Defense Tonight

[TrumpyCane]

Trumpycane thinks the D played an almost perfect game

Held a team averaging 42 to 20

Heisman winner was 16/27 for 187

Only issue was the tackling

Mesidor and Bain will truly be missed

 

[3rd-43]

Offense and ST did not hold up their end. And throw in coaching decision making at end of second quarter

 

[ShadowSpring]

The problem with the offense doing nothing in the 1st half is it slows the pass rush later in the 4th cause they lose a touch of explosion. Happens in every game, but offense didn't protect em

 

[RozayCane]

Defense did their job. Special teams gave the game away

Defense gets an A++++. Anyone criticizing them is an idiot.

 

[Bmacthe1]

1000% agree and the tackling like you mentioned was awful at times . Lights out for majority of the game. O’Connor as well made the overall defense look bad at times. Offense in the first half didn’t help either but will look at this game proud knowing Miami had a vintage Miami defense until the end.

wtf happened to oj. Buddy went to Cancun at half time

 

[Calinative]

The only real disapointement I have is why on earth they kept leaving OConnor on the field on Becker instead of having OJ/Lucas on field together. OJ was great today and then taken off.

Also that QB draw was SO ******* OBVIOUS. I called it before it happened.

 

[SSCane]

Did their job but failed when it was most important.
Giving up two 4th and longs is unbelievable to me.
Indiana wanted it more and that’s why they won.

 

[QuattroCane]

I’m sorry but Mendoza is not an NFL QB.

special teams were fine

bauman on the other hand can walk back to campus

 

[CorniceCane]

D held their own. Offense played lights out in the 2nd half. Should have taken that long to figure it out. Special Teams sucked! End of story. When is Bain and Mesidor coming back to coach up the youngsters. Need that kind of pressure next year!

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Was just gonna post this. Hard to stomach. Just block on a punt safe and you’re very likely a national champion. Defense played well enough for us to win, again. Like they did for 16 games this year. Offense didn’t show up till halftime and special teams cost us a natty.

To me that is BIGGEST QUESTION.. OConnor was FOOD on the field.. TERRIBLE

 

[BostonCanes47]

Only criticism I’ll give the defense is the coaching.

Leaving Oconnor on an island with 80 for those jump balls.

Putting lightfoot over the guard with those light boxes on those third downs. They were targeting that during the whole first half.

There were a couple times Indiana had numbers outside. First time all year I can remember Miami being confused in the secondary pre snap like that.

 

[Manfred_Cane]

I was really hard on the defense in the first half. They showed out overall. Gave it everything. Offense couldn't sustain long enough drives at time to give them a break.

Hats off to the defense.

Can't wait to see what they got in store next year.

 

[gordonsolie]

Defense played well, but in crucial times there were communication issues I hadnt seen all year. Reminded me of last year.
