Canes @ Southern Methodist - 11/1/25

[Tei Tenga]

Likely the Duke's Mayo Bowl or the Pop-Tarts bowl again for us...

 

[kanecrazed]

Only 4 games left

Bowl

 

[Acane4lifeII]

We deserved to lose. 12 flags for 90yds. Not taking the FG and getting stuffed on 4th&1. Drop TD in the end zone by Lofton. Jojo drop turned Int. Lightfoot flag on 4th&9 during a timeout. Taking a knee with a timeout and 25secs left on the clock. Beck Int in the redzone.

Again, we deserved to lose.

 

[ADELPHI]

This is not only Becks fault. We are avoiding the major issue. Mainly on coaches, partly on players.

People will blame Beck but the penalties, slow starts, lack of discipline, lack of IQ, predictable mid to late season slides, horrible position coach and coordinator hires (minus CH), lack of innovative playcalling all falls squarely on the head coach.

 

[nickster]

ok so jojo dropped a pass that led to INT. you dont avoid him rest of game. just coaching malpractice in every way how mario runs gameday

Right on brother but when the OL constantly screws up he leaves them in the game.

 

[major kong]

On that last SMU 4th down I'm saying "no timeout, no timeout". But Mario managed to squeeze it in. Why don't they have him bound and gagged on the bench in the last 5 minutes of every game? Would have a bunch more wins.

 

[Cajuncane]

i dont even think he was arguing with mario he seemed to be arguing about what the rb was doing.

like a frustration thing...not dfirected at mario

Well then he should have …

 

[HurricanesR1]

Mario is now 4-9 in November at Miami.

 

[RaoulDuke]

Not the scapegoat, but the player that threw two INTs that led to both losses being secured. He was great today but he also handed that win to SMU in OT. Same with Louisville.

The game shouldn't have gone to OT in the first place. Thats how bad they played. Whether he threw the OT pick or not, we were going to lose the game through bonehead penalties or the inability to cover a receiver .

 

[Kempo Cane]

I just don't get the regression week after week

You are spot on my brother.

 

[nickster]

Not trying to win the game with 25 seconds is coaching malpractice. He coaches to lose and he got what he deserves.

 

[RaoulDuke]

Smh….Doesn’t even try to get into FG range at the end to potentially win the game. Guy is so petrified of losing games he consistently passes up opportunities to win them. He truly is a scared dinosaur

Agreed.....completely gutless. Why the concede when you have 25 seconds and a TO.

 

[ADELPHI]

I just don't get the regression week after week

Then you don’t know who Mario Cristobal is

 

[CTCanes]

Such a promising start to the season and now nothing. Sucks

Beck is not to blame, its the penalties and the coaching

 

[Rocketcitycane06]

I was told we were the best team in America.
We have the best online in America.
Elijah Lofton was the best rb on the team.
Lyle was going to light it up once we get him back.
Carson Beck would elevate us. He checks down.
Jojo was looking real good.

 

[RaoulDuke]

Such a promising start to the season and now nothing. Sucks

At least its something we know how to cope with. ******* groundhog day with this team.

 

[TemplarCane]

What is the real story of why Mario left Alabama?

Why leave a program on a multiple-NC run for a lateral move to Oregon?

Was he fired?

 

[Calinative]

Special shoutout to a few contributors

1.Carson Beck. For literally throwing the season away (can’t believe they paid this much for a guy who needs lasik surgery)

2. Shannon Dawson. For tricking us into believing he was legit, when in reality it was just Cam

3. The ACC, I don’t even need to say why

4. Mario. For being the fakest tough guy I’ve even seen. Never coaches with any edge, team is undisciplined and never prepared.

5. The O line. I think teach member of that unit had a penalty be for the first half ended. Just downright disgusting

This should literally be reversed.
