Miami Hurricanes vs Indiana Hoosiers; College National Championship

[MiamiVice7]

He did have his jersey. Coulda maybe let it go too

Both were grabbing and ball was inside.

And I remember seeing CJ’s entire shoulder pad on an earlier play called great defense, too.

Yes they are but there should be opportunities to exploit given our talent.

They look equally talented though. Definitely tackling better. All over our WRs

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.

Nah that made no sense. Why go for it deep on your side and then put Carter Davis in a tough spot when he’s been struggling as of late for that far out.

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.

I dont Buy that especially if you aren’t going to be consistent. Ponds was doing that same thing all game yet he hasn’t been called

Agree with that too he should have been called too

 

[TooColdToHold]

Man this possession is crucial. Cignetti probably wants to go for the kill right here.

 

[TallyCaneFan]

I think he'll be different this half. He's got nothing to lose.

His absolute las college game.

**** bring in Pringle at this point. Switch this **** up.

What happened to Pringle? Had that quick juice run vs Ole Miss aint seen him since

 

[ArchersFury]

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

Bull**** coaches job is to put your players in the best position to win banging your head against the wall just saying play better is awful coaching.

 

[CityboyCanes4life82]

We need a turnover

 

[frostycane]

Maybe but I think it’s more to do with we’re going back to early season tendencies.

We’ve abandoned the pistol which has been by far our best running scheme.

We’re not utilizing playaction well except for the one throw to CJ.

We just didn’t show up on offense and they’re going to play keep away to minimize the amount of plays our offense gets. They’re out playing us at our own game and Dawson is just accepting it

Our D isn’t helping with the super soft zones.
We generally make good adjustments, so here goes

 

[ristwasdown]

Wake the **** up

 

[djh]

Lucas is about to play in 2nd half so I hope will make huge positive impacts on our D.

 

[drewm3i]

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

You're forgetting cheap.

Yup. NGL, I am drinking heavily right now.

 

[RickySpanish]

Of all of our playoff games, this is the one I wasn't worried about. Wtf

 

[SouthCak Cane]

Kionte let’s get a turnover

 

[ZeroBeachCane3]

MESI

 

[Stingarov]

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.

I agree

How wow, you walked up the cbs
