Miami vs Ole Miss Playoff Semifinal 1/8/26 Game Thread

Opening drive will define this game

Saban just said Canes "mismanaged" their last series!

He's right, but that was an uncharacteristic bust by the OL.

 

[TrumpyCane]

23 mins time of possession but only up 4. Man.

7 of their points came from one run from a TB who’s now out for the game

Their QB has been throwing some ducks

We should really be up 10+

We’ve dominated them

Trumpycane thinks we score coming out of half and pull away

I guess I can’t complain about a lead in the national semifinal, but it’s apparent we are the better team.

Ole Miss has NO SHOT against IU or Oregon.

 

[bacane]

We don’t look rested. We can’t get pressure without blitzing.

Only way of getting pressure cause ball is out so quick.

 

[PSU Cane]

Running for less than 3 yards a carry isn’t ideal for ur 2nd half outlook when we need to lean on it. Better figure that **** out

If you don't call Brown's run back, it's higher....and OleMiss started shooting gaps on run downs to stop the run, so Dawson has to counter that to stop those backers. Let's see if he does. The run game got a little too predictable inside.

Those 2-3 yard runs should turn into 4-5 yards in 2nd half as guys get winded. Should....didn't say would. You still have to keep those backers honest with throws across the middle and flanks.

I 10000% have multiple ulcers

We are in the CFP semifinals and clearly the better team. Clean it up the second half and get us home for the natty!

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Saban is right about not managing the game correctly on that second to last drive of the half for UM’s offense.

The one we scored on? Really?

 

[ZeroBeachCane3]

Their defense is about to start breaking. They have 0 depth

Time to wear them down

@TaylorWalls said they played it perfect !

Saban is right about not managing the game correctly on that second to last drive of the half for UM’s offense.

Maybe but they tried to get aggressive on 1st down, which I like, and they took a sack. It's over at that point. Just a bad play by the o-line

 

[flips]

It was 100% the right call to try to get points before the half. Quit *****ing and playing the result. You try to end the game with a score there and after half. We only gave up 3 points, so if we score a TD we are up 2 scores just as would have been had we went to half and scored coming out of the half.

 

[Hawk]

Saban is right. Our mistakes are keeping OM in the game.

 

[GonzoCane]

Saban spot on.U dominating game, penalties keeping pizz in the game, and one run. This game comes down to an ol pizz kick, i’ll lose it. We need a td out of thegate

 

[MiamiVice7]

Taking a step back…

Crazy we’re leading at halftime of the game to go to the national championship. And we should be up by more. PLEASE let this go our way lol we’re better than them.

Just play clean ball!

 

[MiamiCanesFan77]

Can’t give Chambliss a chance to put on the cape like he did in the second half vs Georgia.

Getting a TD on this first drive of the second half… would be nice.

 

[deezydinh]

We’re playing extremely dumb. Rat poison got to the kids. Gotta lock in here

 

[HurricanesR1]

I’ve been biting my fingernails the entire first half. I won’t have any left by the time the game is finished.

I don’t like Ole Miss hanging around like this.

 

[aelmiami]

Even the gameday crew knows we’re beating ourselves right now and it shouldn’t even be a game

One of two things is gonna happen. We clean up and roll out anxiety free. We keep toying with our food and this thing is gonna flip in a bad way.
