I said undefeated. As in we would have won every game we played in 2019. I can't honestly say that a decent offense would have helped us win games we didn't play. I was strictly referring to the games we actually played. They had a sloppy first quarter against UNC but a decent offense wins...

Not sure what any of that has to do with 2019. The defense was good enough that with a capable offense, they would have been undefeated in the regular season. Would they have gotten exposed against the cream of the crop? Yeah but I would prefer 12-2 or 13-1 to 6-7. The defense can get better but...

Imagine being a defensive player and seeing the score is 7-0 after three quarters but knowing you had no chance of winning the game.

Thank you. I honestly think a lot of people here don't watch college football outside of Miami games and they have no idea what the game has become. Modern offenses and rule changes have made it an offensive game. Even the most talented teams have had to shift their focus from shutting opponents...

So you expect a lesser talented team to be perfect but a team full of first round draft picks gets a pass? Ok.

That 2002 UM team was way better than the 2019 UM team too.

Don't forget the 2000 game when after scoring the go-ahead touchdown with the pass from Dorsey to Shockey, the defense let FSU drive right down the field to attempt the potential game tying field goal. Both times they got bailed out by FSU's terrible kickers.

This is my issue with the defense and how Baker called games. It's certainly a repairable issue as we were terrible on third downs in 2017 and went to the top of the list in 2018. A more experienced secondary will help along with a more seasoned coordinator.

Yup. Especially when our running back is averaging almost 9 yards a carry but our offensive coordinator keeps dialing up passing plays for our hungover quarterback who threw 3 picks. Thankfully neither of those guys are here anymore.

Yup and if the offense was even average, they would have went 12-0. Honestly though, it's better this way. Let's just say the defense carries the load even more and they end up 9-3. We're probably bringing back Enos and Jarren Williams and the team would not be getting any better. I prefer to...

Miami never had the lead against FIU but I get what you're saying. The fact that we can remember each and every possession where the defense failed us tells us how few times they let us down. Wouldn't it be nice if we could win a game without the defense having to be perfect?

Say whatever you want but if Penos’ offense was as good as Baker’s defense, Miami would have been 12-0 and there’s not even a discussion.

Yup. Dudes on here still trying to blame the defense

You realize that 100 of LT’s rushing yards came in the fourth quarter after the defense had spent the entire game on the field and finally ran out of gas? I don’t care how good your defense is, you eventually get tired. The best defense ever will eventually get worn out with no offensive help...

If the offense had only averaged 3.17 yards per carry and never averaged over 5 in a single game, it would be considered one of the worst rushing offenses in school history

The run defense was very good. These opponents had huge carry numbers because the offense kept giving them possessions. If the offense consistently goes three and out and/or turns the ball over a ton, that’s giving the opponent more and more opportunities to run plays. The ridiculous standard...

Outside of maybe a couple of posters, nobody here knows how the players view Baker.

Honestly, the only game that I could say the defense was BAD was Lousiville and it didn't matter because Jarren Williams was sober enough to toss 6 touchdowns.

The way Baker called games reminded me of Manny’s first season as DC here. Yeah he did some things alright but he got cute way too often and relied too much on blitzing. I get it, it’s a pressure defense and it will be a live by the sword/die by the sword type of deal but you don’t always need...
