List of Miami defensive players better than Ohio States “1st round talent”

Advertisement
As some stated I agree, we still have work to do at corner when it comes to having true elite lock down skill and speed. Yes we are currently in a good spot with what we have on the roster, but it can get much better. I expect it will as this machine keeps picking up steam.

Our LBs are better.
Have been all season. It's not always the personnel that you can say was better...sometimes its the competition played against and the play calling.
I'd take our front 7 vs theirs all day any day.

It would have been nice for guys like Bissanthe, Popo, Chase Smith to have Heatherman for more than one season. We can really see the development this year. Who knows how good Bissanthe could have been with the right coach. I always thought he was going to be a great one after his freshman year, but it never happened. He may have played himself into the NFL after a good showing this year.

It ain’t a **** conference… honestly feel like coaching is kinda bad.

But it’s picking up quality Rhett, Franklin, Key, and Narduzzi are some quality coach’s that bring a quailty 9/10 win team

There's a bunch of "rah-rah" type coaches that get their teams up for the bigger games, but fumble once they've won a few.. gives the impression that the teams are **** because they don't finish as favorites

Viscous cycle

GT is a great example. Team beats Miami, then loses to BC. The next year, lose to VT then beat Miami the next week.. squeaks by NCST then take UGA to 10 OTs

Viscous cycle

Ain’t no different in the SEC only difference is those stubbed toe games like you listed BC, VT, and say NCstate are Mizzou, Tenn, and Vandy

We see how those 3 performed in their bowl game… and I think there’s a stat that Tenn didn’t beat any other P4 winning team this year yet was ranked all year? The optics look different

McDonald, Downs and J Smith showed up and played great. I will also tip the cap to their QB. he faught his *** off in the face of that pressure and made plays, not enough but he still impressed me. Styles, Reese and Curry were completely and soundly whipped

Chicken Curry is such a ***** *** *****. His comments after the game was such sore loser BS. Typical ohio guy.

McDonald was okay, had a few solid plays but was invisible most of the game, I expected more. With downs he ran the alley well and his impact was felt. Arvell Reese was a no show, Sonny styles made a few plays but that’s about it

He was dominant in the 2H. He is a beast.

ACC has some very good coaches. If everybody had the same amount to investment in NIL and staffs, I think they would outperform a lot of guys in the SEC. Brohm, if he was an above average recruiter, could be elite. Franklin will raise the floor at VT immediately. I know Dabo has fallen off but he was competing with Saban and Smart in his prime.

Doesn't Dabo have playoff wins over Smart, Saban, and Meyers?

Yep. He has fallen off a lot when he lost Morris, Venables, and Elliot. Morris is back and that will help, but we'll see if he can right that ship. One more year ****ting the bed and I don't think they will put up with his schtick any longer

This is silly. Both Miami and OSU have nasty defenses that are physical and love to hit.

D-Line: Miami>OSU. Been this way all season and also in the game. We have a dominant d-line.

Linebackers: OSU>Miami. Yes, our LB's were better in this game and that's all that counts. During the season, OSU's LB's were great all season. Our LB's were solid for most of the season. Average in some games and really good in others.

Safety/Nickel: Miami>OSU. Both had elite safety play all season, but Downs was their main guy. We had Scott, Thomas, Poyser, and Fitzgerald that all played great. Downs would still be a starter here. He's too good to be off the field.

Corner: OSU>Miami. Let's not kid ourselves. OSU's corners were better than Miami's during the season. No disrespect to our corners, but I'd take OSU's.

If our corners also got away with grape, they would be considered great corners too!
 
I don’t necessarily see it as a black and white talent comparison issue. From the opening whistle our guys just flat-out wanted it more. You could just tell Ohio St. didn’t want none of that smoke…Bain basically said as much during his halftime speech. By the way, it was awesome to see the often quiet and unassuming Bain having his Ed Reed moment, but I digress. The bottom line though is that this team just flat-out wants it more than any team on planet earth right now and it’s a beautiful thing to see.
