Notre Dame game thoughts

[NonCents]

Don't ND fans know that this game is sold out. We'll probably win by 10 tho, b/c ND likes to play that prevent defense

LOL @ the prevent defense comment

 

[Stony157]

Hey guys, i have been trying to start a thread, but it hasn't been released yet, so i'll go ahead and comment in here. ND fan (obviously), just looking to talk a little football, not here to troll, argue, etc. Just get too annoyed with ND boards, but love talking some football. I do this for all of ND's bigger games. Ill leave if everyone wants, but would like to stay and get some facts on Miami and share what i know (or think i know) about ND. ill give honest opinions of good and bad of ND and do my best to answer any questions you have. Let me know what you think.

Crazy pumped for this game, huge for both teams. Obviously Miami has more to play for after ND regardless, but with the playoffs as a goal, both need to win to help secure that (although Miami could lose and still possibly make it).

So basically, before i waste a bunch of time typing up stuff, am i welcomed?

fvck you

There it is....

I have a feeling we’ll be geared up to stop the running game and spy the qb, our secondary has been playing lights out. Qb gonna take a lot of hits. I’m sure UM alum will be around all week and the day of the game talking to our guys. No one picking us, home underdogs, qb dominating us.
I’m sure we’re happy having game day. More recruiting exposure for UM, positive press.

The thing that this encouraging for me is that everyone has had the idea of loading up the box to stop the run, but so far no one has really been able to, other than Georgia. However, i think the speed of your DB's will be something new to face. I think we are a better team then what faced Georgia though. Wimbush is coming along nicely. He really can throw much better then what the stats show, he just isn't getting any help from his receivers. they have the size and speed, but aren't very physical and have a case of the drops this season...

Well thats what happens when you have the best OG in the draft in Quentin Nelson and another potential 1st round pick OT in McGlinchey leading the run game.

But this will definitely be the best DL you guys have played against, and not just our starters. It is our best and deepest position on the team.
We likely won't hold you to <100 yards rushing because with they style of aggressive defense we play, we will definitely give up some 10+ yard runs. But we will very likely get a bunch of TFLs on you guys. Should be a good game. You guys are playing into our strength though. We're straight up going to press man cover your wrs with a single high safety and pressure the **** out of your OL/QB/RB ALL game.

So this will be like the third or fourth time nd is being threatened with the best dL comment. And I’m not saying your wrong, but what makes miami different from Georgia, Michigan State, nc stats, Boston college who all stated that they had first round lineman? Bc the only one that showed nd up was Georgia. Is it just depth to keep talent fresh? Or is it talent?

Nelson is freakishly good, mcglinchy is good run, but struggles with speed on pass. Now the right side is ok at run but pretty solid with pass

Look up our defensive line coach's track record at Missouri. He has better talent now than he ever had there

Both...and tell Deon RJ said He's gonna ******* em' up.

 

[U Got It]

Something to keep in mind.If when the ND fans have their Ireland flags waving, it will look like Miami fans cause of the green white orange flag of Ireland being same colors as Miami.

 

[KrazyCane]

I'm not impressed with anyone on their offense. Wimbush is their only real threat (use that word very lightly) as a runner, but our defense will break him by the 4th quarter.

Their defense is another overrated joke like VT.

Miami 28 / ND 13

 

[Pearson704]

No school is hated more than UM.

I dont know, ND is pretty hated. haha. Terrible that we have to argue that.

Your school is a media darling and it's not even close.

 

[U Got It]

No school is hated more than UM.

I think thats what makes Miami stronger at winning & believing is the negative media.

 

[Southcane]

Obviously wimbush came back in and played. The rb had exams and was tired and not feeling well from a tough week. Lol

Wimbush has been banged up on and off all year unfortunately, still needs to learn to take a hit like a QB

I watch football 12-12 every Saturday. Nobody & I mean nobody hits the QB like Miami. I think this is the biggest advantage we have. I think Wimbush is in for the shock of his lifetime. Plus his dumb comments don’t help when your looking across at 10 NFL players with 4-5 coming off the bench but I guess the kid has stones.

That or dumb as F***

 

[1mg of Epi]

Where you guys excited to have gameday, or do you see it as an unneeded distraction?

ESPN can eat a bag of ****s. But yea kinda cool to be relevant again.

By the way, before i possibly get booted, who are you hoping for a guest picker? personally, gotta be the rock...

NCST has a good Senior DL for sure. But really all they are is one absolute stud in Chubb. But other than Chubb, they don't come close to being as talented.

UGA is a 34 team, so its tough to say their DL is good when they only have 3 of them and only Trenton Thompson is any good...he will likely be a top 3 round pick at DT. Their 34 OLBs are Lorenzo Carter who can rush the passer well and Roquan Smith who is one of my favorite LBs and will also be a top 3 round pick. After those 3 they really don't got ****. They definitely don't have any depth, and even their 3 best DL they have (I'll include their olbs just for sake of discussion) aren't even as good as our starters. In fact, I'd take some of our backups over their starters.

Even saying BC in comparison to Miami's DL is a joke, and so is Michigan St.

Joe Jackson our starting WDE will be a 1st round pick, and he's our best pass rusher. His backup for this game since our other guy is going to be out is Jon Garvin is an athletic freak and 100% has the potential to be a 1st rounder. Just last game he beat VTechs LT for a strip sack and recovered it.

RJ McIntosh has possibly been the best player on our team this year. He's an absolute beast. He's a top 3 round DT for sure, and better than Trenton Thompson. Kendrick Norton is a NT who's WAY better than UGA's NT, and he's a stud too. If Rj McIntosh is a 2nd round pick, he'll probably be a 3rd. He's maybe just below Vita Vea as far as NT's are concerned.

At SDE we have Chad Thomas. He won't be an early pick, though he will get drafted. And he is a 5 star recruit. He's been a beast in Manny Diaz's defense and last year was our best DLineman. His backup isn't even really a backup since he is almost always on the field - Trent Harris. This dude isn't as athletically talented as our other DL, but he's just as good. He's the guy that just gets **** done. When theres definite passing down, we usually take Norton off, drop Chad down, and Harris is at DE getting pressure.

Plus we have the best College DL coach in the country.

The bolded is huge for Saturday. Our ends, if they can speed rush your tackles, will be giving Wimbush nightmares. He's got a long windup on most of his passes,Thomas, Jackson, and Garvin could have a lot of fun Saturday night.

Another thing I noticed while watching some of your game film is Adams likes to let things develop in front of him and be patient. That's not going to be very easy Saturday, our defense is quick to react and fast off the ball. Add in some pressure on blitzes and Adams could be in for a long day.

Syracuse having to call timeouts to let the QB take a break from out D was our quintessential performance in that regard. I think Wimbush will have 1 or 2 fumbles as a result of our D throwing him into the ground.

 

[jhtheking]

Last week all I did was harp on stats. Not this week. The team showed me they have another gear. If Our team plays with the same intensity we played vs VT (minus the turnovers). Sit back, relax, and watch a classic. Miami 23-20.

That's gonna be tough.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Is it just depth to keep talent fresh? Or is it talent?

Both...and tell Deon RJ said He's gonna ******* em' up.

We could very possibly have 4 players from the 2 deep DL drafted in the first 5 rounds, and we likely will not notice any significant drop off in talent next year.

 

[U Got It]

You know there is gotta be some defense moves that Manny D. has got that will be brought out in this game,
that maybe has been saved for games like this weekend, to leash out the best that hasn't been played yet.

 

[TreOFive]

My only thought: beat these entitles sons of bytches!!! Fug them........go canes!

 

[NDIrish15]

You may be the first Irish fan that has gotten this much respect on a Miami board without the customary **** you so congrats.

As for the game we are coming out hungry and with an old canes attitude which could be scary. Fans will be an issue as we have been waiting for this type of game since 2002 season.

If we play as I think we can play and you guys still win big ups to you but I don’t think it is happening.

appreciate it man. I was surprised at the number of ND people on this board. I do this all the time to get away from ND fans, and at most ill run into one other fan. I think its pointless to come in here and argue. I just try to throw out facts and discuss the matchup. Hopefully i don't rub anyone the wrong way. Just enjoy college football.

You guys are coming off a great win, I would very much doubt there is any let down from that because in all likely hood if you beat ND, you guys are going to the ACC champ undefeated and fighting for a #2 ranking. But, kids being kids (haha) you think there is any chance emotionally this team comes out a little flat?

I gotta imagine that place will be one of the loudest stadiums all season. Although, i was surprised to see you guys only seat 65,000. Honestly, does it play louder than that?

If both teams are on their game, this could be an epic match up. Wimbush is much more dangerous throwing than his stats let on, but that defense is suspect. what has impressed me with this ND team is their physicality (minus the wake forest game) I have never seen a more physical notre dame team. They are not the most skillful defense, but they beat you with fundamentals. When they hit you, they tackle you, not bounce off like previous years.

The stadium has a partial roof that acoustically traps and reflects the noise onto the football field. 65k feels more like 85k at Hard Rock. No worry though, as the Miami/ND game is already sold out. Keep in mind that most Miami fans are not your Big 10 wine and cheese crowd. It will be loud.

i see, the roof helps. Would be surprised if it wasn't sold out. ND fans are pretty much a joke when it comes to games. They sold out for the georgia game, giving up an additional 10,000 tickets or so. They are loud for a drive, 2 at most. You get yelled at for standing up in a lot of sections. So hats off if the crowd stays in it for the whole game.
