The enemy within!!

Ok so I'm not the one to use alot of played out phrases(moral victory,playing with heart etc....)to describe a Hurricanes football game,however watching an almost monumental collapse one such phrase comes to mind "Shooting yourself in the foot". I was there in Durham on Saturday watching with shear horror as Duke came within six yards of pulling a Buster Douglas type upset of the Canes. Let's state the obvious the suspensions hurt bad,eapecially on the offensive side of the ball(namely the run game),but from my viewpoint that was not the problem saturday. From where I was sitting the real opponent wasn't the Duke Blue Devils (no disrespect to a team that played tough and took us the distance), No the Miami Hurricanes toughest opponent Saturday was the Miami Hurricanes!!!! False starts,personal fouls,unsportsmanlike conduct,late hits,turnovers basically an overall lack of discipline on the field. The same lack of discipline that cost us the FS..Who game,the same lack of discipline that prevented us from putting our foot on Louisville's throat early in that game(watch the tape!!!) and the same lack of discipline that has caused us to struggle with the likes of Houston and Duke. Cane fans "the enemy is not on the field ,the enemy is within!!" We have the weapons,we have the attitude and we have the hunger to beat GT Saturday,but my question is do we have the composure and discipline??? I only hope that I can return home from Atlanta this weekend with something I've been missing all season "A Reason To Believe."
