The Denbrock game plan was definitely very strange. It felt he was trying to outsmart us, thinking we'd sell out on the run. (Also, if that was the plan, maybe do more play-action, but I digress). It almost feels like he thought our secondary and scheme would be the same as last year, that we'd sell out on the run AND have a terrible secondary. It was peculiar for sure.

I also love how they are having the complete opposite reaction to their coaches. "Freeman is ****ed about the game plans. Wouldn't want to be our coordinators." Meanwhile all our fans point fingers at Mario. Ummm, do you think Freeman had zero input or knowledge of the game plan? You can question a coordinator all you want, but in the end it always falls on the head coach.

Love ran the ball like 13 times a game last season… they think he should’ve had 30 carries?

Denbrock is super overrated. He had success with Jayden Daniels, Desmond ridder and Riley Leonard. All very good college qbs who could run. He wants his guy to run the football. Maybe that’s why the QB battle was so close.

yea this POV from fans I don't entirely get. (I know they had Leonard last year), but Love legitimately averaged 12 touches PER GAME last year (10 rushes per game, just under 2 catches per game, on average)....

He's great, yes, but has never shown to be a bell-cow back taking on 20+ touches in games.

Honestly, he wasn't working with much. Their OL was being blasted (look at the PFF grades for the tackles, lol). And with a first-time starting QB, running passing plays that take longer to develop would've gotten him killed. Same goes for the running game. They weren't getting anything, and the only times they did were pretty harmless 5-yard QB runs. Their biggest pass play came because of a broken play (with a 3-man rush!), not something to bank on happening every time out. We just straight whupped them. No amount of gameplanning is gonna help out when they're getting dominated in the trenches like that.

He was hobbled with so few touches, I gotta think they’re trying to protect him to some degree. Which is absolutely the right thing w possible 15 games.

Going to be hilarious when they beat A&M and then it becomes "Miami beat us because it was opening week, if we see them down the road we blow their doors off"

These guys really watched a game where they got whooped on the line of scrimmage and needed ref help and think they should have won and that Miami played an A+ game and they played their worst possible game.

Would not be nervous about that rematch in the playoffs.
 
I was bored and decided to listen to The Echoes podcast with Mike Golic and
Jessica Smetana. OMG!! Delusional and sanctimonious, especially Smetana.

BTW Smetana loathes Miami, both the City and team. You can tell she took the loss personally. Now I’m ****ed we didn’t win by a couple of touchdowns. Smug ****hole.

They probably studied a lot of Minnesota’s film from last year, and to be honest it didn’t look what I thought it would look like. Different fronts and the defense played way faster than I thought playing in a new scheme
 
Both teams need to understand its game 1 and the opponent was a Top10 team. I hate ND, but they’re not out of it yet. We’re not guaranteed a spot either. Lots of football left to be played in 2025 and hopefully beyond…my $0.02

Go Canes!
