I like the cut of Ryan Williams' jib. I'd much rather have him on the team than Forcier.
Losing Storm Johnson is a pretty big blow. RB depth is a concern.

Yup the 2012 QB battle shall be a good one. Storm Johnson is a pussy bitch we should be alright in terms of depth this year. Next year we get Duke Johnson who is going to be the next big thingComment

A Miami fan who gets it
THIS IS THE COLUMNThis is incredibly rare. Granted Brian covers the team, so he has a better understanding than most fans.
The facts are pretty much undeniable. The "Big Three" is gone. It's now a "Big Two" and a "Middle Three" (Miami, USF, UCF).
Miami had more scholarship seniors this year than FSU and UF combined. They weren't young. Miami isn't building. It just had its best team it will have for a while.
Miami needs to replace those departing players with a huge class of talented recruits. Are they doing that? No:
68% of UM's non-kicking recruits are rated 3-stars or worse
15% of FSU's non-kicking recruits are rated 3-stars or worse
13% of UF's non-kicking recruits are rated 3-stars or worse
And the sanctions have not even been levied yet. While it likely won't be the death penalty, it will certainly be crippling for a half-decade or greater.
Now, through some creative use of 6th-year medical redshirts, the Canes can probably get some of those seniors to come back, which will help them be better than expected next year.
And FSU should raise its expectations somewhat because of this
I’ve seen several strange things in my years but I’m not sure anything could top what happened Friday night as Miami was losing to Boston College.
Miami is down ten in the 4th quarter, to a team they should have beat the you-know-what out of ,and all of a sudden my email box clicked.
I looked down and sure enough, Al Golden had signed on the dotted line and gotten a contract extension. Obviously, the original intention could not have been to release this information in the middle of the game, however, with the game in doubt, and the Penn State rumors heating up, the Miami PR machine did their own conga and got that release out.
It was like they were saying,” please pay no attention to the game in which our team is losing to an inferior opponent. Al is signed. Al is signed. Al is signed.” This was the same PR machine that allowed several players to address the media after the game with out prepping them by telling them coach had signed a contract and we might ask about it.
After the game, a few of us grabbed dinner, unable to determine if The U did the right thing or not. The next day, I sat on the couch all day watching college football, and I still couldn’t come to a conclusion. Sunday? More of the same. Monday? I still have no idea.
Like you, I’m clinging to Golden’s “Process.”
Yes, Jacory Harris got a lot better. Yes, the turnovers were cut in half. Yes, the penalties were down. I saw all that.
But I also saw a tight end position that didn’t develop at all. I saw offensive linemen continue to make the same mistakes, game after game after game. I saw a defense that looked lost at times, and dominant at others.
I know there were extreme circumstances going on, but the bottom line is the team was 6-6 and in many cases a 6-6 record gets you fired. In other cases, especially where it’s your first year as a coach, 6-6 gets you put on notice that next year better be a hell of a lot better.
