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

[TaylorWalls]

Since everyone is concerned about what the score “should” be, does Ohio State get to take back their bad plays? They think they “should” be winning 10-7.

 

[SFbayCane]

The media is tuning up their "Ohio State is Rusty" narrative.

That will set the table for the calls the buckeyes will get on the opening drive of the second half.

 

[P-Tizzle]

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

 

[NC_Canes_11]

14 points won’t be enough.

Do we open it up?

As soon as Patricia starts pressing, go over the top.

 

[Stingarov]

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.

**** no not alarmed. That was strategic. Day had to call a TO soon so keeping them out one more play let 3 & 4 disrupt the final 2 plays.

No PI?!?!?!?!

That series is on Beck. He had Toney for 5-6 yards and then you have a 2nd and mid.

Instead he takes a sack and then predictable call.

Bad all around after the 2 mins.

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

 

[Firesite]

Look at the ***** Joey Galloway.

Teams down by 14 or more in a cfp game are 1-20. Let’s make that 1-21.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Pitched a shutout through the first half.

14-0 at the half is as good as we could have hoped for coming in.

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

 

[Crimpy]

Look at Joey Galloway's lemon-sucking face.

 

[Distructobot3000]

Joey Big Mad, lol

 

[bacane]

ESPN said Curry was the best DE in CFB

Also said LB Stiles hadn’t missed tackle all season. Fletcher trucked is ***

 

[PIPO]

Ohio State is gonna come out swinging!

Must stop them to no points in the first drive. Run the ball and wear them down.

Carson has to make the small plays.

 

[U_Canes]

Nice to be up 14-0. Have had chances to put this game away and have blew it tho

 

[bdcane4eva]

I expect the refs to get very involved in half two...this will get interesting going forward

 

[SFbayCane]

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.

 

[RomeoJunior]

Hmmmm. This is gonna be a chess match.

OSU got some confidence with that last drive w/how to move the drive. I wonder how much may be adjusted @ halftime w/ their offense and our defense.

Some may say ignore that last drive and if it aint broke, dont try to fix it. Others may say you wanna keep changing things up and keeping them off-balance.

Got a few minutes left to find out!

 

[TemplarCane]

Missed two opportunities with the Fletcher fumble and the drive right before the end of the half. Should’ve at least gotten two field goals out of that.

Can’t miss those opportunities in the second half.

It’ll be hard to hold Ohio State down all game like this.

 

[johnnytsunami01]

This is not even close to over, we need to put the shoe on their neck

 

[flips]

On 1st and 10 from the 2, they ran up the middle with a TE and H-back in the field. Gain of 3. Miami calls timeout, and Day changes personnel. Sayin stepped up in the pocket and wanted to down the field but Miami had everything covered so Sayin threw out to the flat.

It’s all for nought, but Day was looking to run out the clock until Mario took the timeout.

100. We were chasing the points we just gave away and it nearly cost us. How much time would we have had left after the punt had they kept running? :20-30 with no TOs?
