Nobody feels sorry for us

Everyone needs to put their big boy pants on and that’s not just players , that goes for fans too. Everyone in America is dealing with injuries but most fans don’t pay attention to other programs to notice. Florida has been without their best wr most of the year. Ohio State lost their qb . Texas injury list has enough NIL cash on it to buy new BBL’s and ***** for the entire Kardashian and Jenner families, Caitlyn included. Then there’s the team we’re playing who has 4-5 guys possibly out this week and some for season.

There’s no replacing Mali but in a weird way maybe this takes pressure off the team and galvanizes guys. I’ve seen things like this workout in the short term. Us against the world type motivation.

The defense has already been getting trashed by fans and media (rightfully so). On top of that most had us already losing this game. Now we really have no shot and we lost our entire team with Toney injury. If this culture and team is what we think it is they should be chopping at the bit to step up and prove folks wrong. It’s called house money.

It’s game nine so guys like Spafford and Wingo are no longer Freshmen . It’s your time and this is why you come to a program like Miami.

Yes ,odds are stacked against the team but as I said I’ve seen weird things happen to a team facing adversity. On top of that nobody gives a **** or feels pity for Miami. Just like we didn’t for FSU when they lost Jordan Travis. Injuries are part of the game. Now shoot to survive until Mali comes back.

I remember in 2017, after a crushing blow cheap tackle to the knee diving for a touchdown, Carson Wentz was done and ppl thought the Eagles, a pro football team wasn't gonna do **** in the playoffs.

It can be done, but great things is.... We WILL make the CFP. This will build character.
 
You could still make the case that Barkate, Upshaw, Jacobs along with the freshman are as good as ND got. Lofton has looked great I think it opens up room for guys like Briggs and Mueller to have some opportunities in bigger sets as they’ve really flashed lately.

And Mensah is still a Heisman QB.

No excuses for our offense

Still better than ND receivers
 
Too much talkin on the net....Get on the field and do something!

I believe this front 7 suffers from big game syndrome. What this means is they simply take plays and games off. I believe they need a little extra motivation to meet their potentials. This is the game where they show what it means to be a defensive lineman on Miami. I believe they take over the game. They have done it before. Win the game for us boys, you are more than capable.











 
I think our outside receivers are key against their corners. They like to take chances and jump routes (Moore getting cooked by Daniels last year on the TD comes to mind). They need to use someone like Jacobs to keep them honest and at least try a couple deep shots in my opinion.

Wentz was the runaway MVP that year . He had something like 30 TD and 2 int. Then big **** Nick had a playoffs for the ages. I hate losing Toney but we still have an elite qb.

Real talk tho, since this is the rah rah thread, for the short term, if this *HAS* to happen, it’s way better for it to happen midweek than during the game. Dawson has time to get in his bag. You can change the gameplan. You can clearly define roles and have kids know what to expect. It’s much, much easier to manage than this happening in the 1st quarter. Kind of what we saw in the Wake game.

2nd thing, yes Mali is unreal and this crushes us, but we’ve designed the entire offense around him. It’s not because everyone else sucks, it’s because he’s that good. So you, again with this being midweek, have an opportunity to expand the offense some and give other kids more work. We still have a lot of really, really good football players on offense. One of them being the best QB in the country. As Cribby said, ND is decimated on defense. 5 starters coming out of camp are out. Moore hasn’t played much recently. Get in their ***, bro. We got plenty of dudes to do it. Our freshmen have all been with the team for almost 11 months now. They’re not freshmen.

Longer term, we’re making the ACCCG. Which puts us 60 minutes from the playoffs. That game is in 31 days. There’s a chance Mali is back for that game. And if he’s not, we have a FULL MONTH to practice with who’s here and get better. No, we can’t win a natty without Mali. But we can beat Notre Dame. I’m **** sure of it. And the playoffs start in 6.5 weeks. There’s a shot Mali is back and good to go by then.

This sucks, but it’s not an ACL, and as much as I love Mali, it’s not our QB. Our leader is still here. He’s still got horses to feed. Go smash these dudes in the mouth this weekend, and more importantly go win the ACC and let’s get our dude back when the games matter. I’ll be there on Saturday and I’m walking into that ***** expecting to walk out with scalps. **** all the rest.
 
All I know is this team **** the bed when Toney's injury occurred against Wake Forest. Who can blame any fan for thinking disaster now that he's out a while? I remember the gameday thread and the entire board was melting at how bad the offense was playing.

Maybe the team will pull together and get it done. I'm just saying the only time we saw this team try to operate without him in 2026, it was ugly as ****.
 
Maybe maybe by not relying on Toney it makes the offense better by having more options to spread it around

But we still need to run well regardless
