Canes @ Southern Methodist - 11/1/25

[CaneTheGaytors]

That last drive is a microcosm of our idiotic play calling. We have 1st & Goal at their 9 and instead of coming out in a spread formation with 3 or 4 WR and running it with Fletcher or Brown, we throw a fade to a 5 foot 10 WR out of a bunch formation. Then on second down we throw a 4 yard pass instead of attacking the end zone, and Lofton puts the final nail on the drive when he drops a sure TD. Incompetence all the way around.

 

[PIPO]

I m

I mean we had Dukes HC and he’s not very good either

He’s not the OC, is he?

 

[BS85]

 

[BooBoo]

To state the obvious we are a very undisciplined football team.

 

[ciggymane]

We’re not paid six figures to play the game like he is. He sits down 3 yards sooner. Hes untouched.

i know 0 people would pay you to play anything…so pre NIL that’s excusable ?…

how many TD’s did you catch in rec league?

 

[NC_Canes_11]

I disagree he looks Lazer focused, he is having a really good half.

Did you not see his reaction after the FG? He was spazzing out

 

[gogeta4]

Lofton had his teeth shook on that hit. No one holds onto that ball

Arroyo, Mallory hold on to that. these guys are just soft.

 

[skyman]

Beck is also notorious late on every throw

THISSSSS.. Soooo much this.. he has to see it open, he was late on a bunch ..

 

[BishopEli]

Fletcher is avg 5.9 yards a carry yall.

What the **** are we doing in this game? When has Fletcher ever avg 5.9 a carry and only has SEVEN carries. And thats a true avg with him not breaking anything too long. He is genuinely getting you at least 3 every time he touches it on the ground.

First game in a while we're not seeing 7-8 man boxes and we're not running the ball... our in game adjustments leave a lot to be desired

 

[Cane4life18]

If I'm Mario, I'm Ice Harrising the OL during the half. "Why the OL ain't working?! Huh?!!! "Slap!"" IYKYK

Unacceptable performance thus far. Too many preprocedural penalties from a group this talented.

 

[TemplarCane]

Why do some of us think portal QBs want to come here in 2026?

Cam was the exception, not the rule.
Beck has some issues but isn't getting consistent support except for Toney.

 

[SFbayCane]

This is gonna be a brutal halftime for me.

I bought $60 worth of candy yesterday and only had three small groups of kids come to the door last night. I'm hopped up on Skittles and coffee right now. lol

I had a massive bag of Costco candy. Was looking bad early on, but the 8-9pm hour cleaned me out.

I thought that might happen here, but a cold front moved in a couple days ago (cold for Central Florida). It got down to like 55 degrees around sundown. The kids disappeared. lol

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Penalties and drops are putting us in situations where we clearly need to pass

My theory is that because we’re actually running more outside zone and outside the tackles (surprise, the run game is better), the OL are just jumpy and not used to it. Doesn’t excuse everything, but a thought nonetheless.

I would like to see more vertical attack on early downs. Every 1st or 2nd down, it’s a run play or a dump off. They’re the 133rd ranked secondary for a reason, I know we’re missing Daniels but there should be no problems finding soft spots in this defense for chunk plays.

And stop waiting til 2 seconds to snap the ball as if we’re trying to grind out a win. Hate that ****.

 

[LPK2006]

This team is in its head. We make a mistake, and it's like the world is falling apart for them. Blay looked like he had a panic attack after he jumped offside, Trader was all upset at himself for the INT deflection he didn't keep up with the play, and Beck was crying like a five-year-old girl when they didn't even call a delay of the game yet.

Cut the emotional crap and focus on doing your job. We have a clear talent advantage.

Yeah. I hate misogyny, but I'll say it, they're playing like p***ies, especially on offense

 

[gogeta4]

Play Gilbert. At least he can block and no way can be worse in passing game then lofton. Lofton is so slow with no height. He is just a nothing burger

He doesnt look that good of a blocker from what ive seen from practice clips.

 

[joeB954]

Last year : Trash defense / Championship offense

This year : Trash offense / Championship defense

Welcome to The Miami Hurricanes football experience ladies and gentlemen

Last year we lacked the talent on defense along with the bad coaching. This year our offense doesn’t lack the talent. Just so much stupidity it looks like.

 

[MiamiVice7]

8 penalties for 60 yards in 30 mins of football
2 drops let led directly to -10 points
2 major special team errors caused by???
2:1 TOP advantage

Dont even know

Yep. And don’t forget the injuries (or at least our guys getting shook up), another hallmark of these classic Miami games.

 

[J A M O N D]

Was it a hard hit? **** yeah. But I don’t like him as a player anyway so that’s why the fact he dropped it makes me mad af lol if Toney drops that I’d excuse it.

 

[canefan96]

2 quick points -
Our 2 tight ends that played in the first half need to sit on the Bench.
Let one of the freshman play.
No doubt Mario is coaching special teams, they are as dumb as him.
Except for 10.

 

[Crimpy]

8 penalties is inexcusable from Mario and particularly Mirabel's OL

And it's compounded by the lack of calls on the opposing team.
