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

[The U is back to work]

For anyone at the game what’s the breakdown Canes to OSU fans

 

[Hstokes1447]

That last drive the Ohio State OL was holding like crazy. Refs are letting them get away with it because we still get pressure, but it's BS!!!

That offensive line cannot block this Miami defensive line. They have no choice but to hold, hopefully the refs actually calls a few of those holding penalties

 

[Distructobot3000]

I’m calling a turnover on OSU’s first drive after the half, then a quick strike td on the very next play

 

[Hold My Beer]

Alright, now we get 20 minutes of Joey Galloways ***** ***.

He and Desmond likely are butt buddies

 

[TheUInsider]

They got something going on both sides of the ball late. We need to nip that in the bud and bit carry over.

Correct....they got a rythmn on offense and defense there....we gotta neutralize that early 3rd qtr

 

[KingB02]

Beck doing well but should’ve just taken the check down on the long pass or put it in play

 

[Kjdcanefan]

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

If anyone is comfortable right now with a 14 point lead, then they got some soul searching to do. The offense has to be able to score on OSUs side of the field. A punt and a fumble dont help.
Defense needs to be ready to adjust to whatever adjustments Day makes at halftime. OSU was attacking right where the blitzers were coming from that last drive and Sayin was firing.

We have to stop getting cute in the red area. We also need a little more creativity on run plays.

I'd also like to see a little more play action out of the pistol 2nd half their DBs are coming down hard to erase.

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

I yelled and scared the **** out of my little dog. She is now hiding in her kennel.

I did give her a treat and apologized, but I guess I am not forgiven yet.

Edit: It doesn't help she is on edge from the fireworks too....

 

[MikeyCanez]

They are going to adjust and stop giving our receivers so much cushion in the second half. We have to stay aggressive.

 

[Ghandi]

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.

He’s been doing it so far this game. Let’s see how they manage the 3rd quarter *** whooping they’re going to take in the front 7.

They don’t want anymore part of Fletcher, Mauigoa, and Cooper.

 

[WesternMDCane]

Anyone else just shaking because of nerves?

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

Whole body is jittery

 

[skyman]

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.

That's every game

 

[U got This]

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

My German shepherd got in on the action and was jumping on me when I was running around the house

 

[BALLHAWKU]

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.

Don’t understand the lateral bs when you’re in field goal range and a chance to kill the clock

 

[Canestomp]

He and Desmond likely are butt buddies

Des letting Joey into his Heisman house.

 

[Cane in Los Angeles]

Need that Bryce Fitzgerald pick.

 

[dade305cane]

What a ******* physical clinic we put on this half! Gotta bring it second half!

 

[P-Tizzle]

OSU came into the game 2nd in the country in 3rd down % (54%). Tonight: 1-6

 

[jsy]

Back to back 1st half shut outs
Against big time offenses
This defense is playing as an elite unit right now
