Miami @ Stanford 9-4-2026 Game Thread

[johnnytsunami01]

Defense needs to improve a bit, but we real good

 

[Shooter McGavin]

It’s game 1. But so far, Mensah is Cam without the holding on to the ball and putting it in jeopardy.

What a ******* dumbass thing to say

28-6 at halftime - I’ll def take it. The oline not getting a lot of push is concerning but we expected there to be some growing pains.

Keona davis has been making plays when he is in

Very underrated pickup I thought the same thing. He looks great.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

Thankfully a lot of 10 and 20

Thank all the God’s and Beyoncé.

Probably won't sleep tonight wondering about Blount and Frederique's injuries.

The defense looks like ***. Honestly lucky to have only given up 6 this half.

I know Stanford is holding like crazy, but it’s a very busted up offensive line for Stanford and we’re getting very little in the way of pressure.

Whats more concerning is that our vaunted secondary has guys running free all over it.

How can a DL get pressure when the OL is tackling them? That's why the refs are calling these holds, they are EGREGIOUS, it's straight up "I'm beat, if I don't tackle this DL, my QB is going to get killed".

Isn’t Stanford oline running with second stringers…

This is the most holds called on an opponent than we see all see with ACC refs… that tells me how bad and obvious it must be

 

[Numb Nuts]

I don't know who I hate more: Lindsay Clancy or Sam Acho

[krashlite1975]

Offense is like 2024. Defense not as good as ‘25

 

[TemplarCane]

Mensah has definitely been that guy, no doubt.

It’s only game one and we’re up 22 points at halftime. Plenty to work on.

Let’s see what the adjustments Heatherman makes at halftime.

Especially if we score to open the half and jump up 35-6.

OJ hasn’t come back in since the first play

See post 872 in this thread or page 44 about halfway down

Thanks!

Not having Keionte Scott to do so much in the secondary is depressing. He made up for a lot of deficiencies

Give Thornton and Bryce some time to figure out how to play mop-up - it's game 1, half 1.

 

[canester95]

Only this board could be so dour up 20+

And I LOVE IT…Good to be back y’all’s

 

[citizenkane]

Mensah leads receivers perfectly. the YAC is killing Stanford due to the accuracy of his passes

 

[Hold My Beer]

It’s game 1. But so far, Mensah is Cam without the holding on to the ball and putting it in jeopardy.

Worth noting that Mensah has Mali and Cam didn't

 

[FL Cane]

Not concerned about the Defense. Lots of new guys they need reps to gel. DBs are good, just giving too much cushion. Contrary to popular belief Warren’s a decent QB and they have some nice pieces

 

[Hoyacane1620]

If Damari is one of our top 3 CBs, then our DB talent level has been extremely exaggerated.. he's just not a P4 level CB

never understood the hype on him

 

[YLCANE]

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

As long as Mensah doesn’t take unnecessary shots
I’d like a cleaner pocket tbh

We can’t *** around get the best five out there now!
