So let me get this straight

He’s saying Indiana guy knew our line calls and the play even with our guys giving out dummy calls? Crazy the level of prep.

Think about this.

We called a dummy play. ONE guy on Indiana figured out what we were actually going to do, and he TRIED to tell the other 10 guys.

You know how you can figure out that his warning fell on deaf ears? BECAUSE IT WENT FOR A 57 YARD TOUCHDOWN. Our first TD.

Anyone who thinks Indiana DID NOT have our plays is just fooling themselves.

"Well-coached". "Well-prepared". These are Indiana synonyms for "having the other team's offensive playbook".

It sucks, but it's true.

Yeah in that first half seemed like they dam Near knew what play we were running on every snap. Def some type of advantage they have with scouting/playbooks that other schools don’t have.

Hold on now. Are you serious? Do we think Indiana had Miami's plays (other than learning tendencies, etc)? If we think that, why do we think that?

See, I'm ready to believe it. But I'd like some proof.

That first half, did you know what most of our plays were?

Coaches have systems and tendencies, very rarely deviating from them. Both schools went into that game doing what got them there. Neither went away from what worked to that point in the season until they had to.

Mario wanted to run over them. They knew that, we knew that, but I was hopeful we'd come up with a strategy to counter what they do from snap one. We didn't, it cost us, and at the half we made adjustments.

In closing, you didn't need our playbook, you just needed film on us. So again, did you know our plays when we lined up?

New plays like HB draws and HB screens might have worked since did not run these all year. He’ll even the counters worked because it threw them off. Indiana do not have to prepare for a big game plan and yes we still almost pulled it off because our guys were bigger, stronger, and more athletic.

The paranoia factor of a loss of this magnitude is always off the charts. That said, yeah these c**ts f**ked us and infiltrated our playbook. There were red flags prior to the game, scuttlebutt so to speak.That program and its bulls**t one hour practice schedule, f**k that if it walks like a Duck, looks like a Duck, it’s S**t just sayin’

Sour grapes reporting but still think they are cheating.

Just don’t see HOW 70-80 mins of practice has a team this prepared week in and week out. I get it they were older. Older doesn’t always mean better. Somehow they hit older is better at like 18/22 starting spots.

Older isn't better in the NFL because guys are aging out. 25 and 26 year olds aren't aging out, in their prime actually.

Tip of the hat to Indiana. They got the job done.

This is still the craziest thing about all of last season. It wasn’t even ****** discussed!…..

….As more talking heads cared for misunderstanding a quote about Carson Beck not going to class: fall semester was over and he wasn’t going to enroll in winter/spring classes with the NFL Draft approaching, duh. Plus the other regurgitated cliches and stories we heard ad nauseam.

The CFB national media + National Collegiate-Cartel run, primarily, by the b1g, notre lame, and the $€©️, care more about Xavier Lucas scenarios threatening their fake it till they make it arbitrary, singular transfer portal period for college football; then, i dunno, preventing a playoff scholarship player (or coach!) from switching schools before the national title game.

****** pathetic.

We all knew that weird crap was going to happen, there's been rumors about that and IU all year long. Oh the F well. What's funny is that even with that level of information, they were an Alex Bauman "What kind of block was that" away from losing the game.

We beat ourselves, had Miami played a relatively clean game, this isn't a conversation.
 
Indiana may have had our playbook, but it doesn't explain their defense collapsing towards the end of the game.

They play tendencies and make educated guesses. They don't play beyond the ball, they keep it in front. People go "Oh, but they can't practice for this short and then play like this"... Yes, you can. Indiana, very likely, has very good research teams studying opponents and creating charts with plays. And let's be real, we weren't multiple, we had select plays that we ran over and over and over again. We beat Ole Miss on third down three times with the same concept.

Saban wanted Mario to break tendencies because Indiana prevents you from establishing base plays. That's really just it. Joe Gibbs had his coaching staff prepare more tape over any other team for his players to study and won Super Bowls with backups and replacement players.

Studying is the key to success in team sports. Always has, always will be.

Some validity there.

But we would have helped ourselves significantly if we could have defended the back shoulder throw in the second half
