Looking ahead to Ohio state

[Kn[]_[]ckles3o5]

Personally, I think OSU is more vulnerable than people think. Their offense is good on paper but struggles to put up points in big games. Seems like they come out sluggish in first halves and turn it on in the 2nd half. But their best win is against that team with P Diddy as their coach, because as we know, week 1 wins don’t count and are a figment of everyone’s imagination since Texas got significantly better as the year moved on. Are they still really good? Yes. But are they invincible? Absolutely not.

Our offensive performance today really concerns me. taint has a way better defense than A&M so if we get a W in the cotton bowl I expect it to look a lot like our win today

As crazy as it sounds, I think we match up with OSU better than A&M.

Completely agree. I feel our guys are "feeling it" in the playoffs. If we can get Beck to lock in, we should beat the Suckeyes. If we can do that, I feel we will win this whole thing. Man, what a feeling. Let's go Canes!

Wouldn’t necessarily say that. First thing that jumps to mind is we haven’t faced a true good passing qb yet, just lots of scramblers.

Reed, B. Brown, Castellanos, Jennings, Lagway, Bailey

What we had to compromise for in terms of containing scramblers we should get back in terms of coverage though.

I mean, I get it I know every game is different, but I don't think they've seen a D-line as good as ours, on the other hand, their defense as a whole is the best we've faced all year

Be nice if at least 33% of the crowd is pro Miami.

Their D scares me more than the O

I think there are so many ways that this is setting up for us to pull the upset. One of the many is that point spread. Now all we need is for some of OSU's OL to talk trash about Bain and Mesi.

They are a paper tiger imo
They played No One all year
Sayin is gonna see athletes of same caliber and size for first time

I LOVE where Miami is at
It’s Us against world and has been since SMU
Miami played 3 in a row in hostile environments w no issues
This is setting up nicely imo

And we have knocked rust off and are used to fighting for our lives….i got a feeling

14 points is really the max their defense has given up this year. Last Illinois TD was in garbage time. Their defense is nuts. Texas and Indiana the only teams that had decent success running the ball against them. Hopefully we can do something similar. But Beck needs to be elite. I don't think it's reasonable to expect our defense to hold them under 20 points.

They played DOG **** all year
Even texas
It was first game for arch
I think we have the skill to get after them

It was windy as ***
I’m not worried at all tbh
And we knocked rust off after layoff
We are coming in in a great spot

 

[SayWhat]

Come out and attack, not play timid, and we'll ***** slap them into their off season.

Wow Thomas was in at the end. I just watched the play Toure got knocked out and Thomas was in. Huge!!!

How
Ohio State has an accurate QB that can actually throw
Better WRs
and their Dline is actually good against the run. There back 7 is probably the best in the nation. Best DB and LB in the nation on defense.

 

[JHallCanes]

They played a dog**** schedule and struggled more than most fans here would know unless you watched

Going from Chip and Howard to Hartline and Sayin was a massive downgrade and it showed

Still their defense is as good as it gets

Expect a bloodbath again but they are absolutely beatable

 

[caneworld]

From here on, it is line up and beat whoever is lined up in front of you.. its college; any team can have a bad day or a lucky day... win and move on.

 

[EudocimusAlbus]

Score and Momentum. If we can move on that defense, we cookin

 

[E1k]

Dawson has to come with a much better gameplan
