Bro ball needs more praise

I think Mario is a very good coach, but his current strategy is dangerous. By slowing the game and bleeding clock, we cut down possessions and actually give up the advantage our roster provides. With only 4/5 drives each, a single fumble, interception, or penalty can decide the outcome.

It’s like flipping a coin—if you only flip it 5 times, the weaker side has a decent shot to come out ahead; flip it 20 times, and the stronger side almost always wins. That’s exactly why underdogs shorten games—to increase variance and hope for breaks.

Miami, with superior depth and talent, should be doing the opposite and maximizing possessions so that over time, our edge becomes undeniable. I hate to say it, but this WILL be our Achilles heel until it’s fixed.

I forget which podcast mentioned this but Northern Iowa is considered a dangerous cupcake to schedule because they intentionally shorten games and make them ugly to increase their odds of stealing the game on a splash play, if you think you have the better team you don't want to run out the clock on yourself playing the closer offense all game.


Miami has been playing in the rain and against teams who they don't think are good enough to score with them so I assume the offense will pick up a little as the season progresses.

One other thing to keep in mind though, Ohio State played slow last year just to keep their guys fresh in anticipation of a deep playoff run so Mario might be doing that also.

Nothing like copying a system none of the other teams run except that one time Michigan had an elite level OL, RB, and a first round QB
