Notre Dame a 3.5 point favorite (All Miami-ND, Mali News)

Worst case scenario... IF Mali doesn't play on Saturday, what do you expect to see from the offense?

I think we will obviously lean heavy on the ground game with a nice rotation of our running backs.
But who steps up at WR? Who lines up where Toney would be lining up? Wingo returning kicks / punts?

Do we throw many deep balls or do we see more short passes?

I could see us using more pony sets and motioning one of the backs to become the 3rd WR. Could be the game Pringle shows out. They have injuries at LBer and getting him the ball in space in the passing game would be nice.
 
ND ***** anyway. We can win without Mali. I just knew this was going to be Mali’s heisman game/moment. That’s what hurts the most
 
There are positives to this news leaking before the game. IF we lose to ND with our best player out or knowingly hurt, that is absolutely something that the committee will consider down the line, especially if the game is close.

I'd argue that unless he is feeling 80% or better, he shouldn't play, but I'd still love to see him tear ND a new one.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how journalism works, it’s his job to report this. And of course he’s not at the practice so he’s reporting what he heard from a sources that’s like literally how this works.

It's not his job to report "I had a tip before Pete Thamel but Miami didn't call me back and I'm not mad, but I'm really really mad".

You and and Jeffy and Barry Jacksoff are birds of a feather.

Pusillanimous.

No, I don't "trust him here". He wasn't even there. He is citing ANOTHER PERSON who was at the practice, and a "friend of a coach".

It's just very sad to see the decline in standards of sports reporting. We have no proof of how Barry Jacksoff got his information (he calls it "my tip", which seems to suggest AGAIN that he was not actually present, and was given information by someone else) and we have no proof of how long poor poor Barry Jacksoff sat on his tip before he was scooped.

But, hey, he talked to someone who was "at practice" and a "friend of a coach". Is this reporting? Do I "trust him here"?

No. No, I do not. I'm not going to give Barry Jacksoff extra credibility because of who employs him.

I'm not going into details here, but I had the information before Barry Jacksoff's mean tweets. Did I rush over to CIS to post rumors, just to bolster my "insider cred"? No. Did I insert myself into the story like Barry Jacksoff did? No. His tweet was a defensive move meant to claim knowledge of the situation "before the national guys reported it", because he felt that he should have been "first".

So if you're not first, the next best thing is to be the most accurate, the person who provides the most information. Instead, he reported on what a guy at the practice told him, and what the friend of a coach told him. Who, I'm quite certain, were the two phone calls that Barry Jacksoff made after he read the Pete Thamel tweet.

I concur, I’m just saying Jackson has higher chance of being correct vs Pete Thamel who is a paid propaganda fake journalist. He’ll break stories here and there - sure - but his main function for the Mouse is to spread ESPN Disney Corporate Soviet Style propaganda.

He gets a tip, he asks UM to comment, UM obviously doesn't comment because they want to control the narrative so they leak it to national reporters who won't do the digging. Barry literally said in his tweet that he understood why UM didn't get back to him.

It's okay to say you don't understand how journalism works, no biggie.
