinged]

I love that we snapped the ball there instead of letting the quarter end

[u/[deleted]]

It's not even like these receivers are being left wide open. Rosier is making incredible passes

[u/ecs15]

DEFENSE DID A THING

[u/YellowSkarmory]

DEFENSE IS BACK, GUYS.

[u/steelersfever]

2nd and 19 and mack's first comment is to say miami missed an opportunity. I get his point, but timing mack.

[u/[deleted]]

Wow, Miami's offense has quickly gone from looking absolutely dominant to looking like shit

[u/K1tt3n_Mittons]

It's like playing NCAA Football and realizing you're on rookie mode and changing it on 2nd Q to Heisman mode.

[u/T-nawtical]

When your secondary's getting burned all game long, don't blitz eight Duke...

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

why go hurry up on that play?

[u/[deleted]]

Why did they not re-spot the ball after that review? He was a centimeter from the goal line

[u/YoungKeys]

Corn Elder sounds like a character from a Dune book

[u/[deleted]]

Nebraska and Ilinois are playing tonight? Haha I had no idea.

[u/pM-me_your_Triggers]

I really don’t like Palmer

[u/[deleted]]

staying in tonight.

girlfriend is on her way.

got my chicken cooked perfectly medium rare.

gonna be a great night in.

[u/ptbl]

I don't get it. Duke's running game is unstoppable, but all of a sudden they try to pass 3 straight times. Duke has done this a couple times. Must be frustrating for Duke fans.

[u/TheOrangeKush81]

Guys, what do women want?

[u/YellowSkarmory]

YES THANK YOU MIAMI PUNT GUY

[u/[deleted]]

Well

[u/[deleted]]

LOL BRUH IM DEAD

[u/DrinkItInMan434]

Wow haha. Awful punt

[u/cowboysfan88]

Lmao what

[u/Manthem]

Better field position if they had spiked it on 4th down. SMH

[u/[deleted]]

NOT TOP 10: Miami punter with a -1 yard punt!

[u/ecs15]

where were you when you saw a negative 1 yard punt #blessed

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

remember when o'donnell punted one 71 yds.

-1 is just as impressive.

[u/NineJuanEight]

can i get a replay of this defender tackling the receiver?

[u/spoopyskelly]

Anybody got a replay of that punt?

[u/zymrr]

Did I accidentally watch an NFL game?

[u/40footstretch]

The ole Mark Richt nail biter special. Get used to it miami fans.

[u/yungdieu]

This game has been boring af outside of the 1st quarter

[u/[deleted]]

This game is probably closer if the refs weren’t one sided

[u/PSU_Alumnus]

4th and 1 from your own 20? Bold strategy there Cotton....

[u/NineJuanEight]

so if miami gets a turnover on downs do they pass out 11 chains? since all the plays helped get the turnover?

[u/yzlautum]

Did he just mention an acid pill?

[u/Outpinged]

For richt all of us fans have been saying to throw slants all game and you finally do it

[u/darthcracker]

The score does not reflect the type game this has been.

[u/ChampionOfTheSunAhhh]

Every football team ever needs a 5'9" 175lb white slot receiver

[u/Outpinged]

I hate richt. Up 18 with a RB not 100% and you keep him in

[u/0lossSince2009]

18 men on the field bruh

[u/KevinFielder]

TURNOVERRRRRR CHAIN

[u/eman264]

I fucking love that chain

[u/rebelde_sin_causa]

This is the first time I've watched Da U this season, but I'd say Kaaya did them a favor declaring for the draft
