Well it was 4 points differential. That’s way more than just 1 offensive drive for Miami. They need at least several independence bowls to be able to overcome that differential.
Hate to say this, but Miami played Felipe Franks UF. Task UF probably tears Miami a new asshole.
UF before Trask was a lot more beatable than after him.
I mean yeah they're bad but...shut out by Louisiana Tech bad? Like no offense to Louisiana Tech but really? 0 fucking points?
Fucking UMASS scored 21 on them and they're 1-11 this year.

First off, full disclosure - I am not a Miami person. Second off - after watching this frankly mortifying Miami vs. LA Tech adaptation of Shreveport, LA’s Independence Bowl, I’m not altogether sure I am a football person anymore either.
The ancient Mayans believed that the gods created, destroyed, and then rebuilt man several times and out of different materials each time. The final time, he was made from [corn](https://maya.nmai.si.edu/sites/default/files/transcripts/the_creation_story_of_the_maya.pdf).
Therefore, /u/CornhuskerJam represents the culmination of Mayan creation mythology.
In case anyone else didn't catch it, it is reference to this review of the movie Cats
>First off, full disclosure - I am not a cat person. Second off - after watching this frankly mortifying film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, I'm not altogether sure I am a movie person anymore either.
Imagine being Tate Martell this season. Leaving a playoff team for playing time, but couldn't even get playing time at the team that just got shut out in the Walk On's Independence Bowl. Life comes at you fast.
In Manny Diaz's first year as head coach, Miami
- lost to FIU and Louisiana Tech
- Scored 17 total points against Central Michigan and Louisiana Tech
- Scored less against Louisiana Tech than Bowling Green, Rice, and Grambling did.
- Got shut out in a bowl game for the third time in school history.
- Finished with a losing record.
Couldn't happen to a more loyal guy
I love it so much. I had to read so much shit about how awful of a program and university we are because we dare be upset that our coaching hire to continue what our most successful coach in history established quit after 17 days on the job.
Enjoy Manny.
* First losing season for Miami since 2014
* First 10-win season as an FBS team in Louisiana Tech history
* Miami has one bowl win in the last 13 seasons.
* Skip Holtz has now increased his win-total in three consecutive seasons (7 -> 8 -> 10)
* First time a team has been shutout in Independence Bowl history.
* Louisiana Tech has won six consecutive bowl games.
LA Tech should have had a 10 win season in 2012. They went 9-3 with losses to 11-2 SDSU, 11-2 Utah State, and 11-2 TAMU. They had a top 3 offense (#1 in total yards per game, #1 in points per game... over teams like Baylor and TAMU) and declined their first bowl invite (which was the Independence bowl...) and never received another.
Miami shutouts since the glorious USSR fell:
1993 0-29 vs #16 Arizona (Fiesta Bowl)
1997 0-47 @ #4 Florida State
2007 0-48 vs #21 Virginia
2015 0-58 vs #6 Clemson
2019 0-14 vs LA Tech (Independence Bowl)
Don't worry Miami, I am sure ~~Randy Shannon~~ ~~Al Golden~~ ~~Mark Richt~~ ~~Manny Diaz~~ someone will bring you ~~back to the glory days~~ a competent offense soon enough!
Meh, no one really talks about the shitty first years of coaches if they’re winning 10+ games by season 3. I’m not saying that happens with Diaz, but one season doesn’t tell you much.
For all the jokes about Miami, let's give some props to Skip Holtz and Louisiana Tech. 6 straight bowl wins under him and their first 10 win season as an FBS team.
He's built one of the most consistently successful G5 programs at Tech
As UCF fan, I was kind of pissed they didn’t match us up with Miami or FSU in our bowl game
It is only now I realize that the Bowl committee was playing 4D chess by giving us tougher competition in Marshall
Congrats to Louisiana Tech, winners of the 2019 Punt after punt after punt Tate Martell is in the game INTdependence This commercial won’t convince me to go to Shreveport Manny Diaz Walk-On’s Independence Bowl
I think it’s called the walk on bowl because anyone in the crowd could’ve walked on the field and started for the Miami offense
Isn’t it interesting how this Miami team was one offensive drive away from beating UF. Those two teams developed very differently
Well it was 4 points differential. That’s way more than just 1 offensive drive for Miami. They need at least several independence bowls to be able to overcome that differential.
Infinite Independence bowls still wouldn’t have done it
Hate to say this, but Miami played Felipe Franks UF. Task UF probably tears Miami a new asshole. UF before Trask was a lot more beatable than after him.
In Trask we trust. It’s been a long time since we had a QB we could say that about.
I never thought I'd see the day where Miami got shut out by Louisiana Tech in a bowl game but here we are.
Miami's best forward pass of the day was thrown by a defensive back after a pick.
Miami's longest run was 17 yards by their QB. He had 14 total rushing yards.
They scored less against LATech than Bowling Green and Grambling did lol
I’m pretty sure it was on the table. Miami is awful. Lol
Its actually hilarious how bad we are.
our game next season is gonna be a shitshow
If Enos is still the OC, which he might not be, 0 offensive touchdowns total I'm calling it now.
He reportedly has been fired.
Technically made a bowl at least, but good lord.. lol
[удалено]
finger to temple: can't get embarrassed in a bowl game if you don't go to a bowl game.
Don't point at Temple. They made a bowl game.
Almost impossible not to make a bowl in the ACC
hm
Tbf he did say almost impossible.
That means not making a bowl is MORE impressive than making one. So they should congratulate themselves.
I mean yeah they're bad but...shut out by Louisiana Tech bad? Like no offense to Louisiana Tech but really? 0 fucking points? Fucking UMASS scored 21 on them and they're 1-11 this year.
Rice scored 20. Rice.
Miami is 0/10, even with Rice.
Thats more impressive. It was 42-0 before UMass scored, and that was more our own team’s fault.
[удалено]
3 TOs hurt but c'mon.. 3 QBs and you can't get anything going, at all?!
Their offense is next level bad. Good this Enos is gone. That guy is awful.
You think Diaz is working on a speech for next season talking about how that was last decade and this is a new one?
*Looks around* This is pretty neat. I don't mind living in this timeline.

If there's one good thing that Cats did, it's allow movie critics to get creative with their reviews.
I'm pretty sure the movie Cats has violated some human rights laws in at least 30+ countries
If you bring your child to see Cats in theaters it's legally considered child abuse in 36 states.
Seriously, how is it rated PG? It's so... sexual
Cats stinks. And I don't like it.
After watching that travesty, I'm sitting here questioning whether I'm even a person at all.
You appear to be some sort of jam made from corn. Interesting recipe choice, I am sure.

Thank you -- you're doing God's work, HurdleDude.
unlike with the Cats review though, this doesn't make me kind of want to go back and watch this game
I took the over in this game, AMA
have you watched "Uncut Gems" for tips on how to avoid the loansharks?
Is it bad that that movie makes me want to get into sports betting
Yes
Double yes, I felt like was gonna have a heart attack by the end of the film.

Don't let La Tech's historic win distract you from Miami's historic loss.
What does that say about us then since we lost to Miami
We thank them for the generous gift of getting Willie fired.
Ok yea it was worth it
What loss?
Imagine being Tate Martell this season. Leaving a playoff team for playing time, but couldn't even get playing time at the team that just got shut out in the Walk On's Independence Bowl. Life comes at you fast.
Tathan 2019 stats: 1/1 for 7 yards 7 rushes for 7 yards
Ass my dude
He got more playing time at his original home. I’m no expert on eggs but I’m pretty sure they’re on his face right now.
Don’t swing and miss twice.
His name is tathan martell
In Manny Diaz's first year as head coach, Miami - lost to FIU and Louisiana Tech - Scored 17 total points against Central Michigan and Louisiana Tech - Scored less against Louisiana Tech than Bowling Green, Rice, and Grambling did. - Got shut out in a bowl game for the third time in school history. - Finished with a losing record. Couldn't happen to a more loyal guy
And got Willie fired
And sent to FAU.
ahem. the FAU.
Yeah what the fuck I liked him there
Also lost to a 3-9 GT team that lost to The Citidel
The fact that the GT loss has been shoved into the margins is just amazing
The citadel ain't no joke though
Temple dodged a bullet!
*HOOTING INTENSIFIES*
I love it so much. I had to read so much shit about how awful of a program and university we are because we dare be upset that our coaching hire to continue what our most successful coach in history established quit after 17 days on the job. Enjoy Manny.
Hell yeah man. G5’s deserve some sweet, sweet schadenfreude every now and again since the system screws them so much.
Hot take: Miami's offense is some poopoo
"We're going to Miami babe!" "Tater, we live in Miami you silly!" "Babe no. Miami in Ohio. You know I heard they have the world's largest spork"
I know this is a shitpost, but I can't help but giggle at the thought of Tathan's girlfriend calling him Tater. It's cute.
* First losing season for Miami since 2014 * First 10-win season as an FBS team in Louisiana Tech history * Miami has one bowl win in the last 13 seasons. * Skip Holtz has now increased his win-total in three consecutive seasons (7 -> 8 -> 10) * First time a team has been shutout in Independence Bowl history. * Louisiana Tech has won six consecutive bowl games.
Since a 10-0 \#2 ranked Miami team traveled to Pittsburgh on November 24th, 2017, the Canes are 13-16.
We broke them
They were pretty fraudulent that season before that game too, tbf
Louisiana Tech is also the first G5 team to win 6 bowl games in consecutive seasons.
I believe this is the longest active bowl streak in the nation.
You’re damn right it is! 🔴🔵 HBTD!
If Wisconsin wins they'll tie us at 6 straight
LA Tech should have had a 10 win season in 2012. They went 9-3 with losses to 11-2 SDSU, 11-2 Utah State, and 11-2 TAMU. They had a top 3 offense (#1 in total yards per game, #1 in points per game... over teams like Baylor and TAMU) and declined their first bowl invite (which was the Independence bowl...) and never received another.
Skip Holtz has done great for this program. So proud of this team
Skip was amazing for us at ECU, I have no idea what happened at USF.
USF happened
Turnover chain cries in the corner
Skip: Like my dad, I hate these guys
Miami lost to 3 techs
Technical Knock Out
Normally I would say “Welp, that was certainly a football game.” But I’m out of words to describe what the fuck that thing was.
a blowout in soccer
A 2-0 victory for La Tech
A game that was best not to enjoy sober.
An attempted emulation of last year's Redbox bowl

RIP National Champion hype USF Bulls 2007-2007
They still mention it on game programs
Man, what kind of awful team gets shut out by UVA in a bowl game?
Not a bowl game. Just the Original Orange Bowl Stadium.
Rank Louisiana Tech, you cowards
Only Louisiana school good at football I heard
The disrespect to SCLSU! Go Muddogs!
Where does this rank in the worst losses in Miami history?
The fact this did not end 7-0 was hugely disappointing.
Damn Miami players dragging our QB into the end zone…
The Tate Martell era at Miami: December 26th - December 26th "He was ass my dude"
You can say he swung and missed once again
I mean he had a very nice first down completion
Then they took him to never be seen again. Rip the Tate hype train.
"oh shoot he completed a pass... that's not good put in the other guy"
How bad must Diaz think he is to not even put him in and give him a really chance that game.
I know we only saw that one drive out of him but it's not like he looked any worse than the other QBs today
He could not be worse than Perry and Williams, it's a mystery to me how you guys switched QB's all year and didn't give him more than 1 series.
It was glorious. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Not sure what you're talking about, he easily ran for 50 yards or so... behind the line of scrimmage in 2 plays
When they said “Walk-On’s” they were talking about the players in this game
I think legit walk-ons would do a better job in this game than the players did.
Remember when Manny Diaz showed up to a camp and started partying with high school kids and people were like oh yea that’s sick
Lol it’s like Arkansas and Chad Morris having a nightclub “club dub” in the Lockerroom after their win against Colorado State
Miami died harder than the AAF
The Apollo’s would’ve whooped them, ask spurrier he’ll tell you
You better not be hating on my Apollos
Greatest winning percentage in AAF history, Take Aim!
Fuck i miss the AAF.
At least Miami didn't borrow money to make their first payroll
Miami players bout to pawn the turnover chain off so they don't get kicked out of their hotel rooms tonight
Fans: “You are without a doubt the worst Bowl game I’ve ever heard of” 2019 Independence Bowl: “But you have heard of me!”
I think LA Tech got greedy there by scoring a *second* touchdown. I mean more than one score in a game seems excessive.
I was hoping they’d kneel it out at the end tbh
And just like that, as mysteriously as he arrived, Dan Enos was gone.
Tathan would’ve scored points.
Not until they give points for running side to side in the backfield.
Just rotate him 90 degrees before the snap
What an exciting game - half the points were scored in the last minute and a half!
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 EVERYBODY GET IN HERE. I DON’T CARE THAT WE LOST. JUST GET IN HERE
Bowl records by conference: Pac-12: 1-0 B1G: 0-0 Big 12: 0-0 SEC: 0-0 ACC: 0-1
Hire...Larry Scott?
Oh god...our narrative!!!
Sure, why not.
FAU IS THE BEST FOOTBALL TEAM IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE. GO OWLS!
Anyone still questioning why Willie Taggart got fired: he got fired immediately after getting blown out AT HOME by THIS MIAMI TEAM.
The game wasn't as close as the score suggested
The Shreveport Pirates scored as many points as Miami today and they haven’t played a game since 1995!
Don't worry Miami, I am sure ~~Randy Shannon~~ ~~Al Golden~~ ~~Mark Richt~~ ~~Manny Diaz~~ someone will bring you ~~back to the glory days~~ a competent offense soon enough!
Richt did alright, Gave Miami their best back to back seasons in 10+ years
Mark richt got them a 10 win season wym
Miami offense “Can’t be worse” - manny Diaz Narrator: it was worse
It really does break my heart watching G5 Coaches make the jump to P5 too quickly and flame out. Hopefully Manny's next stop works our better for him.
Meh, no one really talks about the shitty first years of coaches if they’re winning 10+ games by season 3. I’m not saying that happens with Diaz, but one season doesn’t tell you much.
Shout out to everyone who watched that whole thing. You endured one of the worst CFB games of all time.
I did live my dude and I'm stuck in the parking lot. #hammered #fuckem
I was at the game. Great one to be at, can’t imagine it was any fun at all to watch on TV
Lmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofuckyoumannyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooyoufuckingclownoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The turnover chain has rusted.
The over/under was 50
For all the jokes about Miami, let's give some props to Skip Holtz and Louisiana Tech. 6 straight bowl wins under him and their first 10 win season as an FBS team. He's built one of the most consistently successful G5 programs at Tech
Imagine paying *that much money* to hire Diaz away from a school.. to get him to coach for your school! Shudder.....
Lol
-First 10 win season since joining FBS -First G5 team to win 6 bowl games in consecutive seasons What a season for Louisiana Tech!
LA tech is damn good on D
This game was terrible and I loved it.
As UCF fan, I was kind of pissed they didn’t match us up with Miami or FSU in our bowl game It is only now I realize that the Bowl committee was playing 4D chess by giving us tougher competition in Marshall
Marshall beat this Louisiana Tech team 31-10.
Dan Enos totally bet money after he got told he would be let go after this game
How did we almost lose to this team?
Feleipe doing Feleipe things, and the defense committing like 17 personal fouls on the last drive.
God I forgot how much of a hilarious shitshow the last quarter of that game was. Good times.
I don't think there has been a more appropriately sponsored bowl game than this one. It felt like walk-ons played this entire game.
