Just two days after Miami's 41-13 win over the Clemson Tigers, head coach Mario Cristobal had time to reflect on the win and to get ready for the bye week. Check out everything he had to say down below:
Opening statement: Really good win against a really good team, very talented team. They handled the environment really well. They were physical. There were some good spurts of play, and then some areas that we got to continue to get better at. But all in all, just continued progress for the Hurricanes. We had some injuries. We'll probably have more updates later in the week. There's still some guys we're trying to figure out, see where they're at, but there is it sounds like there is some promise in terms of guys returning. But again, I'll have probably more of that later in the week. So that being said, questions, please.
On players that made progress with injuries: We've got to wait till the week gets going or whatnot. But I do feel, last week we felt good about Xavier Lucas being there. We feel even better. I know he didn't make it there. And then Marcelin. We didn't use Marcelin last game, but he was ready to go, and now we feel with another couple weeks, he's going to be in a good spot. But I want to commend our players for just continuing to just fight through some of the issues that we had physically and whatnot, because the game meant a lot to them, any conference game is really, really important to them, and they just want to find a way to get to 1-0 and got it done.
On whether they saw the 4th and 1 trick play coming: Absolutely. Coach Hetherman.
On the offensive linemen dealing with injuries and fighting their way back into the game: They really wanted this game. The culture gets stronger all the time, and it's driven by everybody in the building. Certainly if you walk around, we don't have any slogans on the wall. We don't really dive into or delve in a lot of behind-the-scenes, you know, footage and video and whatnot. We just do what we do, and we like to refer to ourselves as men of action, right? Working into existence. And so these guys have really been gelling a little bit more and more each and every week, and they were starting to play well together against a really talented front. That's an excellent front seven. It's an excellent team. And we were grinding out some chunks. We really started having more and more success as the game went on. They didn't want to come out. That's the bottom line. They wanted to finish the game. They wanted to get to 1-0, and so they just kept going. So I don't know if I answered the question, but just proud of the way those guys just continue to fight, improve, get in here early, work at it, get better, refuse to take praise, and understand that we have a long, long way to go and a lot of improvement to be had for us to be what we want to be.
On if it will be a normal week with injuries: It will be. Yeah, some guys just can't go. That's the bottom line. But in terms of the actual blueprint, the regimen, it'll be what we're used to doing. We made some modifications to practice where it really relates to the guys that are banged up to a point where they can't fully participate. Because it's a rigorous schedule. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are tough practices around the country. No secret. But we still have to keep developing our team. And so we will not shy away from that. You know, for example, some guys actually have to lift three to four times a week, as opposed to the guys that are playing 60, 70, 80 snaps a game. Those guys are relegated to two lifts. So we plus some mobility work, recovery work and whatnot, enhanced recovery mechanisms and amenities and whatnot. We do push the envelope because it is a developmental game. These guys are young guys. They're learning to play. But we are very mindful of the guys that have reached a certain point from a physical standpoint where we got to sometimes pull back or sometimes modify what they're doing.
On Damon Wilson’s growth and Miami’s strong appetite to keep improving: Just fired up for them, fired up for their teammates, seeing what we work on, Green Tree, which I think is the most important part, is making sure that what we do out there travels with us, because that road mindset is very different, right? And I think when our guys walked out there, they were juiced up. They were excited. And credit to Clemson. They're a really good football team. They're going to win a ton of games, and they provided a great game day environment. And our guys really, I mean, I think what we showed in practice, what we worked on in practice showed up well in most areas. So that's, you know, I guess I don't get caught up in the other stuff. I just want to make sure that we're in the moment, play by play, thinking what's coming on, whatever down and distance decisions that got to come with it. But then when you watch the film afterwards is when you really probably appreciate more some of the efforts by some of the guys, some of the levels of physicality that they displayed, some of the growth and development. Damon has really grown in our systems, and there's a lot more, that's going to be coming from him here in the next couple of weeks. So we're just, we're really, we're eager for the next. Like we're really, we're just, we have a strong appetite to keep getting better. There's a lot of stuff. We're not very good at a lot of things right now that we need to get better at, and we just want to get at those things.
On Miami’s preparation and confidence heading into Florida State: The confidence is going to come from the preparation. You know, you start to really feel that as you head into Thursday, and then you wake up Friday and you start your team meetings and, you know, you finish off some of your messaging and head off to walkthroughs. But that's gained on a daily basis. That's why it's so important to come in every single day with an unbelievable attitude and a real strong work ethic, because that confidence has to be earned. And you know when you sit on a bus or a plane on your way to a site, you know. There's no masking that. There's no disguising that. The great athletes have documented that over the years. But it will be a normal week where we work both on ourselves and on Florida State. And they play this Friday as well. They're coming off a big-time win where they completely dominated their opponent and did it in every way possible: 10 sacks, ran the ball well, threw the ball really well. Just very, very impressive. So certainly a team that we're going to have to be at our best to play our best football.
On Ben Congdon making his first start: It was a strong performance. Colossal human being, really, really big, but he plays that way. The moment was not too big for him. I liken his performance and his attitude and approach to a J.J. Dunnigan, to a Javion Mallory, you know, guys like Somoruian Wingo are getting there, guys that have been through the program, like Francis, like Rueben, OJ as a freshman, a guy that is really mature. And that's a big point of emphasis of the week, going back to one of the questions about the week. The week is going to be used to drive home the fact that the levels of maturity and commitment have to continue to be elevated throughout the course, throughout the entire program. Because there's a lot of talented guys, and we need more contributors, right? And the reason the guys that have been mentioned are contributing is because of their approach. It's completely between the ears. That's a choice and a decision. So we're going to go at that hard especially when you get hit with as many injuries as we have had. Stepping up is not an inheritance. You know what I mean? You're not going to plug in a guy just because that's where you kind of sit in the room and you're the next one up. You better earn that spot, or we're going to move somebody else and teach them and go to work. So that's going to be the challenge, one that we're going to go at really, really hard and right between the eyes, because that's what our team needs to get better. And I think the scout teams, the service teams have done a really, really good job of not only providing looks of the opponent that we're facing, but also in developing within our systems. So we'll get a truckload of reps at that this week.
On Dylan Day: Yeah, he's been an elite special teams player for a couple of years, and it's a great question because it proves the point of if you have a chance to get on the field early on special teams, just the speed of the game, angles, leverage, right, contact, everything that comes with playing special teams, it really helps you grow and develop. The moment was there for him on Saturday. He did a great job. Really, really proud of him. Has proved himself as a dependable player, a guy that can cover, that can make tackles in open space. Another guy where the moment wasn't too big, went out there and did a really good job with communication and execution.
On how Darian Mensah responded to Clemson's physicality: I think he reacted well. He took some hits, also had some time to throw some clean pockets and throw some good passes. I don't think there's any flinch in him. I think he appreciates and almost carries it as a badge of honor to get himself a little bit dirty too. Make the equipment guys work a little bit harder, get those stains off of his uniform, get him ready for the next game. So he's a tough guy. He's a tough guy. He's going to work on his ball security. He talked about that. He was upset with himself, and I think that's a great sign of a quarterback that's a real competitor. He just wants to get better. Instead of looking for praise after the game, he's looking for areas to improve upon. First words out of his mouth were, Man, we got lots to clean up. Very first words. I was checking on, Hey, how you doing? We got lots to clean up. I'm like, Good man. See you.
On Miami having fun while still staying focused on the next game: They love winning. They love winning. And when you work to the levels, the extent of the way that we push ourselves, push each other, the validation comes. And we stay process-oriented, but results validate, right? Things one way or the other. And they love that part, you know. And they know that it's a short window to enjoy because you're on to the next one really, really quickly. It's just the way it is, right? You can watch all those videos in the offseason and probably enjoy them more. But, there's something to be said. Like we went up there a day early. We went up there a day early to be together around each other more. We felt we were going into an environment where we had to be galvanized and airtight. And those things, like, they matter. You know, you start hanging around with people and having conversations and moments and you just become tighter, become brothers, and next thing you're out there and you're battling injuries, you're battling fatigue, and you're battling a really good opponent and you're finding ways to get stuff done, and it's the best feeling in the world. And I think that's what they feel, and then they quickly understand the importance of putting that aside. That one's over. Let's get on to the next one. And, hey, man, we watch that film. We got a lot of things we got to get better at. So it's a very, it's a group that just understands the importance of the work and that they, you know what, when we weren't winning, like we said before, that there's no value in talking, and now when you are winning games, talk even less. Like, let's just go to work, you know.
On what he loved from the game: I loved the way Elija Lofton was moving his feet on the goal line, flat back, hands inside, low to high, unbelievable block on the goal line to get push, get us in there. Ryan Rodriguez snapped one to final snap— let me snap two, the screen. Great sell, great angle, great physical block, and his last play on the goal line was also a great finish. I like pointing out things like that. I love pointing out, you know, Matthew McCoy showed at this play the toughness that I have never seen. You know, to go what he went through and to come back in there, him and Max Buchanan, off the charts. Excuse me, the way Marquise Lightfoot was laying it on the line and going the physicality of Chase Smith and Mohamed Toure. They made a massive impact on the game. You know, you mentioned Chase as well. How about Chase's first third down tackle? And then the fourth down one, right? Being able to understand that all those you see Coach Hetherman in practice and how hard he goes, and man, there's a lot going through my head right now. But this goes back to one of the questions, is the buy-in to the way that we practice and how hard we go and how hard Coach Hetherman is on them. That pays off in being able to get a tell on that fourth down play to understand and recognize a formation trigger and make a play against a really good player and make a tackle with that much space. That gives us the ball back and allows us to go score. So we're seeing progress, and we know we're not as good as we need to be. We're not. We have a lot of things we got to improve upon, and we got to go to work, man. We got a lot of things to get better at.
On how Clemson defended Malachi Toney: They played some man. They played some zone. I thought Malachi played his butt off, did really well. They defended some passes. A couple of them one was behind them. Another time, I think he drew at least two flags. There's a couple chunk plays right there. Had the seam route as well where he split them for a touchdown that got called back. So his production continues to be high, and we feel that he's a guy no matter what coverages are thrown at us that he's still going to find a way to get open and he's going to keep making plays.
On what Miami learned from last season’s midseason stretch: Yeah. Every year you learn more. I feel like a couple seasons ago we were trying to figure out ways to get strong in November and December, and we found a way to modify practices and incorporate service periods that allowed us to remain physical but not wear us down in the wrong kind of way. And then we looked at last season and we're like, okay, we were playing good football, we had like 13 penalties. We had some really un-characteristic mistakes. And so we jumped on that all offseason and studied what we do, how we do it, the numbers as it relates to sports science, player load, internal readings, right, with all the data that we have, and came up with a plan that we felt was going to impact how we go into games five, six, and seven. And we had our first opportunity to see it on Saturday night, and we think we got a favorable result. And there's a lot of things that go to it. I'm not going to waste your time, bore you to death, but it's a lot of stuff revolving around regimentation. Strategically, we may have enhanced some things, but from a nutrition standpoint, from a travel standpoint, from leaving a day early standpoint, from an eliminating distraction standpoint, from just being on a complete assault and annihilation of distractions, I think we may have found some that help us continue just to prevent ourselves from not playing our best.
On whether Miami has been tested enough to handle the mid-season stretch: I just would you like to build a team that doesn't rely on external factors, right? That's the whole motive. You'd like to have a team that wakes up and thinks about nothing else but whooping somebody's behind. And we never rely on waiting for a source of motivation to create a crisis to get our guys going. I think that would be catastrophic because you're going to find yourself having to create a crisis every week. And at the end of the day, you're going to be just filling your team with bull****, you know? We like to be as real as possible. I know real is boring sometimes. I know these press conferences probably make you guys go to sleep, but I think it's really important that we do things the right way for our guys and the right way is to go right at them between the eyes and let them understand by showing them the most important thing, the film, and go right at it front and center in front of their teammates, in front of their coaches, and make sure that we are finding every opportunity to make them the best they could possibly be as it relates to technique, effort, fundamentals, schematic knowledge, football IQ, being a great teammate, being a great leader, bringing maturity to the room. Those are the things that we focus on, and yeah, don't get me wrong, that hit you between the eyes last year when we lost to SMU, and there's some good things that came about after the fact, but, we're not waiting for something bad to happen. Coach Saban used to say that all the time, that every movie nowadays, the first 20 minutes, guy loses his job, you know, wife leaves him, they steal his car, they burn his house down, and then we spend the next hour and 40 minutes, like, cheering on his revenge, a reaction. And we like to remain in a proactive mentality, always be searching and hunting for the next opportunity to improve and get better, and never ever, never ever feel like we got this. Like, we have a long ways to go. We have a lot to improve upon, and we have to stay in that mindset.
Opening statement: Really good win against a really good team, very talented team. They handled the environment really well. They were physical. There were some good spurts of play, and then some areas that we got to continue to get better at. But all in all, just continued progress for the Hurricanes. We had some injuries.

I know these press conferences probably make you guys go to sleep, but I think it's really important that we do things the right way for our guys and the right way is to go right at them between the eyes and let them understand by showing them the most important thing, the film, and go right at it front and center in front of their teammates, in front of their coaches, and make sure that we are finding every opportunity to make them the best they could possibly be as it relates to technique, effort, fundamentals, schematic knowledge, football IQ, being a great teammate, being a great leader, bringing maturity to the room. Those are the things that we focus on, and yeah, don't get me wrong, that hit you between the eyes last year when we lost to SMU, and there's some good things that came about after the fact, but, we're not waiting for something bad to happen. Coach Saban used to say that all the time, that every movie nowadays, the first 20 minutes, guy loses his job, you know, wife leaves him, they steal his car, they burn his house down, and then we spend the next hour and 40 minutes, like, cheering on his revenge, a reaction. And we like to remain in a proactive mentality, always be searching and hunting for the next opportunity to improve and get better, and never ever, never ever feel like we got this. Like, we have a long ways to go. We have a lot to improve upon, and we have to stay in that mindset.
