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

Defense needs a huge stop and get another 7 up on the board in the 3rd quarter.. would
Feel amazing to have a 3 score cushion to let them eat

Ok, whatever you did first half, you have to do it again second half. Sat in the far right seat of the couch? Don’t dare think of sitting on the left side. Drinking some bourbon first half? Don’t dare crack a beer now. It’s going to take all of us.

I have two little dogs. Mini dachshund and a mini terrier mix (rat and Jack Russel). The dachshund hates fireworks and thunderstorms. The terrier doesn't give two ***** and is a bit of a re-re anyway.

+rep for saying “re-re” that’s old school

 

[MikeyCanez]

Not an expert, but I think we should draw up another 75-yard Pick 6.

 

[Calinative]

Everyone acts like the 3rd quarter is the critical one, but obviously the 4th quarter is lmao.

Never get why people say that. The 4th is always the most important to win.

Greta half, wish we had 17. Refs okay for most part, the overturning of that first down by Beck was criminal. We’re about to break their will.

They’re going to come out juiced at the half. Need a stop. EXPECT A FIGHT BACK. YOU CANNOT GIVE IN.

DIG DEEP

 

[ShadowSpring]

Got greedy on mesh

Jesus. He's playing great. He didn't like his read. It happens

 

[mr.h]

A couple a bad calls, but overall the refs are letting them play.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Gotta get a stop on this first drive.

 

[SFbayCane]

Toney was wide open.

No, he was not. The DB was right there. Might have been a small window to get the ball in but it would not have been a smart throw. Shoulda thrown it away.

 

[SinCityCane]

Gotta be ready to take this first punch. Expect Day to take a shot right out of the gate.

Wouldn't be shocked if they come out in some type of hurry up/2 min oftense

 

[PIPO]

Brent Key just said it now on ACC network.

Not only must the players remain aggressive but so must the coaches on offense and defense.

Ohio State must feel better about only being down 14 vs 24.

We have left at least 10 points off the board (Fumble from a stupid bro ball bunched up set) and the 3 play sequence after the 2 minute warning.

 

[WndyCityCane]

We dominated the 1st half daaamn idk should be ahead by more

This. It’s an uneasy feeling.
You know they are coming.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

refs f#cked us with Beck run but we ended up turning into a short field due to defense. Dawson can’t consistently dial up good plays.

Terrible on the last drive. Yardage = time = points. Tries the deep shot on 1st down. Dumb call on the jet sweep then goes back to the deep shot. Take the yards keep the clock running make them use another TO. If nothing else set yourself up for a FG chance

 

[flips]

5 total drives have gotten to the opponent 30yard line (fudging by a yard here) and only 7 points scored. Elite defense being played at the cotton bowl tonight

defense needs to score again as I dont have faith in Dawson

 

[786Cane]

Look who it is trying to chase him down...

He had two 5 Stars from Miami chasing him to the endzone!

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Leaving points out there is making me nervous.

That's the only thing I'm worried about. Smith is a ******* phenom.

But, our D holds. No Diddy. And thats what I told her.

 

[BLIMPTOWN]

Feels like the ND game, we whooping they're ***, but a couple of broken plays and they can get right back into it.

 

[YLCANE]

I think we can get it going.

We will
That D is wearing down
We will hit some big runs in second half
