Miami @ Stanford 9-4-2026 Game Thread

[TallyCaneFan]

Fletch is way more effective out of the pistol. didnt we all learn this in the playoffs last year?

Agree but not even sure that works against 8-9 man box

 

[Astcloud11]

We just ran into 9 in the box

And it still works if we bounce it outside instead of running into the back of our blockers.

Iiking the tempo in general
We are snapping ball much sooner
Make it a track meet

Not sure why we aren’t in Pistol

True ... not waiting until under 10 secs to line up like last year

Fletcher haters are foaming at the mouth now

He broke 17 tackles to get 5 yards a bit ago

 

[Canes Stan]

I mean there is nowhere to run

You’re not wrong

Not getting much with fletch. Give brown a few more touches.

The best run blocking has been the brown TD… otherwise Fletcher is getting contact in the backfield

Idk how Buchanan is going because SJ looks absolutely brutally bad… Rodriguez was always gonna need strong guard play but if he can snap you have to live with it. But the guards whiffing on blocks and getting bullied ain’t it

 

[Sabetta]

Our run concepts are brutal

Fletcher ran all over 4 playoff teams and broke the record.

What a luxury that we're using a conference game, week 1, to work through and find our best OL combos lol

 

[Theu954]

Let’s put Toney on ice for the rest of the game

NOT UNTIL HE GETS 300 YARDS

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Seems like Samson is holding down the LT spot? Haven’t watched the OL too much maybe I’m wrong

Congdon and Cantwell looked massive last drive. 20 yards rushing on 4 touches when they were in there

 

[Canesrule230]

And that’s what this game for. Open competition

Yea I hope we use this tape to shuffle the oline

 

[drewm3i]

Notice they also took Mali out after he caught it because they knew the 2 mins was coming up. Extra time to recover.

These guys don't understand that sucking the clock and going up 28-3 at half is A+ strategy, and straight genius! We are not trying to score on every play or right away, but i am sure we could if we absolutely had to. We are playing near-flawless team/organizational football so far, and it is **** beautiful.

 

[Babscanes]

I knew we would take a step back on the OL and DL this year. I’m just really concerned about the ol right now. They look lost, soft and overall just bad.

Lots of work to be done and it’s game one but the inside looks terrible. Couple that with Dawson not using the pistol for Fletcher and it’s scary bad

How about Pringle to the outside to at least give Stanford something else to defend

Fletcher haters are foaming at the mouth now

Fletch is a wear you down body blow back. Run’em over in the 4th

 

[rascon]

Would love to hear from the insiders the difference between what happened at practice vs what seeing tonight from the interior oline. Because there appears to be a pretty big disconnect over who should be playing.

 

[YLCANE]

Karen? Lol I meant it as a joke

My bad

 

[Gru]

Mensah is electric.

 

[MiamiCanesFan77]

Beautiful.

 

[nycane]

Fletcher also takes time to get going. Plus our interior line is brand new

 

[flips]

Upshaw is a baaaaad man
