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

[StPeteCane]

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if we revert back to bro ball.

They're going to milk the clock and try to make it a two score game in the process. At the very least, make it so we're not playing from behind.

And we can do that. Just execute the basic ****.

Agree just run it down their throats

from my seats, I saw it right away and if he picks it off, he only has Chambliss to worry about. ******* big time fail! He did the hard part reading the play.

bigtime players make big plays in bigtime games.

It’s an absolutely feel good for Ole Miss. they’ve been dominated. We need 7 to start out the quarter. A methodical 7 points preferred that takes 5-6 minutes off the clock.

id prefer it to burn 8-10 off the clock. If Lacy doesn’t come back that makes them very 1 dimensional.

Where is our pass rush? What’s the story on Lofton?

 

[TaylorWalls]

@TaylorWalls said they played it perfect !

More hyperbole since you can’t actually back up your own goofy points.

 

[hurricaneman]

The good news is Miami has been generally better in the 2nd half, especially on offense.

 

[flips]

Is Moten completely out?

No he came back and played

 

[BeastMode]

The one we scored on? Really?

No allowing ole miss the ball back to get 3 points. Miami fumbled a lot of opportunities in that half. Should be up 10+. Hopefully they block in and it doesn’t cost them the game.

 

[PSU Cane]

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.

I've had that problem too. That's why you have to keep your beer/beverage in one hand and your girl's *** in the other.....keep them occupied!

 

[scrantoncane]

Giving up only 13 to that offense is a huge win

If the time of possession is 23:00 to 7:00, and you’re only up 4 points when there is no turnovers, it’s hard to call that a win

 

[YankeesCane]

Dawson needs to pound pound and play action even if short safe passes

Our D needs to blitz the LBs

Ole Miss cannot get the ball with any chance to get a lead

 

[bacane]

The issue was that shouldn't have been a pass play in the first place. The even bigger issue is Dawson/Mario go into a shell and play for a punt any time we get behind the sticks.

If just handoff people ***** about that as well.

 

[canes1996]

They are run blitzing on first down now. Gotta switch things up a little.

 

[HurricanesR1]

Have the refs been out of the way? **** naaaww!! They been ******* us!! Up and down the field!

We got away with one when Moten shoved Chambliss out of bounds

 

[PIPO]

Run it down their ******* throat the entire second half and we win going away

Like the SMU game, we aren’t running the ball well and IMO, it’s because we are too bunched up.

Dawson needs to spread them out more. Let the O-line win up front. He keeps bringing in extra defenders with these bunch sets. We sr whack to SMU game ****.

 

[jupo2001]

1. Gotta regroup. The Canes were being overly aggressive defensively when getting after Chambliss to keep a drive alive. Got away with one from Moten on Chambliss.

2. Probably shoulda ran the ball on first down when we got the ball back since we would’ve gotten it first in the 2nd half. 2nd and 18 is rough to be off schedule with.

3. This is where not having Lyle hurts us, because the big plays in the running game are there. 4 and 6 are good backs, but not break away. Keep plugging away.

 

[TaylorWalls]

We let them drive right down the field..just saying.

Did they have a 2nd and 18 play on that drive?

I don’t hate the bro ball if it ends in TDs. And by the end the body blows will win.

Quick throws and their OL has been good

 

[Sabetta]

No pressure on him...as he should

He's actually better under pressure this year than in a clean pocket. Credit were credit is due.
