Finally a complete game. Mario and company looked prepared.

The DC needs a raise or the HC job at Miami. He’s under paid.

Pringle has that juice and wiggle.

Meisdor was dominant.

DBs played well

Dawson seemed to be in a better rhythm

We need a portal RB bad next year . Hellcat is more like a Subaru.

Moore is going to be really good WR. His hands are sticky

I would agree, Hellcat looks pretty mid.

Very impressive play from the DBs. Even without the All American Scott.

The more we run the "trick" plays, the more it becomes a consideration for defenses to defend. Im fine with it.

Pringle runs so well. Its funny that as soon as the reporters press Dawson on the inside runs, he starts calling noticeably more outside runs and counters. And they work very well. They all go for 8 to 10 yards.

Still aren't good at blitzing and finishing.

So often our guys are close enough to hear the QB whisper, but for whatever reason, can't seem to grab him.

Still no juice from the TEs. There's just no athleticism or spark. Good on Lofton to get a TD tho.

Refs continue to **** with Miami. First half was fine. Its like they were trying to prevent a blowout.

Has Miami found itself offensively? The slow, overly methodical unit we saw in Dallas vs SMU, and for much of the first half vs the Cuse, was a fun and productive one against NCState. It's not like there is a new team out there, it's the same roster -- but with some new faces and some variation in their attack.

Pringe, Moore, Upshaw are in the mix more than in previous weeks and they have given this offense an injection of energy. And most of all, it's fun and it's creating points

Going back to Pringle, he seems to have 'it'. He's not big, but Girard has that innate vision, and is slippery -- with a real burst. I don't care that he's a true freshman, at this point he needs to be a central component of this offense. Reminds me a bit of Clinton Portis in 1999, you just saw a guy who made things happen with his playmaking ability

I still would like to see more tempo( early in games) with our offense, but I do appreciate the creativity. The players are feeding off of that and having fun. Also, it's creating points and what we saw was a team that eventually created a feeding frenzy that positively impacted both sides of the ball

Because as the defense was allowed to play with a lead, you saw them come downhill and really dictate to the Wolfpack from the time they went up 10-0 on the Jakobe Thomas pick six. Again, playing from ahead with the superior team makes this game so easy.

Speaking of Thomas, he's challenging Jaelen Phillips for the best defensive transfer portal defensive player in Miami history. Today the loss of Deionte Scott was not felt.

Overall, the defense was stout. Mesidor was dominant, and Bain was Bain (again, he impacts the game far more than the stats suggest) and the defensive backfield was sticky all day

This is the best game UM has played since dominating USF back in September. Hopefully, this carries over into Vatech and Pitt. Just keep winning and let the chips fall where they may. What I saw today was a playoff team, whether it becomes one remains to be seen. But the goal was to finish 3-0. 1 down, two to go.

I had a feeling all week that this would be a Miami blowout. Then when I did the analysis and saw how young NC State was (second least experience of any opponent) I felt even more confident.

nice to see pass after pass after pass instead of one pass, run the A gap, one more pass, run into the A gap.

We are playing more air-raidish and it has energized the team and gotten beck into a rhythm. Mario, please stick with this change.

Yeah playing to becks strength and great pass blocking OL

Hetherman and this defense is sick. Great hire by Mario and unbelievable portal additions (Scott, Poyser,Thomas, Toure, Blay, Lucas). All extremely key pieces and some of our best players

Offense is better but still too slow of a pace, bad clock management and the run game scheme is weird. Get our speed out in space!

Our defense has been really good all year. Heatherman was a great hire. Dawson needs to be replaced. Mario needs to get his mits off the offense. I think we are wasting a lot of talent the way we operate on O. Beck is average. We need another legit QB

That's what you took from today? Tough crowd.
