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

[Kempo Cane]

Im expecting to see the refs hand the buckeyes some points on the opening drive. It'll be similar to the notre dame game. Refs let 'em play and Miami starts pulling away, then the refs step in.

You may be right, so sit this one out

 

[bacane]

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

And didn’t gain a step on him.

It’s not so much what they found. It’s cause they went hurry up. It’s a thing that I fear that they would do to start the game. The problem is hurry up also causes mistakes for the offense so that’s why teams don’t run at 100%.

But they’re gonna have no choice, but to run it more the second half, especially if we score any more points

This.

 

[PIPO]

The way it’s being played we could probably dump it off to fletch every down and win

Which is why I want more Pringle and Brown.

Dump the ball off to them. Run with them. Make it a 3 headed monster and keep them fresh and with a change in pace.

If OSU couldn't scheme it up in 25 days, idk if they can at halftime.

Our teams got to come out hot. Hetherman has to keep mixing in some of that cover 2 as well.

 

[CityboyCanes4life82]

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.

To be fair, OSU has a great defense. So it is not easy getting positive plays. In games like this, we must be comfortable winning some downs while losing others. The key is not to give up short fields or make mistakes.

Could have thrown War screen to CJ and licked up 7-8 yards and kicked fg
They were giving it up

Really my only gripe in the first half

I mean we could nitpick but that was the move

I hate to ***** about taking an aggressive shot but also when has Marion gone one on one like that? CJ or Moore maybe

 

[IamaCane4Life]

Which conference is officiating the game?

 

[Calinative]

Ohio St gonna come out with a bunch of wr screens imo.

That's how you beat our pass rush

 

[bacane]

Anyone thinks OSU comes out trying to establish the run? Or have they given up on it?

Got to run it to take heat off Sayin

 

[Rocketcitycane06]

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

That's what I'm hoping for. Dawson doesn't need to get cute.

 

[U got This]

Stay hungry fellas. Beck is playing safe and dont want to make mistakes, but would love for him to test OSU secondary out and play a lil more loose .

If we get a three n out on defense, we need to setup the play action pass on offense on these dudes, Slant and go. Take the top off.

I think we can run on them. Need to somehow score 1 more time and then run out the clock.

I recognize the ref but can’t remember where he’s from.

 

[Dhancock12]

My question and fear is how will Dawson and Beck respond to Patricia’s adjustments. I’m expecting some more man coverage to take away some of those easier throw Beck had. Both Dawson and Beck were balling till the end of half. I hope they can reset and produce 10-17 more points for us.

 

[P-Tizzle]

So my thoughts

OC- B+
OL-A-
QB-B+
RB-C
WR-B-
TE-NA

DC and D- A++++
Punter-A-

Overall B+

We’re up 14-0 at the half and it’s only a B+? Tough grader

 

[Suhrthing]

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

Front runner chasing a ghost. F him.

 

[ristwasdown]

Ohio St gonna come out with a bunch of wr screens imo.

That's how you beat our pass rush

Saw how that worked for them in the first half. The answer for them is the seams and the flats while running mesh.
