With or without Toney, I’m more worried about the defense

So, naturally, wouldn’t you want the offense to score the most points possible? Wouldn’t the presence of Malachi Toney increase the expectation for points?

Absolutely but I believe our offense and run game can do enough in the event doesn’t Toney play but there is no guarantee that even if did, our defense did enough to slow ND with how they are struggling

We’re somewhere between a tweaked ankle, and the ankle injury being so bad the team stopped practice and he’s out for the year.

Fantastic reporting on this.

News reporting almost as consistent as our hail Mary defense

I listened to the video while it was still up but didn't catch "clean MRI" part... I wonder if D$ knows or not if an MRI was actually done yet. If the injury was today (which has has been established). Usually swelling has to subside to get the most accurate scan. I'm guessing that's what the latest statement from team was about. They are still "evaluating"

I hope they don't need to consider it, but I am once again back to looking up the tight rope surgery stuff on severe ankle sprains (4-5 weeks) :confused:

So you think Mali is out?

Yes, I think Mario underestimated just how popular Mali is. This **** is ALWAYS kept internally during his tenure here. Hoping Im wrong, but it feels like so much smoke came out that Miami just had to put something out.
 
Even without Toney, knowing what ND has out for this game, I would still think we win this game had our defense not done what they did against UNC.

After that though, idk where the optimism for some of you comes from lol

Moore will erase Barkate and we think Upshaw is going to win us a game?

The only chance here is a running game and OL takeover. Especially if Wake without Mali is even the slightest indication of how this offense is going to function.

Mario doesn’t have the time/energy/care to play that game. That’s for clowns like sark

*****Nothing has to be out there. It’s not an ACC game week. He does not want anything out there.

However, Geo’s tweet came before Miamis statement. Could be some truth to his. Idk how reliable he is but he was saying that before things got scrubbed and official statement came out. He might be right. Hes saying not a sprain just seeing if he can play thru it which seems like a micro-fracture

Agreed. This was ONLY put out because we had national media members and local media members bringing up his name. He couldn’t just not say anything. That’s how polarizing Mali is
 
Winning without Mali would be the best thing that could possibly happen ngl. It puts so much pressure on them.

Would completely eliminate ND's playoff hopes. Could not beat the game they've been preparing for for a year. Prime time game day at home. In the cold. WITHOUT Miamis best player and heisman finalist.

Still can't finish the job.

The Irish fanbase would go insane.
 
Mario has no problem with reporters. Mario has a gigantic problem with insiders.

Read that however you want to. But that's the Saban/Belichick school. The moment that there's a leak somewhere, it gets shut down.

Yeah this is my concern. Moore will just follow Coop

There is a difference between this and the Wake situation. At that time momentum was fully on their side. We were up by a lot and went into a shell.

It is a different situation starting the game without Mali vs losing him as momentum flips.

I had shin splints when I played football in 8th grade. That sucked. Until further notice I will choose to believe Toney has shin splints.
