Miami (FL) vs Florida: Hurricanes bury the Gators in their swamp

Introduction and Miami's Victory The Bear Of Texas (00:02.094) Okay everybody, are we ready for   verdict number two of the day? Another rather  unique sports verdict? The Miami Hurricanes   destroying the Florida Gators? Well, here we  go. 41 to 17. You know, and I don't even know   what the big story is out of this whole situation.  The Gators being destroyed at home at the swamp. or the fact that a ninth -year senior tie  -it -in Cam McCormick scored Miami's first   touchdown of the season. Cam McCormick,  the longest tenured player in the history   of college football in his ninth year. I  didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't   even know that was possible to be eligible  to play college football for that long. But understanding the injury history and all  the issues going back to the freaking pandemic,   it makes sense. I just never thought that  this would happen, even if it could happen   because of these particular situations. And  believe it or not, according to Yahoo Sports,   the score is McCormick's of course, his  first as a Miami player, but only the fifth   touchdown he scored as a collegiate football  player. And that play was a thing of beauty. 26 years old and again the longest tenured  player in the history of college football.   Cam McCormick's Remarkable Story This guy McCormick is less than a  month younger than Justin Herbert,   the quarterback of the LA Chargers who's now  entering his fifth year in the National Football   League. That ladies and gentlemen is crazy.  And of course McCormick and Herbert know each   other very well from their time playing  together at the University of Oregon. They were both members of the recruiting  recruiting class in 2016. Now McCormick   retarded 2016, but did play in 2017  appearing in every game. In 2018,   he would suffer a season ending ankle  injury in the first game of the season   and went up missing the entire 2019 season too,  because he had several surgeries and of course,   2020 the pandemic and the shortened  season and everything going on. The Bear Of Texas (02:18.542) Doesn't end there in 2021. A   season ending Achilles injury, only two  games into the 2021 season and in 2022   appeared in 13 games for Oregon where he made 10  catches for 66 yards, scored three touchdowns. Man. Transferred to the University of Miami  last year and actually had eight catches   for 62 yards last season. Granted a ninth  season of eligibility over the off season   to make a decision to return for one final  season in 2024. Man. But it's just, know,   it's interesting. Now it's telling  me he those three touchdowns in that   season. Then you know, it's said that  he scored his fifth in college, so. I've had one in 2016 and 2017 that  this article didn't say but man But the whole Cam McCormick story,  man, that is absolutely incredible. The Bear Of Texas (03:21.966) Speaking of well, you know from   a Cormac that was actually his only  catch of this game too. So Hmm. So   you know what he made it count now for the  wide receiving quarter Xavier was stripo   seven catches 112 yards for one touchdown  average 16 yards per catch Elijah Arroyo   Miami's Strong Offense four catches 89 yards man and averaging 22  yards per catch This Miami team looks great Quarterback Cameron Ward, 26 for 35, three  touchdowns and one interception. Look at   the Gators, Graham Mertz, 11 for 20, 91 yards, no  touchdowns and one interception. Both quarterbacks   who came to this game had one interception each.  The running game was a bit solid. Montrell Johnson   rushed for 11 carries for 106 yards, one  touchdown, averaged about 10 yards per carry. You know, this Florida team just could not  get anything going. I they were one for nine   on third down. One for nine on third down. And  Miami amassed 529 yards of total offense. Man,   over close to 150 yards on the ground as well,   an average about eight yards per play. Miami  just looked absolutely incredible. Man. And I gotta look at some of stalt, some of the  ineffectiveness from this Florida offense. The   Florida Gators, for them to be blown out in  a season opener, this is something that I'm   not used to seeing. I'm sure it's happened before,  but in my case, unless I'm just not remembering it   well. I don't remember the last time the Florida  Gators lost a game this bad to open a season. Florida Gators' Offensive Struggles And Gator fans aren't just not happy at  all So I'll say some of them are just not   not surprised at this You know as I was  talking about you know the previous one   how later this season the Florida Gators  will play the Texas Longhorns in Austin   man You know and quickly taking a quick  look The last season I last season they   start off with a loss at the University  of Utah 24 to 11 You know and last season The Bear Of Texas (05:50.734) The Gators were awful last season.   This is probably why many are not surprised.  The Gators only had five wins last season. mean   that 24 to 15 loss of Florida State. I mean  that was an interesting game. And of course,   know that man that big blowout loss, you  know to Georgia. Man. They did have that   big win over the University of  Tennessee number 11, Tennessee,   but. The Florida Gators were just horrible last  season, but it seems. It's certainly you know. It's certainly not just coming  in with f***ing season as well. still you know still it's only one game  so we should we'll have to get you know   to carry it away next game get Samford I  mean that's that's that's that shouldn't   even be a problem now the Gators actually came  in this season a corner this their odds to win   the national championship of you know went  from 50 to 1 to 25 to 1 but you know man Looking Ahead for Florida: Texas A&M and Florida State Would imagine that that's for the Hurricanes. I  mean, you know for the for the Florida Gators I   mean, I think the Florida Gators  went from 250 and one so Gators,   you know, I don't think the Gators have been  favored to win the national championship in a   long time My nose I'm looking to scare. they  got Texas a name The 14th of next month. I'm   certainly looking looking forward to that one  a rematch against Tennessee I mean play number   one Jordan before you know, that and that's the  week before they go they travel to awesome take The Bear Of Texas (07:26.403) day. The Bear Of Texas (07:30.766) I could you imagine... and Florida State,   know, coming in that game, ranked number 10.  So could you imagine... Florida State and   the Florida Gators both being extremely  mediocre in this game? You know, I've   talked about this with the playmaker before,  and he has told me that if both teams were   to come to this game mediocre... it's gonna be  a game that probably nobody wants to see. Now,   Darnell is right, but honestly, about it like  this as well. If both teams were so bad... It's very possible that many people will just  tune in to see which team is only worse. So   imagine you have two mediocre teams in the  Florida Gators and the Florida State Seminoles   and both teams are so bad, no, people  are gonna see just which team is worse. The Bear Of Texas (08:19.19) is not so So despite the Gators,   you know, not very very good and of course, you  know, the fact is, you know, one of my fifth grade   teachers Huge fan of the Florida Gators I'll  never forget in her classroom all the Florida   Gators memorabilia that she had when it was  game when it was game week, you know Wearing   the shirt on the jerseys on the Fridays. boy in  Florida in Florida lost. Yeah that Monday. boy man, I don't remember. I believe she's  a she is a graduate of the University of   Florida. I don't remember it's just  been so long but Fifth fifth grade   teacher I had by any pretty good  luck. She's listening, you know,   She was such an amazing teacher wonderful  lady would love to catch up with her but The Bear Of Texas (09:16.398) So guys if you're upset and   here I am in this episode look, this is only  something that you would advise me keep doing   so don't hold anything against me. So kind  looking at through the play -by -play now,   you know I try to watch as much as I could  as I was watching the Longhorn game. know,   it's funny because after Florida gave up  that touchdown and after two straight punts The Gators actually got the ball  back off a turnover that they forced,   which they turned out to a field goal.  But when the Miami Hurricanes returned   that favor and made it 10 -3, and then  Florida suffered a turnover on downs,   which Miami turned into a touchdown, that's  when things were starting to get a little   bit out of hand. But when the Florida  Gators cut the lead to 17 -10, man, no,   I thought that the game was still on, but Miami  immediately responded to double the lead again. And you know, on the first  drive of the second half,   well, the Hurricanes drove down the field and  made it 31 to 10. Then the Gators punted and   then it was 38 to 10 and it was game over.  So what happened for the Florida offense?   The Florida offense could not click. They  could not get anything going. They were just   putting and putting and putting and the Miami  Hurricanes were just taking advantage of it. So therefore it's safe to say that the  Florida Gators are just bad. They are bad. The Bear Of Texas (10:51.822) Well with Miami ranked number 19,   I Who knows? mean if they could climb up the  ranks, I mean maybe a shot at the national   championship Maybe not would wouldn't be  maybe two out of the question But that's   considering that they could be over the  problem is I mean look at all these all   these opponents that they have moving forward  I mean, these are not ranked teams, but now   Florida the unit to me the University of Miami  They don't need to win national championship   deficit a successful season But you know the  next game they have is against Florida a man They got ball state they got South Florida  You know right now from the looks of it   The next game that they have that's that's  gonna mean a lot is against it's Florida State   Of course, you know that that's a huge rivalry.  So and I was you know, just talking about Florida   State versus Florida so so we all saw on the Yeah,  so not long from now in in October October 26th Florida State at the you man and right now I'm  concerned that Florida is still ranked in that   time, you know Florida came in ranked number  10 I mean the the new rankings have to come   up yet Man that lost the Georgia Tech Boat, of  course, never forget that that 63 to 3 loss to   the Georgia. Yeah So, yeah, I was talking to  the Florida State Florida game could still be   interesting some curious if the Miami Hurricanes  off the win against the Florida State Seminoles football rivalry but that remains to be seen.  The Miami Hurricanes I think this is gonna be   a good season definitely got some potential  so they really got quickly got rid of the   University of Florida so we'll see how things go  but honestly right now I think from looks of it   Miami could actually may possibly go undefeated  but you never know but you know Cam Warren you   know he mentioned his Miami debut you know very  very happy with it I mean three touch I mean Tossing through touchdowns. mean that that's a  very way good way to do it and again the big story   of cam McCormick nine years in college football,  so And I say how that goes and if cam McCormick   the next step is to fight if finding a job at the  NFL and seeing if How long that goes so you know   what there's still a lot to the story and well,  we'll see how things go Ladies and gentlemen,   this has been another rather unique  sports verdict. I hope you enjoyed it The Bear Of Texas (13:19.638) I hope that well I'd like for you   to leave your thoughts down below in the  comment section kind of lost my train of   thought for a second.
