FC/OT: Insane stat about 2001 Miami team…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Crazy. I recall running into a PSU coach the day before they played Miami. The coach said point blank that Miami would roll us. And they did. That was a crazy talented team.
I once worked with a guy who had Larry Coker as his HS coach in OK.
He said Larry was the meanest, most demanding person he’d ever met.
He claimed that Coach Larry would get info on every player’s friends (male and female) and say the most vulgar things about them during practice and pre-game warm-ups in order to get his players agitated.
Yet Larry claims to be a Christian

They had a ridiculous amount of talent all around, but their RBs in particular were insane...
Clinton Portis
Frank Gore
Willis McGahee
Najeh Davenport
Davenport had the "worst" NFL career of those 4, with "only" ~2400 yards and 16 TDs over 7 seasons.

I was at that game. The Adam Taliferro game. It was over before it ever started.
They also broke every NCAA rule in the books. My buddies who worked at Miami felt like parole officers.
As Joe said ‘it’s not difficult to win football games, it’s difficult to win with student-athletes’.

First game at PSU after the big expansion. You could hear the pads pop different with that team.
Am I correct in remembering that Dave Benfatti started at linebacker for us in that game?
It seemed like Miami could have easily scored over 100 points that game if Coker didn’t slow it down like he did in the second half.
I don’t remember that specifically. All I could find was this roster chart. Toles is listed as the starter and I remember thinking he was pretty good, but I feel like he was frequently dinged up.

Here is a look at the 2001 Penn State football depth chart.
Adam running out was awesome. That was where we lost our best linebacker.
Didn’t Toles have Crohn’s disease or something like that where he could never keep on any weight.I don’t remember that specifically. All I could find was this roster chart. Toles is listed as the starter and I remember thinking he was pretty good, but I feel like he was frequently dinged up.

Perhaps the greatest assembly of talent in college football but far from the greatest college football team of all-time. They COULD NOT score an offensive touchdown against UNRANKED Boston College. Could anyone with a working cerebral cortex possibly believe the "greatest" cfb team of all-time COULD NOT score an offensive touchdown against an UNRANKED team? It's preposterous. Think '94 Penn State doesn't score on an unranked team? Think '95 Nebraska doesn't score on an unranked team? Think '19 LSU doesn't score on an unranked team?
Try not to fall asleep watching the "greatest" college football team ever:
'01 Canes also needed five turnovers to beat the 14th ranked team (Virginia Tech) in the country by JUST TWO POINTS.
Billingsley has them properly ranked at #29 for what they actually accomplished on the football field in 2001 and not based on their reputation because whatever they did after 2001 doesn't change what took place ON THE ACTUAL PLAYING FIELDS in 2001.

The Flaw in Claiming the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are the Greatest College Football Team Ever
When the discussion comes up about which is the greatest college football team of all-time, some college football fans will say it was the 2001 Miami Hurricanes team. If you ask them why, invariabl…

I think Toles had some sort of chronic disorder that only allowed him to play a specific amount of snaps a game. Can’t remember the disorder though.
And he he was light too - like 6'0", 205.
Indeed, it was over before it started. I think of it as the Matt Senneca game. Yeesh.
Craziest CFB stat of all time is Mike Reid’s individual record for 3 safeties in one game. Against U MD 1966.
