Miami running up the score

DTP said:
A few points here, most of which you guys have already addressed.

1. We’ve got second and third string players in the game and we’re running the ball. Are we supposed to just take a knee? Or punt on first down?

2. We could be fighting for an at large playoff spot which is determined by a group of people who didn’t watch a second of that game. All they see is Miami 42 Stanford 7. If they see Miami 28 Stanford 7 it could potentially hurt our playoff chance.

3. And this is ironic with the SEC’s annual late season cupcake games right around the corner but Miami winning by 35 against a P5 opponent is nowhere near as bad as obliterating some FCS school with 190 pound defensive linemen 70-0. Nobody bats an eye when sacrificial lambs get physically dominated to the point of where it might not even be safe for them. But Miami beats Stanford, a P5 team, who had just beaten Florida State the week before by 35 and it’s some kind of travesty?

**** outta here with that ****.

Class is to take a knee. Mario should be smarter and put those second and third stringers in the beginning of the 4th quarter.

I think most of you are missing the total point. First of all the game was in full control and the second and third stringers should have been in there a very long time ago. Second, you don't try to score right at the end of the game, NEVER EVER when the game is a blowout.. I've been to UM games since the 1983 season and this was done in very poor taste to say the least. Lastly, for you homers that think you know everything if Dan Lanning was beating us 35-7 with a couple of seconds on the clock and he scored a TD right at the end almost everyone one of you would be screaming bloodly murder and cursing him out. Better yet Brian Kelly did the same thing. Been watching and attending big time football game for over 64 years and to score right at the end was pathetic and totally unsportsmanlike.. What comes around goes around! Again, Mario shows the Country his zero no gameday awareness and football acumen. For you other clowns who insist I'm a troll forget that. I love UM just like you fans and and been to every meaningful game since 1983 including three National Championship games and every wide right and left game with FSU whether here or at Doak Campbell. Been to every major ND game home or away. All of you love Toney and I do too. How in the world do you take the ball out of this kids hands the last two games where we were in serious trouble and not giving him a chance to return a couple of punts. MARIO TOOK SIX TO's to the locker at halftime the last two games. Such a brilliant tactician he is.

Had we not lost to Louisville he may not have done that. But margin of victory matters especially given who you’re playing against. We won big and still dropped a spot. We need help… we don’t play GT. It’s not just we need to win every game our final ranking matters too.

It’s a lot of coaches not letting their foot off the gas at the end of games. Some of our favorite past coaches did the same. These coaches are in a different climate now… they have to win a lot and win big or they’re out.
 
You guys are aware that these guys have been doing a segment for years called "Bad Beats", where they look at the late in the game covers/non-covers for gambling purposes, yes?

Miami was favored by roughly 30, depending when you bet it. They were up by 28 at the time. If you had Stanford, you're rooting for them to take the knee. If you had Miami, you needed them to score. The spread was in the balance. So, if you had Stanford, it's a pretty "bad beat" because Miami could easily have taken a knee to end the game 35-7, and you win.

That's why these guys talk about this ****. If that TD was irrelevant to the spread, it wouldn't have been mentioned. Relax.

Also.....4 pages on a Fansided article? You guys are better than that. I think.

We have no choice, there will be no favors given to us on or off the field.
That has got to be our mentality the rest of the season

So just running the ball isn’t good enough? We have to empty the bench and just stop running plays or risk hurting another team’s feelings? What’s the point of even playing the reserves if they’re not going to run actual plays? They’re not getting game experience by taking a knee three times and then punting.

I would also have rather seen us go up 35-0 at the half, then see a 7-7 second half with the backups in there. That was a pitiful first half. Especially considering we were coming off a loss.

Agree with all of this. We just looked really flat during the first half. (on offense.)

If / when we make it to the playoffs, a lousy first half equals a loss. Better teams will capitalize. Stanford is just a terrible team.
 
Didn't read every comment so forgive me if these points were already made. #1 We still dropped in rankings so clearly we didn't "run up the score" enough #2 as mentioned on the OBB Podcast, we covered the spread, we didn't double the spread so how is that running it up? #3 Back up players work their asses off all week, are they supposed to "not score"? WTF? #4 Why is is ok for Ohio State to run it up and the narrative is always "they did what you're supposed to" #5 F all of them!
 
Notice how we don't get "credit" for kneeling or not snapping it in the times where we've had the ball going in with the clock running down with a chance to score super late. But we always get blame when we keep playing and the other team doesn't stop us.

Double standard.
 
We need to score 100 if we can. We are in a very tough situation with losing the tiebreaker to both Louisville and Virginia. Crazy situation if everyone wins out. Remember, Virginia has to lose twice. It generally works itself out, but with us involved you know it won’t.
 
Half of the media thinks we ran up the score with our RB5 scoring, the other half dropped us in the rankings for not winning enough.

No such thing as indifference toward this brand.

The part that kills me is that if you are Alabama losing by 8 in 4th quarter to an unranked team after getting outplayed the whole game, then come back and win because you were gifted a fumble, it is a great win. But if you are Miami and you shoot yourself in the foot the entire first half then blow out Stanford in the second half, barely allowing a first down, it was a bad win.
Also Vandy with a 265 yard offensive performance playing a team who lost their starting QB in second half and just about gave up game tying TD at end that was an inch short gets catapulted. Please what a joke.

SVP and Stanford Steve Question Late Miami TD as Vengeance for Mario Cristobal

So hilarious they bring up Jimmy and the Shame. What about 1973? or 1977? Didn't matter when Notre Dame was running up the score at all
 
We were playing true freshman and reserves, those kids need live reps, Pringle got the tuddy. Cost me money but I’m happy they didn’t just kneel the ball.
 
"Hey guys you are busting your tails at practice, making 1st team better, and you should be rewarded for that without airing it out all over the field; but I need you to take it easy on Stanford and not score because we dont want to hurt anyones feelings"
