INSTANT REACTION: Miami Falls To Louisville 24-21

Sure, scheme is and issue, but when you’re running tight split duo up the middle for 0-2 yards every play, you are getting physically beaten. When you’re playing 4 down linemen and letting up 7.5 yards a carry to a running back, you are getting physically beaten.
We ran the ball on our 2nd drive 3x inside the 6 and scored. All 3 inside the guard runs.

Next drive we had a 1st down 6 yard run inside negated by an UC on Toney. Next play (inside run) went for 2 yards. Drive ended a couple plays later with a pick.

4th drive Lyle had a 12 yard run off tackle followed by a 1 yard run in the A gap. Drive ended a couple plays later with a pick

5th drive we followed up Toney’s 61 yard catch with a 0 yard A gap dive by Lyle inside the 10. Drive ended with a FG

5 drives where we ran the ball 7x for 19 yards. 4 of those were short yardage inside the 10 yard line. We bullied our way for that 1st TD on the ground with a 225 lb running back. First half it was all scheme. They knew we were running and they knew where we were running.

Second half we abandoned the run completely.

This game had nothing to do with being bullied at the LOS. You can’t block 7 with 5, especially when that 7 knows where it’s going. Same thing in the pass game. Once we became a 1 dimensional pass attack they were able to blitz, pin their ears back and get up field. We did nothing to keep Louisville honest. Think of how many times Louisville handed off in a quick hitter on obvious passing downs that got the first or most of it to set up a manageable 4th.

This was Brohm a great play caller vs Mario and Dawson who are still stuck in some mentality of look how hard we have to work to do simple things.

Absolutely bullied in the trenches. OJ Frédérique can’t cover a #1. Our tight ends are trash. Hundreds of yards in penalties AGAIN. Carson Beck is Tyler Van Dyke.

The loss isn’t unacceptable. The WAY we lost is. More of the same.
This is the ceiling with Mario.
 
Last drive was fine, Beck doesn’t throw that interception we tie or score. We ate up the clock to either tie or win the game. Dawson doesn’t throw the ball.

Nothing good will happen when the left side of your OL blocks like this…

 
Mirabal is the run game coordinator!!!!!

We fell for a lot of the same hype again

“Best OL in the country” - WRONG. They’re good, but the lack of push in the run game coupled with the penalties means this unit is just good and not elite.

“Best secondary in the country” - not even close. OJ got cooked all night

“Deep WR room” - it’s been all Toney and Daniels. We have no WR3

“Lofton is elite” - was hyped as the best player on the team. He’s had little impact

“Best RB trio” - the calls do them no favor but there’s been no explosiveness from this unit
