D. Take a knee.
E. Pooch punt.
In that situation during the Uni
versity of Miami’s home victory
Saturday against Washington, sec
ond-team quarterback Derrick
Crudup completed the first touch
down pass of his college career to
end the scoring at 65-7 and send
some Husky administrators home
in a huff.
What’s a coach to do?
“That’s a good question. I don’t
know what the best coaching eti
quette is,” Larry Coker said Tues
day. “Honestly, I’d rather be on
our side of the ball than coach
Rick Neuheisel’s. But nobody is
totally happy in that situation, be
cause you don’t want to humiliate
anybody.
“Had we had Ken Dorsey and
starters in and top receiver Andre
Johnson in, throwing passes to get
Ken Dorsey meaningless stats, try
ing to get him an award, to me that’s
running up the score. I don’t feel
badly about what we did. I think
we did the right thing, and I think
Rick knows that.”
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beam
er said he agreed with Coker’s strat
egy. The top-ranked Hurricanes
(10-0, 6-0 Big East) will travel to
Blacksburg, Va., to play the 14th
ranked Hokies (8-2, 4-2) at 1 p.m.
Saturday.
“It’s a great situation to be in from
a coach’s standpoint,” said Beamer,
whose Hokies are 13-point under
dogs at Lane Stadium. “You have
second-team guys in there, and you
let them play the game. The second
quarterback is not going to get bet
ter if he’s not throwing the football
and if you don’t play it like you
would normally play it. I don’t see
a problem there.”
The Canes had the ball on fourth
down three times in the final quar
ter. The first time, one yard from
the end zone, freshman Frank Gore
rushed for the touchdown to make
it 58-7. The second time, 15 yards
out, Crudup was sacked for a five
yard loss. The third time, Crudup
delivered the 13-yard score to Jason
Geathers.
“It felt like so much of my hard
work paid off,” said Crudup, a red
shirt freshman who is 10 of 22 for
100 yards, one touchdown and no
interceptions in eight games.
“Coach Coker really wanted me to
get experience in a game without
changing the offense, just in case
Dorsey ever goes down.”
Second-team center Joel Ro
driguez, another redshirt freshman,
said, “You have to understand,
we’re young. I’m sure coach Coker
wanted Derrick to feel good about
himself because you never know
when we’re going to need him in an
emergency. I was proud.”
