Oh you don’t have to tell me of all people you know that I know this ny lol. You know I have told you this before the season and even during the season. I said this is the first game I saw where the refs were against UM. I had to explain to my future son in law that they hate Miami but I ain’t ever see some sh like this. He said the refs fked us

people arent blind. they purposely tried to stop our momentum. The Parrish td phantom hold, the late hit when we stopped them on 3rd down then the next play they go for 35 yards because they missed a holding call. bad officiating goes in both directions, this is bias officiating and we should just leave ACC because it happens every game.

I knew it was coming 🤣. It's important to note those same critics have been calling everyone mopes and doing victory dances over beating Temple and BCU.

Let’s be honest, coming into this game we beat one team with a pulse. The other 3 wins were against tomato cans.

its about talent. we dont have the talent developed yet to steamroll teams in spite of the refs helping them.

its crazy on social media how people who arent miami fans are saying how bad and bias the refs were.
people legit saying " im not a Miami fan but" "I dont like miami but".

We don’t have the talent to beat GTech?

Didn’t we beat them last year with a less talented team?

I never complain about the refs but this was so bad. It’s almost unbelievable but nothing stopping this train it will get going and we can lose a few it happens in every rebuild. Just get the roster right recruit more elites and depth with elites and we will be ok. If we don’t stack then yea we will have some trouble. Defense played well seems like the moment was too big they thought no way GT would drive it and they did. Blown coverage is nerves or something man in that situation KK does that he did it last year he blows it sometimes pause.

The taunting on Flagg was pretty bad too. I was honestly surprised when they called his number.

I hope the first thing Mario did was go in the locker room and apologize to the team and took all the blame. He had kids on the sideline crying, blaming themselves and questioning the staff.

I’ve been hard on TVD but back off since the aTm game. This has been the most pressure/hit TVD had face all year and the pocket was still clean 90% of the time. But he reverted back to 2022 TVD tonight and played like sh*t. I judge QB by when things are not perfect and they still make the right play. TVD doesn’t do that but every one has a bad night. I hope he rebounds

The last drive will take away a great game the defense played but there is still issues and mainly on the secondary. The defensive staff need figure out how to contain scrambling QB. King made most of plays with his legs and this has be consistent issue every game.

As the game went on I started to have that dreadful feeling that we were going to lose this game. It was playing out as a game where we find a way to lose and as I let my guard down. We found a way to lose.

At the end of the day. Mario lost this game.. point blank

Sorry for the essay… Great recap my brother

It also highlights the dire need for speed in the Secondary.

It’s something we for whatever reason aren’t or haven’t been targeting in terms of recruiting both HS & the Portal.

Idk why, but we seem to not place too high a premium on Speed for our DB recruiting & it will continue to be a hindrance for the Defense until it gets fixed.
 
can’t believe I bought back in to Mario like this fool didn’t just lead us to worst season in the past 40+ years and now this.
Sobered up and I’m still fuming, feels like some bad nightmare

There's nothing else to blame - the refs, Tyler Van Dud, whatever you want - none of that matters, because the team overcame all of it. ALL OF IT. After 59 minutes and 22 seconds, this team had the lead, the ball, and an opponent with no way to stop the clock. The win was in our hands, there was only one thing left to do, and we chose not to do it. Does Mario suck at math? Did he want Don to get a nice number? Does he think the victory formation is somehow less manly? I don't know and I don't care. This is embarrassing, and the clip will be played every time we go up against GT in the future like a lunkhead version of Hail Flutie. Some coaches need a get back coach to restrain them by their belt, Mario needs one to keep him from making dumbass decisions.

Offense:

Tyler Van Dyke - 24/36 288yds 1TD & 3INT’s

Don Chaney - 23car 103yds

Xavier Restrepo - 12rec 123yds

Colbie Young - 4rec 56yds

Jacolby George - 2rec 45yds

Riley Williams - 1rec 22yds & 1TD


Offense gained 454 total yards (288 passing & 166 rushing) off 82 plays at 5.5 yards per play, getting 23 1st downs, going 8/16 on 3rd downs, with 35:18 in time of possession.

First half was a defensive stalemate. GTech playing with house money came out with nothing to lose & played inspired. They sold out to stop the pass & played with a chip on their shoulder coming off an embarrassing loss last weak. They were giving it everything they had & we were mostly on cruise control in the first half...

Really bad decisions by TVD on the INT by the Jacksonville kid LaMiles Brooks. (He had a good game, played very well in coverage against us). Then again, Amhari Harvey the Tallahassee kid made a great play on the ball to get the 2nd pick for GTech’s Defense. Their Secondary did a good job with our WR’s for most of the game, with the exception of Restrepo in the Slot.

TVD ‘s biggest flaw in his game is undisciplined eyes, he tends to stare down his WR’s & will lock in one target early in the route & will let it rip even when the throw isn’t always there. Most of time it works, but sometimes, we get games like tonight...

Nice play call on the 47yd post route by Restrepo at the end of the 3rd quarter, unfortunately the momentum from that play was negated by another bad decision by TVD throwing his 3rd pick of the game. Again, he didn’t see the CB & made a bad throw.

Very good play call by Dawson to dial up the 57yd Deep shot to Colbie Young.

We had a TE sighting, Riley Williams with a nice run after the catch to score the first TD of the game. Nice to see a TE do something other than Block.



Don Chaney played the best game of his career, he ran hard & was the most consistent in finding running lanes & getting positive net gain yardage, props to him.

But overall the DC change worked for GTech, Kevin Sherrer put together a very good game plan against us & slowed down everything we liked to do. Even with the turnovers & mistakes made, we still had the game won, but of course like it always happens against GTech in Miami we figured out a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Congrats to Mario, he’s joined an illustrious group of 3 other previous Miami coaches that had inexplicable gut-wrenching losses to GTech. He’s a true Canes Coach now, it’s a rite of passage...


Defense:

Kam Kinchens - 7tks & 1PD

Francisco Mauigoa - 4tks 1.5TFL’s & 1INT

KJ Cloyd - 4tks & 0.5TFL’s

Branson Deen - 4tks 1.5TFL’s & 0.5 sacks

Wesley Bissainthe - 3tks

Rueben Bain - 3tks 1 sack & 1TFL

Jaden Davis - 3tks

Nyjalik Kelly - 2tks

Jahfari Harvey - 2tks

Daryl Porter Jr - 2tks

Te’Cory Couch - 1tk

Keontra Smith - 1tk

James Williams - 1tk & 1INT

Jared Harrison-Hunte - 1tks & 1TFL


Defense was absolutely stout, holding GTech to just 61yds in the 1st half & 250yds total for the game. Allowing just 4,3 yards per play, keeping them at 5/13 on 3rd down while getting 5TFL’s & forcing 2 turnovers.

Defensive chess match in the 1st half, we played a lot of Double High Safeties on the backend to keep everything in front of us & allow the DL time to get to the QB. The DLine played excellent, Run Defense once again held another team under 100yds rushing; in fact, we haven’t allowed a single 100yd rusher all season long.

Leonard Taylor didn’t rack up a bunch of stats, but his impact was noticeable. He created a ton of interior pressure & was collapsing the pocket all game long. Great job by Kelly, Bain & Deen in flushing King out of the pocket which forced him to make a bad erratic throw getting Mauigoa the INT. Bain, Deen, Taylor, Kelly & Harvey all had great games in disrupting King’s rhythm & keep him off schedule for the most part.

Mauigoa & Cloyd played really well IMO, they were active all over the field assisting in stopping the run game & did a good job dropping back in coverage against the pass.

I’m not allowed to give my honest critique of the CB’s, so we’ll save that for another day...

James Williams with a great read out of the deep 3rd shell in Single-High to get the pick.



Kam Kinchens got cooked really bad & misread the route on the Leary TD, he was supposed to maintain depth in his shell & play over top, for whatever reason he panicked trying to make a play & came in way too steep on a bad angle & got worked. Glad to see him come back from his injury, but that was a bad play & big mistake on his part.

Overall Defensively, we did enough to win, the only thing I think went unaccounted for was King’s running. He was given way too much respect with our LB drops & allowed free reign to run as much as he wanted. Now a lot of his runs were out of necessity due to the pocket being collapsed by our aggressive DLine, but some of his other designed runs were easy pick ups for him because we simply weren’t playing to contain him & I’m not sure why that adjustment wasn’t made. It was the only aspect of their Offense that was really working.

Now to how this thing was lost...

One of the most boneheaded decisions made by a Miami Coach since the Onside kick against UVA in 2018. GTech has no timeouts & the game is over, all we had to do is kneel it, but of course the most Miami thing ever happens; Yes I believe we got screwed by the refs on a bad call where the runner is clearly down, but then we go full prevent Defense & in 3 plays give up a Deep ball TD. The decision to run it was made because they were trying to get Chaney over a 100yds & congratulations, because they did.



However, we should’ve never been put in that position, there was really no other choice to be made other than to take a knee & get the win, but this is something that has happened before to our patron Saint HC



Really tough loss, but this falls squarely on the HC’s shoulders. What matters more than anything will be how we respond to this moment; there should be no pointing fingers & NO EXCUSES made, just be accountable & FIX IT.

@ball915 called it, this was the classic Canes trap game, 17.5 point favorite, coming off a bye week debuting new Miami Nights jersey’s against a bad GTech team that had to change their DC for getting embarrassed by Bowling Green the week before & we figured out a way to lose...

I’ve been saying it a lot & I’ll repeat it again, @ UNC is going to be the toughest game we play this year & now coming off a crushing loss like this just intensifies the circumstances surrounding the game even more. We’re going to go up against the best QB we’ll play all year with an impactful Offense loaded with playmaker WR’s & a really good RB. The Defense is going to have to play well above their means in order to slow down that high-octane attack & their best strength is our biggest weakness Defensively, the Deep ball.

Either way, we’re going to have regroup go back to the drawing board & get it corrected, because next week will be a season defining game; it’s time to put the big boy pants on & man up. Whether you believe it or not, the season hinges on it, we lose to UNC & the Clemson, NC ST, FSU & LVille games will carry that much more weight on the morale & confidence of the team to perform in big moments which can affect the tenor of the rest of the season adversely.

The only option to get beyond this loss is to beat UNC, so we’re going to see exactly what this team is made of, this one’s on you Mario, show us what ya got...


Go Canes

What hurts me the most is we had it won!!! As bad as that game was but we were the better team and were 5-0. I'm hoping we go 1-1 in the next two weeks. I always viewed the road game at UNC as the toughest. I just wanna beat Clemson

Everytime I try to stay positive about the ACC then we have a game like this where I just get reminded that we gotta get out of here.

No where else to go, can't be independent and win 5 or 6 games a year still. At this point gotta hope Acc stays together and ACC somehow pays the school's more money. No other conference wants Miami unless they want the basketball team
 
We'll, we're going to figure out how far we are in the rebuild next week.

Either we win and the loss against GT becomes an afterthought and you still ride en route towards the ACC title game.

Or you lose and you pray that the season won't fall apart.

Or, as Rocky Balboa once said: Its not about how hard you hit, its about how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.
 
concerned that it took Dawson 3 quarters to adjust but excited to see what’s next. This is going to determine how the rest of the season goes. GT put out the blueprint. Hopefully less of 84 and more of Harrell and Smith please.
 
I understand why the offense was predictable tonight.

When your QB is rattled, and your defense is playing ours was and you can get out with the win by just running the ball you do it no matter how bad it is.

Only part we didn’t do was knee it for the W.

Good stuff, Op

You’re right about the schedule. If coaches aren’t careful, this could turn into a 4-5 loss Slide Over the next 6 games.

As for the ending, Mario had a chance to tell TVD to kneel. A play or 2 before the fumble, TVD snapped the ball with 16 secs left on the playclock. Mario should have stepped in there and told Dawson/TVD enough of this ****, we’re fuccin this up - kneel the ball. That was the omen.
 
For how impossibly bad TVD and cristobal were wow that secondary was *** in the prevent. Prevent d and jump 2 consecutive routes. I mean that rainbow to couch wow truly awful by him and kam
 
Next week will show TrumpyCane if Mario has this team united.

Wouldn't shock TrumpyCane if we win or get blown out by 40, going by the last 21 years it will be a blowout by UNC but hope to be pleasantly surprised.
