Miami Hurricanes vs Indiana Hoosiers; College National Championship

[Stingarov]

If that last pass was 4-6 inches higher we'd be celebrating the game winning TD instead. Truly a game of inches.

Though I will never forgive Bauman for his inexplicable decision to stop blocking on the punt and let his guy go, especially given our punter rolls out to that side to kick. If he were beaten, well that happens, but he just consciously decided to let the guy go

This, **** Bauman.

 

[Steve44]

Beck didn’t lose us the game

**** nooooo.

Our special teams was -10 points. We lost by 6. Period.

Not eating any of our own here. These boys gave it all.

Dawson and mario should have literally told him only throw check downs all the way down field.

He wanted glory for absolutely no reason. We had EASY yards getting to the 20ish with ease with like 30 secs. There was zero logic to going for it all

We did not drive down the field against Ole Miss with check downs. He pushed the ball and threw it over the middle of the field.

Beck will be remembered as an average QB, who threw the interception that ruined the dreams of millions of people in Miami! Why, we were going down the field!

Hey I wish he finished that last drive but I am so thankful for Carson Beck #11 Thanks for a great ride CB!!

 

[nvlahos]

Incredible fight by our guys

But Unfortunately Too many mistakes by Miami to overcome in a game like this

 

[CaneandAbel]

Or marion didn't run the route correctly.

Very possible. It looked like that all game for Marion. They were never on the same page for the most part which makes this decision even more questionable

 

[bacane]

Beck threw a pick to end the game all 3 losses this year.

That’s exactly how we should have expected a loss to end.

Put yourself in catch-up game & bad stuff happens. Marion also did him no favors. Late tracking ball & didnt react. He’s nearing end zone & just starting to look back.

I agree. Check downs would have got us to where we could have done basically anything we wanted. We’re so good from 10-15 yards out and so bad with explosives and we tried to win it on an explosive play.

Greed cost us there for sure.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

I agree with the special teams, but thats not on Heatherman!

Exactly. I never said Hetherman was the problem. The defense played great as much as they were put into a bad situation by the offense.

 

[ArchersFury]

The 1st half lost us a game spotted them a 10-0 lead and it was too much to overcome they fought till the end and we are still headed in the right direction.

Dawson either needs to go or have a long look in the mirror took way to long to adjust.

Felt like Marion wasnt expecting the pass so idk about that

 

[miamiphd]

That drive was set up so nicely for us to steal the natty

All the IU hype, Mendoza hype, the mistakes we made and the game was there to win

Just take the check downs, intermediate stuff get to the 30 then go for it

Heck I’ve seen hook and laterals lately that would have worked to get closer

We needed to just get closer

This really hurts we had this

Yes it hurts when you consider that inferior teams have done it to UM over the last 15 years.

 

[calleja]

We def shut down all that '19 LSU talk

 

[Tr[]_[]Zoe]

Crazy read by beck at the end. 1 wr on that side. Corner and safety over the top. We don't even send a route to the safety to keep him occupied.

 

[TemplarCane]

Good night. And good luck.

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

We had the ball at the end of the game with a chance to win and Beck noodle arms an INT to a WR that wasn’t even looking.

GTFOH with that “that last drive didn’t lose us the game” BS.

Mendoza with his team on the line on 4th & 5 runs thru our best defenders for a TD..Beck with all the marbles in his hands to deliver is #6 throws a game ending int just like he did against SMU. Great season love what we were able to do but tonight would’ve been won with a QB like Cam at the helm

 

[Bigfoot]

Just ******* sucks man. There are no guarantees in football. When you get your chance you seize the moment.

The things that have plagued us all year , showed up again tonight.

This loss is going to sting for a bit. Hate it for the players.

Agree. Defense was on the field too much in the 1st half. It's a testament to their abilities and hearts that they still gave UM a chance with 2:00 left.

 

[IamaCane4Life]

Its so hard to criticize, but our FK, Punting protection, Bain, O’Connor, and Beck caused us the game. That was the difference!

Indiana was not a great team, but we were not great!

Late to turn & track ball.
