hey y'all it's your girl C2 I'm here with my guy Benjamin we're doing a instant reaction after a big game one rivalry game against the University of Florida Benjamin oh my gosh game 4117 in the swamp first things first let's talk about cam War because we were anticipating his play his debut today what did you think of his performance absolutely amazing performance from cam ward he was just very casual like with the ball oh even when he ran for first downs he kind of jogged to the sideline that was kind of like kind of interesting just just to see from him and he kind of proved to everyone that he's a Heisman candidate he proved that he can definitely lead this team to the playoff and an ACC Championship he was just poised in the pocket I mean he basically could make a cup of coffee when he was in the pocket he was just so poised in the pocket bought a lot of time rolled out uh to make plays just bought so much time to make plays which is definitely the opposite from last year for Tyler van djk where you kind of wished that he ran for first downs and just really kind of bought time while receivers got open I thought cam Ward was just absolutely outstanding today he really showed that not only he can really kind of propel this team to the next level yeah he's definitely a gunslinger just like he said in his press conference I'm really excited to see what he's going to do for the rest of the season 385 Ys three touchdowns stats final stats for today Mario said that this is just the surface stratch for for him so I'm excited to see what else he can do X said him and X had a really great chemy chemistry on the field uh him him today was just a remarkable performance for him yeah for for him and Xavier rreo uh your boy stays to be like just the reliable receiver for this team he's Mr third down he's Mr Clutch he's always running on the scramble drill uh to get open you'd love to see that from X led the team and receiving again I think he had about seven receptions and a touchdown today another thing about cam ward he spread the ball around I I I want to say he had nine maybe 10 receivers that he completed the ball to you like to see that and the tight ends the tight ends finally got involved last year we had one touchdown to a tight end today we had a touchdown on the first drive to the veteran cam MC M mccormic shout out to mccormic man I was so happy shout out to the grandpa I was so happy to see him scor today that like that was just like okay this is this is something I can get used to see tight ends being worked in and and cam getting the ball to them so it was exciting to see I definitely want to not just talk talk about cam Warden his play but he wouldn't been able to do it without the great protection from the o line to talk about like those guys protect him look how long he was able to stay in the pocket yeah absolutely I mean cam Ward was only sacked one time and that was towards the end of the game but he he bought a lot of time jayen Rivers just you know said it's it's kind of difficult blocking for a guy that's running around for that long but they were able to not only just protect cam Ward but they were also able to just open up holes uh for the running backs I thought Mark Fletcher had a really good day I thought Damen Martinez had a really good day and the Freshman we saw the Freshman Jordan L get get some carries too so I I think the overall the offensive line really didn't fall off from last year you lose Matt Le you lose jvon Coen but you just kind of replace these guys with a Zack Carpenter transfer from Indiana and then we saw kind of a rotation with Ryan Rodriguez and Matt McCoy at left guard and everybody else I thought really solid I thought Francis maloa moved very well while cam was moving around in the pocket so sky's the limit for this offensive line this season well we did get the death chart from Miami pretty late but I saw you twe it out though yeah I I I noticed a few things we got freshman OJ freder starting how do you feel about him to start as a freshman here at the yeah I I thought he did a really great job it was a little surprising to kind of see his name on the depth chart to be honest to see a true freshman start in the swamp game one happy for him obviously homeown kid really representing for the city but I I really liked what I saw from all of the defensive backs I mean Beach pal had had an interception today that he probably should have took to the house you know but he got got stopped great play nonetheless Jaden Harris made an interception on his back I mean that that that was pretty pretty amazing in and I thought Jas Richard made some great plays J yeah Jay Rich I thought he I thought he did a great job as well deari Brown when he was in there I thought he he did well as well um seems like he's got a soft T tissue injury that you know probably he probably will be okay in the next couple of weeks uh hopefully he gets back on the field along with Ruben Bane who you know left the game early with an injury probably going to be back for two weeks I saw you tweeted out I actually saw his mom and say I'm like hey how's Ruben doing she's like he's going to be fine he's going to be just fine so that was really great news to hear that he's going to be fine like no worries so I know it looked kind of bad because he was dressed out of uniform but uh I from what I'm hearing he'll be back in within a few weeks yeah that that's really great to hear want to se number four on the field wrecking Havoc per usual uh but I want to talk a little bit about this press conference just a little bit because there were just so many great quotes that kind of come out of it I love Mario's just him back vibrant like you know going into game one Mario's Mario but you know he's joking too and just just having that positivity and just seeing all of his hot work since January getting these guys in getting them uh together as a team and getting them to defeat the Gators at the swamp like this is what we wanted to see so to seeing all of that just come into fruition I think he was very very excited yeah you could tell that he wanted to play the Gators while he was a player um unfortunately the Gators you know you know cops out of playing Miami all through the 90s so he didn't get to play the gator so um I can tell he really wanted this one bad and I'm happy for him happy for the entire team uh but one of the quotes that kind of stood out for me is is when cam Ward said that hey the the crowd at the swamp wasn't really that loud it really didn't really affect him he he was giv props of the Pack 12 crowd at at uh Washington and and Oregon and USC he said those crowds he even gave advice he even gave some advice like you should be louder when we're in the actual huddle in the actual huddle that's the whole point of being loud right I thought that was pretty profound I mean cam Ward just his presence not only on the field but in the press conference great a A1 Al he he actually he did what I expected him to do um a lot of people were were you know contemp is he the quarterback everyone is saying he will be is you know is it true will Kim W hold up to the expectations of coming here and playing qb1 um with for Miami and he he game today and he did his thing yeah he definitely showed up and showed out for sure and we've seen so many times over the years that it doesn't happen like that there's like all this hype going into the season and then there's a flop as you know whether in game one but to to blow out your rival on their home field in front of 90,000 people that's a big big statement win for the Miami Hurricanes I'm really excited to see what they do so excited when was when was that moment for you when you were like all right this game is done what was that for you it it was that touchdown that uh cam Ward scrambled around and found Jobe George back the when I saw that I was like whoa to me if there was a Heisman moment for the game that was it I was like Wow because he kind of spun out of a tackle in the back field and just kind of waited waited waited and found job in the back of the end zone I mean those are game-winning type plays and Miami's got a game and cam W so overall give me your take on today's game and just the fans and just the whole entire day statement win just a statement win for the Miami Hurricanes they made a statement on a national stage everybody watching this game nationally televised the feature game 330 ABC everybody came to see what Miami's hype was all about today and they lived up to the hype I think many was expecting maybe Miami to swap today or maybe this game was going to be closer than the experts you know thought there was only a 2 and 1 half game a two and a half Point favor going going into the game so clearly clearly you should have laid the points with with Miami but for me I it it's all about cam Ward man cam Ward dazzled today I mean over 350 yards passing uh he did have the one interception where he I think he did a little too much he could have threw the ball away or he could have ran for the football ran with the football but you like that Gunslinger mentality from him so I I feel like this team is going to ride or die with Cam Ward just based on what we saw today I just want to add on top of that he did throw that one interception but after that he played exceptionally well so he did not let that affect him which has happened with other quarterbacks though yeah absolutely speaking of other quarterbacks where it was gr M really not anywhere to be seen in this game under 100 yards passing uh I think he was flustered by by the pass rush I think the defensive backs really kind of held up on the time that he did to deep so I just think the offense never really got going from Florida and that's credit to this defense that's credit to Lance inury the DC really preparing these guys you know for you know how many weeks or months for this game you can really see the prep ation kind of really came to fruition um on on in this game today well I mean overall exactly what is needed to get throughout you know the rest of the season right game one against such a big rivalry on to the next right Mario said one and0 I mean next week what what do you have next fam you yeah fam you uh W Mar you know we we'll see what they do yeah go Rattlers you know I'm sure the fans going to show out and they'll probably win the Battle of the Bands if that is even a thing with Miami but you know I I think Miami will continue to show how they take a businesslike approach to week to week so I I I think they they take care of business again of course uh at home for the home opener and his family all right yeah make sure you guys stay tuned we will be doing instant reactions to all games this season so make sure you guys stay tuned with us Marcus thank you so much I'm see you to you guys you guys have a great night
