****, if pope had not dropped a perfect pass in his hands and stomach at the 7 yard line at the end of the game, i'm pretty sure we win the game. in prior years, miami would have quit after going down early. we fought until the end. culture change!
don't forget the Trio, Shoop, T Rob and Simpson. They are instrumental in changing the culture too. T Rob barking and harassing our D players is going to be make them tougher and more resilient.
we are not close to the top 5 teams, but two more recruiting periods in a row like we had in 2020 and we'll be there. we are not that far off. we have 10-12 freshman (2019 and 2020 classes) that could potentially play in the league if they develop well and don't get hurt
