Boise State coach expresses familiar concern about Miami
By Pete Conrad
Boise State football coach Chris Petersen voiced a concern about his team’s upcoming game against the MiamI RedHawks.
“The hard thing for us is knowing exactly what they’re all about,” Petersen said, referring to the fact that the RedHawks have a new coach and a new offense. “They have an offense that has multiple looks with a lot of skill guys. We don’t have a handle.
“We’re still trying to figure our team out as well,” he said. “The combination of that and not totally knowing what Miami is all about is a concern for us.”
Kentucky coach Rich Brooks had said essentially the same thing the week before about the RedHawks.
Little good it did them. After holding their own for about a quarter and a half, the roof fell in on the RedHawks, who lost 42-0.
“They didn’t really understand everything we were doing,” Miami coach Mike Haywood said of the Wildcats, “but once they got up they were able to blitz more, use a little bit of creativity … They got on the aggressive end and now we’re trying to hold on.”
In that case, trying wasn’t enough. Over the last three quarters Kentucky out-gained Miami in total yards 424 to 90.
