Miami vs Ohio Taint Quarterfinals Playoffs 12/31/25 Game Thread

And on the 3rd and 20 had CJ wide open for easy 12-15 yards which would have put Miami back in FG range

Carson has definitely missed on at least 3-4 simple passes.

Hopefully he gets back in a good streak the 2nd half.

We need more Pringle. Need Brown in short yardage.

Need to involve our TEs. Dawson is just awful utilizing tight ends.

We've only generated 7 points on offense. I think we need to use Pringle more. Fletcher isn't going to be able to out-muscle all of these Buckeye defenders. We need more burst out of the backfield.

We knew points were going to be hard to come by. We probably should have had 17 but if you had told me before tonight that we’d be up 14-0 at the half (even if it was 7-0) I would have taken it. OSU has a very good defense.

Ran into John Ruiz during half time in club section lol.

 

[Bender]

Siap…I know it was a long drive but should we be alarmed that Bain and mesidor being gassed already given we dominated TOP and that they have been subbed with Lightfoot in the first half?

I don’t think we’re going to dominated TOP like we did In the first half so we’re going to need them more in the second.

Nah. They're playing at their absolute peak of capability. As is everyone else. People are throwing their bodies around and fighting as if their lives depend on it.

This is the best pure effort I've ever seen on a football field so far.

 

[P-Tizzle]

Is it okay if I ask for more Pringle please?

 

[KingB02]

The O’Conner play would have been a massive flag

Good to see that not called

He was already tackling buddy. How tf would he know he dropped the ball?

 

[CityboyCanes4life82]

Big drive to start third . It’ll tell a lot

If Miami‘s offense can score 14 points that’s a safe place to be. That means Ohio State will have to score at least 30 points in this half. I feel good about the defense being able to hold.

I agree on this. Bad series by him.

Hopefully we only see one bad series in the 2nd half by him as well. We can survive with that.

While it’s halftime, what did yall think of Scott’s pick 6? I jumped out of my recliner and woke my son up lol

The Apple Watch kindly let me know my heart rate shot to 120 BPM after not moving for 10 mins

 

[Applecane]

Need some long drives on O to keep the D rested. Bain was breathing hard at the end...

 

[Pradege]

This posession out of half time, will important to have them go without any points.

 

[joeB954]

Blount was held too

They are gonna let them get away with pretty much everything. Gotta overcome it and win anyway. We are the better team.

Why did we call a time out for them when they had the ball ? We helped them trying to be greedy . Ran Toney out side took 3 of the board . Yeah I don’t get how they over turned bells 1st down either . Guess on the filed call only matters when you’re not Miami . Beck is playing smart , I like that he is taking his 4 yards on runs . It’s frustrating them and most important killing the clock

Hey, we all know about Mario and timeouts. Just have to overcome that liability.

 

[WndyCityCane]

Anyone else just shaking because of nerves?

It’s been 22 years since i was at that Fiesta Bowl.

 

[SFbayCane]

Nope im greedy and want to coach smart . Should be 17 to 0 with out any time to try to the filed goal

Beck needed to throw that first down ball away. No need to take a coverage sack after 6 or 7 seconds like that. It ruined the drive.


And we need to see Pringle get carries. Fletcher wont be able to out-muscle this defense.

[Rocketcitycane06]

We couldn’t run it in the first half

I think we can get it going.

Had a quick ****.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

If we had a Heatherman equivalent as the OC, we’d be winning by 4 scores. Unfortunately it’s Dawson. He is trying his best but he’s like the Manny Diaz of offense.

 

[drewm3i]

One more TD and a FG id be very pleased

I would have been please with 17-0 and eating up the clock. Did not like those risky calls on second and third down when we had them on the ropes.
