I watched Laboto step onto the field within the Georgia Dome with seconds remaining in the 1st quarter. Three straight handoffs and a three and out. Laboto played the entire 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. Tannehill played just one series and was flawless.
UNC was mentioned during the broadcast some 50 times............I felt prideful.
Laboto looked confident in the huddle however as the offensive line replacements took over, the run game began to severely struggle which meant Miami would have to open the band width they kept Laboto in. Most of Labotos' passes through the entire 2nd, 3rd and midway through the 4th were short outs or dumps left and right. Laboto having some two week experience with the offense truly looked like an NFL backup!!!
Miami is down 16 to 10 with some 6 minutes left and I thought perhaps I would see Brock Jensen.............Laboto trots onto the field...........
80 yds out with not much on the clock..........Laboto then proceeded to slowly march down field completing ball after ball...........the team even converted a 4th down........Laboto is now on the six yard line ready to punch it in and Miami will take the win.........
Laboto in the shot gun and here comes the snap....he fumbled a perfect snap waist high and Atlanta recovered. As bad as that was.......he played well and his stock went up.......he is truly in the running as a 3rd backup!!!!!!! In the end he got to play in an NFL game while I was just dreaming of playing at his age.......I still have that dream of playing however I always wake up and I'm never on the field.........I get to watch my son play at UNC...........that's plenty for me..............
