Semifinal No. 2: Indiana vs. Oregon

[Tei Tenga]

The Oregon comeback begins...

 

[flips]

I’m not sure 42-14 is “close enough.”

Just imagine if they had made that FG before the half

 

[BeastMode]

Make them work for it. More sprained ankles and knees for Indiana, run Mendoza and get him knocked out

 

[OldhamA]

Absolute best thing that could’ve happened for us.

The entire world is screaming that Indiana is the best team ever and they’re gonna beat us by 50.

Perfect.

Best thing would be Mendoza getting broken in half.

But if you're above such things, then yes Miami being underdogs is pretty good too.

 

[Hold My Beer]

The ref swallowed his flag on that long run - mercy rule. Blatant block in the back.

You're too kind.

That dumb *** probably wasn't paying attention and just missed the call

It will be interesting to see how Indiana responds when they face a Miami team that can match or exceed their physicality.

 

[SayWhat]

I would play the same way we played the 1st half against Ole Miss. Tight man preas coverage and get pressure. Do that and Mendoza will be under 70%. The throws won't be as accurate if you force him to move or run for his life.

That and we also weren't full press to get up the field. We weren't playing meet you at the QB like we have been. There was a concentrated effort to set the edges rather than get up the field while maintaining a solid front. We wanted to force everything they ran outside and swarm tackle them. We lost gap integrity on that long run, they executed it well and that was the only real damage done on the ground.

 

[YankeesCane]

Lost in all this is how grossly incompetent the committee is

We had to beg to be included and now proving we belong

The committee botched this and thought Oklahoma, Alabama, Oregon, even Texas Tech were exceptional teams and give them rankings and seeding they didn’t deserve

 

[Canestomp]

The way Brady says "roughing the passer" is sus as fk.

 

[OldhamA]

Does Tom Brady really need Pizza Hut's money?

When is enough, enough Tom?

 

[Unsider]

Those tall WR could be a challenge. They have a huge catch radius and don't seem to drop anything.

Hope those DBs and safeties get healthy quick this week

Ole Miss wrs we’re tall as well, we had problems defending.

 

[Texas Cane]

Everyone is already handing the trophy to IU....

Good let them keep telling them
How good the Hoosiers are! Hope we are 10 point dogs!

My fellow fan, IU is really, really good. That doesn’t mean we can’t beat them. But it’s s mistake to put so much emphasis on recruiting rankings. If that was what mattered, OSU and Georgia would be in the NC game.

nowhere did I say they aren't good. They are.

We are the more talented team (Go watch the NFL draft this spring) and we are 7 point underdogs. Pretty lucky scenario to find ourselves TBH. We have won a few Championships playing as underdogs to lesser talented teams.

We could actually be playing a great team like the 2019 LSU squad with 3 NFL HOF players. We are not.

 

[YankeesCane]

Indiana’s WRs are a problem. They’re big and catch

Brother I’m not above my mother getting broken in half if that means we get a dub next week. Mendoza can be reduced to molecules by a nuclear weapon for all I care.

Indiana are where they are largely because they’re very well coached..we are well coached AND uber talented , should be a great game. Let’s go canes

The same as OSU did.... Deer in headlights

 

[miamicanephins]

bring it back
