He gave Miami 17 points on his own with turnovers. Fast teams just give him problems. He's not the player his brother is. I saw Michael play VS FSU in the 2000 Sugar Bowl and while the FSU kids could all run, he was in a class by himself that night. Too bad Peter Warwick had his coming out party that night or else Tech wins that game.
Maybe.
They do give him problems, but if Miami had played the rest of the year like they played that night on defense, the BCS would be in serious trouble becuase it would have 3 undefeated teams.
At the time though, he had only started something like 8 or 9 games as a QB. Mostly by his own doing (since he got himself suspended for the 2004 season), but most QBs not named Matt Leinart are going to struggle inside of their first 10 games as a QB. It's just a fact of life.
