Miami Hurricanes vs Indiana Hoosiers; College National Championship

[contract]

Mario reverted back to being conservative. I don't blame him. His thought is get the game to a 1 possession game. If he went for it and didn't make it, we'd all be saying he should have kicked the FG and got the game to one score.

That's how fans are.

Joaquin said dominate. OL where you at??

 

[mr.h]

Physically break the little ********…our lines are not getting any push. I hope our guys are getting ****ed off.

hot take ... THIS ISNT ON DAWSON, OUR OLINE WAS DOG **** ... WE HAVE TO RUN ON A LIGHT BOX

FU and your goofy *** response. If you had a clue about football, you'd know I'm right.

Your momma is a man

 

[CityboyCanes4life82]

When your OC isn't scheming them open by calling plays that stretch the Defense... What do you expect.

They're literally bringing the Safeties up because they know we like short and medium throws.

This is the Championship trust Carson Beck to lead you and stop playing scared.

Exactly, I just mention this. Trust Beck to get it down, you can still pound the rock but trust your QB.

Fire Dawson

Can we replace Bauman with a WR instead of splitting him out wide?

 

[TooColdToHold]

**** Indiana is what people said they were. Remarkably consistent and disciplined.

 

[who]

Every year we’re dragging the corpse of Shannon Dawson. Ward last year, defense this year. Enough is enough, get him outta here.

 

[MiamiCanesFan77]

Need a stop or turnover on this first drive of the half.

Even giving up a FG… especially on a long drive… might be too much.

 

[YLCANE]

we need to play-action out of the pistol.

we need to run more creative route combos, challenge those safeties, run some clearouts for Malachi instead of letting him get beat up underneath.

Agree

speak for yourself you goofy ****

100. Like no one thought we should avoid kicking 40+ yard FGs before the game. Also:

3 misses of the 3/7 in the playoffs were in 197 mph winds and another was 51 or 52 yards last game.

He's still just 4/7 from 40+ over the last 9 games if you exclude the TAMU game. So we are either averaging 1.33pt/Davis kick or 1.71 from 40+.

It doesn't make sense to keep kicking them snapping the ball from ~25-35 yard line if it's 4th and medium or less. I'd go for everything 4th & 6 or less from the 25-35 yard line. Even though he made it, we should have gone for it on 4th and 2 from the 32 against OSU, with the way he has been kicking.

Would be shocked if Cignetti doesn’t come out and try to blow this open. He doesn’t like the way our defense is treating Mendoza. He’ll pull something out of his bag right here.

He wasn’t trying first half of the natty with our best corner out? Yeah ok. Get a stop and score.

 

[motorcitycane]

We just need one game chaning play.

Turnover right now would be ******* great

 

[Caniac16]

Their gameplan is to overload box, and sit on short routes because they dont think we can run by them deep.

They are also dropping 8 every time we throw. Idk man. They are prepared AF

 

[AUcane]

I sure hope we’re not going to end the season with a bunch of DNPs for the younger guys.

 

[UBaby93]

Bring in Pringle outside runs with the G pulling leading the way for Pringle. Take TE Bauman out put in another WR to keep them on their toes.

That's just it, I don't care what plays we run, we aren't getting our usual push. And then when we finally get a little Fletcher trips over the defensive lineman's leg.

 

[Babscanes]

Beck looks frustrated. Hope he spoke up at half.

The OL is getting pushed around, too.

Exactly. Let him play for Christ sake. We need to press this defense. Let him throw it
