And I’m very happy to leave you this message to say how much we are very proud of what you’ve accomplished over the years. Over the Los Angeles Clippers’ last three games, they have been without their primary backup point guard Austin Rivers .
The Hurricanes (8-4) say it’s now time to finish the season by doing something they haven’t done in a decade – win a postseason bowl game.
Orange wind warning in place as Storm Frank approaches
The Met Office has issued an amber “be prepared” warning of persistent rain covering the areas for much of Wednesday. Storm Frank has been brewing across the Atlantic and is set to hit the country overnight on Tuesday (December 29).
Washington State (9-4) bounced back from last season’s 3-9 record to reach a bowl game for the second time in the three seasons under coach Mike Leach. Scott overcame adversity and led all Miami receivers in yards with 75-yards. There are people that have played in tougher conditions than we have this year.
Miami Hurricanes recorded 281.9 passing yards and 119.5 rushing yards while allowed 195.9 passing yards and 210.8 russhing yards with turnover differential of -1.1.
“I think guys understand when somebody goes down, it could have been anything, it could have been an injury, a guy could have gotten sick at the last minute, a guy has to step into those roles”, Scott said on the nature of Carter being sent home.
Despite Kaaya’s disappointing numbers, he’s still just a sophomore who threw for over 3,000 yards this season and has shown enough potential to get better with the right coach and system. He leads the nation’s top-ranked passing offense (397 yards per game) with a nation-leading 4,266 yards and 36 TDs with eight interceptions. Cougars cornerback Marcellus Pippins pounced on it, and even though Miami took back over after a WSU three-and-out, the defense stood firm again.
As the Hurricanes took the field for their first possession, the snow began to fall, but that didn’t stop Miami from matching the Cougars’ score.
He spent two seasons at Washington State. On the next play, quarterback Brad Kaaya threw left to Coley for a TD that could’ve given the Hurricanes the lead, but it was called back for a block-in-the-back penalty. Washington State is playing in its second bowl game in 12 years, so I’m thinking we’re still at the point of being excited to play a bonus game in December no matter where it is. He has passed such notables as Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde on Miamis all-time list.Theyve got good speed and theyre big up front, Washington State defensive coordinator Alex Grinch said. Mark Walton scored on the next play to cut it to 20-14 with 13:10 to go.
As the blowing snow made it hard to see down the field, Washington State turned to the running game and quick passes to preserve its lead.
My hats off to interim head coach Larry Scott for an admirable showing, having his team continue to fight game after game after the firing of Al Golden.
Remarkably, Washington State is only 1-3 SU in games where it comes out ahead in the turnover battle, yet undefeated (6-0 SU) when losing the turnover battle.
