I was genuinely surprised that this was the worst defense for Florida, ever - even before the Cotton Bowl.  404 ypg allowed is bad, but it's middle-of-the-road bad.  All of Florida's "terrible" defenses from my lifetime allowed like 350-360 ypg.  So this year's was BAD.  
I'm not sure why you'd keep Grantham around.  
Go out and get someone younger with results....who's behind Marshall's defense this year?  SDST has had a great defense the past 5 years, grab that guy.  Snag someone from Georgia or Clemson's staff.   Shit.

Amazing discovery in researching a team to create:  1983 East Carolina
What's the big deal about the '83 Pirates? 
They went 8-3 and finished ranked, so that's good.  Their RB was Earnest Byner.  But looking at who they lost to:
@ #7 FSU 47-46
@ #6 Florida 24-17
@ #5 Miami 12-7
.
A - it's just cool that the team's only losses were to Florida's big 3.
B - these were the only ranked teams ECU played, and their only losses
C - look at the scores......1 point, 7 points, 5 points........DAMN!
.
I just found it noteworthy.  So please, note the worth.

Excuse me while I nerd out, but I just sold my first 1943 Iowa Pre-Flight team set!!!!!  It's awesome!!!

This past year's Northwestern is a rare team with an elite pass D and awful run D.
Hell, they almost allowed as many yards per rush (4.5) as yards per pass attempt (5.2).  That's pretty nuts.

Halftime of 45 Army vs 01 Miami
Black Knights up 17-7
.
Mr. Outside, Glenn Davis, rips off 2 long runs as the Cadets punch it in from a yard out, up 7-0.  Took them 4 minutes and they look unstoppable.
Miami seems hellbent on running the ball - Portis largely being stymied, but McGehee finding success.  
Dorsey is only 3 of 8 passing so far, with no big gainers.
After holding Army to a FG, the Canes make some headway and Dorsey hits Shockey for a 12-yard TD.
The relief was short-lived, however, as Mr. Inside, Doc Blanchard, took the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a TD.
The half ended with a missed 42- yard FG from Army.
.
Army attempted and completed 1 pass.
Davis has 8 carries for 84 yds and the TD
Blanchard 9 carries for 40 yards
.
Portis 14 car for 36 yds
McGehee 7 car for 43 yds

Did anyone know Charlie Ward was FSU's full-time punter in his FR year, 1989?  

[MarqHusker]

How did I not know this?  I was at the 90 Fiesta Bowl.  Perhaps I noticed a black punter which isn't too common, with due respect to Roby, Randall, etc.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Well looking at the video, I don't think FSU punted in the first half of that game.  I'll keep looking.
Ha!
Early after the half, FSU punts and some guy named Wimberly punted, but they put up Charlie Ward's graphic.  Wimberly was hurt during the regular season, but i guess he was okay for the bowl.

Forgot to update the 2nd half:
A lot of punts in the 2nd half.
Dorsey's bad game worsened with an INT and immediate 30 yard Glenn Davis TD run.
The Canes kicked a couple of FGs in the 4th quarter, but Dorsey couldn't get on track at all.

Final: 1945 Army 31 - 2001 Miami 13

Player of the Game: Army HB Glenn Davis: 15 carries for 141 yards and 3 TD. He also had 70 yards on 4 punt returns.
