I give you all my word, I'll let it go after this...

It hurts!!!!!!

So many what ifs? Especially check down to toney.

I still think beck can make the throw. the flea flicker beck threw was a "dyme" to toney against fsu.. around the same length as the int against Indiana, just a bad throw.


And i do like the kill shot cause I beileve bain,mesi,wes,jakobe, and agent 0 Scott would have a say in the matter.

Beck is also another reason why mensah decided to join UM. Just like cam is the reason why beck decided to join UM.

Coach Cristobal!!!!

I can live with bad throws but not a bad read from my veteran qb.

It’s cover 2 and you know you have no receiver going to occupy the CB. You know from film review that Indiana is smart and they do not cover grass if no routes go to their zone. And they have shown you this all game.

That throw needed to be outside shoulder…but in reality it shouldn’t have been thrown at all

Its the velocity on the throw that will always get me.. like a better throw that beats great coverage.

Marion wasn't expecting it and if that's not talked in huddle or no sig given than mos Def choice is the under neath to toney. Based on time,coverage and also what's been the bread and butter all yr for UM.

But I have rewatched that last play of the title game about 10 times the last 2 days and if Beck puts a tad more mustard on that pass it's a TD and we would talking about back-to-back with #7.

It's just the little things, man!

I don't do a "what if" in this case because Beck doesn't have the arm to make that type of throw. He overestimated himself.
 
as to the bauman play, I'm no expert and i only played HS football and pop warner, but we were taught to take wide splits and block the guy directly in front of us or to the inside of of us. The wide splits allow the punt formation to be wide enough that the guy on the end is too far away to effect the punt when he comes from the outside. We were taught to ignore the dude as the formation set up effectively eliminated the outside guy. i think an argument can be made that the problem was not bauman but joyce who needed to stay in the pocket behind his second wall.
Facts i was a punter

Take a look at the screenshots that I posted. The snap went off to the right, Joyce had to go right just to catch the snap.

Also, I agree with your past coaching as it relates to American-style punters, who approach as they kick in more of a direct line towards the center. However, Miami has had multiple Aussie-style punters for the last 5 or 6 years, all of whom skew to the right on their approach just prior to punting the ball.

This should not have been an issue, if Bauman had just made an effort to impede the rusher, rather than ASSUMING that all was good behind him.
 
Another angle, from the side, which clearly shows that Bauman ISN'T EVEN LOOKING TO HIS "INSIDE SHOULDER THREAT":

Another angle, from behind, which shows Bauman turning his body to the outside to wave the rusher past him, thus not even facing the non-existent "inside shoulder threat". ****, you can see the U on Bauman's helmet, meaning his head is turned nearly 90 degrees to face the SIDELINE, and he is not facing upfield:

Final angle, showing that not only was Joyce NOT outside the has OR outside of Bauman, but was almost directly behind the CENTER-deep blocker:

Look, if you want to get @Lance Roffers in here, I'll tell him he's wrong, directly. Same as what Kirk Herbstreit said on the broadcast. No matter what, I do not believe it was the intention of Lance Roffers to say that Bauman was "correct" in releasing the outside rusher when he ultimately does not turn to block an "inside rushing threat". Lance is too smart to say something like that.
I think Bauman screwed up. I've said so. I said his first responsibility is the inside shoulder of a rush. Once he's not threatened there, he needs to take the free rusher.

It is my contention that Joyce also got too far outside and invited a straight line rush when he didn't need to and was pretty slow on his time to kick.

In the end, it doesn't matter. It was blocked and both will probably tell you they need to be better.
 
I wasn’t worried about IU having time to kick a FG.
Their kicker hit the upright on a 35 yarder and sucked balls in pre game and half time warmup.
They would have needed to get to our 20 for a realistic chance of a FG. They would have had maybe 10 seconds left to go from the 25 to our 20.
They would have had 40 seconds left on the clock if Beck completes the pass. Ole Miss took how long to drive the field?

Even if Marion catches that ball, he would have been knocked out of bounds by the safety who was coming at him like a freight train.

We would have taken a couple plays to get in and ran the clock out.

Moreso, if we don’t attempt that pass and keeping working the short routes, there would have been little to no time left.
