Louisville Cardinals @ Miami Hurricanes 10/17/2025

[ThomasM]

It doesnt matter. The odds are Louisville would outlast us in OT so we should try to go for the win in regulation. It's coaching. Brohm badly outcoached Mario tonight.

No canes fan saw this coming tonight. I certainly didn't.

Just an absolute joke of a performance at home with everything on the line tonight.

Based on the last 24 years, I guess I should have almost expected that

I think, deep down, a lot of us were worried. We knew we had the more talented team. We also knew their coach is far better than ours.

My biggest gripe about Mario being hired was that he lost too often to inferior teams that just happened to have a more talented game day coach. I was hoping this year would be different, as we have just looked so much better this year. Nope. We played with fire, again, and got burnt.

I think we miss the kick to tie it, honestly. It was just that kind of game.

 

[SayWhat]

4 million, a million for each INT. Miami doing Miami things. I literally can't help but laugh.

Season isn't dead, but this doesn't inspire one for the rest of it.

 

[Flynell7]

I mean I think they hoping to sneak him out there and that he would get YAC. I don't get folks saying we were playing for a FG. If we had been we woulda just run the ball and kicked it. It was a tough spot with how bad Beck had been playing. We tried to get closer to the end zone with what should have been a low risk throw and it cost us.

The time management and lack of urgency says otherwise

 

[Distructobot3000]

You could just see it as the season went on: with each passing game, after teams were able to accumulate more and more film on our Offense, it just became harder and harder to move the ball. Opposing D coordinators adapted to what we do and we stayed exactly the same. Just seem to rely on superior talent to carry the day. Well, you saw tonight that innovative coaching can help bridge the talent gap. Just imagine if we had both

 

[MikeyCanez]

Our vaunted offensive line got worked pretty good too.

 

[caneworld]

Mario cannot get out of his own way... just conservative, pathetic play calling from Dawson

 

[Unsider]

Probably get killed for this but **** would I love to have him as our head ball coach, with what we have, he would kill it, and he only had 2 players, lol,

Tonight, nobody has any ground to disagree…

 

[TemplarCane]

So…. How will the team respond?

No excuse for losing to Stanford next week unless your course Mario is the next James Franklin, without being fired.

Some people were supposed to go 11-1, but I’m not sure. Pittsburgh could definitely be a rough game up there in late November.

Teams have film on us now.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Hole team shucked Bain did ***** nothing

He did nothing? They throw short passes and ran away from
Him

 

[GirthQuake]

Our secondary is still cheeks

 

[Ispyin]

Well fellas, yall boys be safe tonight. See yall next Saturday. Go Canes don’t let this program ruin your weekend.

 

[ageezy]

And as usual, a solid coach showed the blueprint for how to beat us, so now we are up against it for the rest of the year

meh ... personnel too ... bell was solid ... wish we would have challenged him at the line ... my concern is if we make the playoffs we gotta be a whole lot better

 

[Calinative]

with 30 seconds left they were about to throw a 3 yard pass out of a timeout to Lofton?????smhhhhhhhhh

Mario and Dawson are conservative pussies. Can't convince me otherwise. It's been one of my biggest criticisms of Mario the past few years.

I'd rather lose with Beck pushing the ball down the field than how we played after that 2nd INT.

These guys literally don't comprehend that running for 2 yards up the middel 15 times per game is ******* horrible for your pass game and overall expected win%.... but oh "they don't lose yards".... yeah that ******* gameplan is fine if you have Cam Ward and he's overriding you and pushing the ball downfield and picking explosive 10+ yard plays constantly.

 

[ageezy]

after one loss ... ?

 

[Calinative]

We literally wont be in the ACC Championship game now I'd bet.

 

[Crimpy]

I said that UM is not clearly better than any of the blue bloods, and yall sat on this site and believed that Miami was gonna just bulldoze their way to a playoff appearance. This loss is due to the complacency and entitlement.

I will say this again, the run game is absolute trash. It is the most predictable scheme in the country.

And you'd think with all of the running plays we do, we'd run at least run ONE play-action. It's stunning how bad our playbook is.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

I hope when Dawson leaves we get a Bette oc . Idc what people say he’s not that good . All that talent he don’t know how how to use it .

 

[PIPO]

Mario was playing for a shorter field goal based on the short throw call.

He's such a *****!!!

You have 2 timeouts and they have 1.

******* try to move the ball downfield and win the game.

Mario and Shannon are ******* us.

Beck is not far behind.
