Do they though?...the Canes lost those games not because both of those teams offenses went nuts on us...in those games, both teams benefitted from Canes mistakes on offense, not because the defense couldnt handle their offenses. SMU and Louisville got a lot of breaks in those game. Sure, they got some yards, but scoring wasnt easy. This team has left that team behind...they are focused and locked in. Canes 31 Ole Miss 20

Louisville needed to do a bunch of gimmicks like changing the QB every drive and pulling off a fake FG. They also played aggressive , hit hard and caused a bunch of turnovers on D. Their coach had a unique game plan and made good adjustments.

Just a weird fluke of a Friday night. Not sure Mississippi can do anything remotely close to that.

No no, they did nothing Carson was trying to do things he shouldn’t have done all night. That game was on Beck and he admitted that. SMU the offense was broken

Their D made incredible plays and was stout for the most part.
Cannot completely blame it all on Beck but yes, his decision making was bad compared to now.

Louisville - they scored 14 points in the first 10 minutes. Then, 10 points in the next 50 minutes. Beck tossed 4 INTs. That's it. Just the combo of those two things, Miami's defense being not-completely-ready for Louisville's first-quarter scripted offensive wrinkles, and Beck's mistakes costing us 4 scoring drives, including the final drive of 54 yards that was about to yield either the winning TD or the game-tying FG.

SMU - Beck tossed 2 INTs, including one in OT. But it was an OT game.

We scored 21 against Louisville and 20 against SMU. Our two lowest-scoring games of the regular season, in games not involving aTm, massive winds, and a post-season game.

If anyone thinks we will be held to 21 points or less against Ole **** on a neutral field, they need to explain WHY. Since the SMU game, Carson Beck has thrown ONE INT across six games.

As for OUR defense, it has been fearsome since the SMU game. We have given up 10, 7, 17, 7, 3, and 14 points in the last 6 games, half of which were against ranked teams (including two CFP teams). That is an average of 9.67 points per game across 6 games.

So if I were to guess, I'd say that 24-10 or 28-17 would be two of the more likely winning margins that Miami will post against Ole Miss.

Yep...that is exactly the point...the closer we get to the game, the better I feel.

To hear the stories, you'd have thought we were blown out. We lost one by 3 points because Beck had a horrible outing. The other was a fluke in overtime. We got spoiled by last year's offense and think that we should be putting up 40 points a game, when our defense is still holding opponent to the less than 26.

Remember D wins titles.
 
Let them believe that the Miami team that slept walked through that 11am kick at SMU is the same team lining up on January 8th. They will be severely disappointed just like a&m and Ohio State fans were
 
Beck was cooking the SMU game. Trash refs interfered and manipulated the narrative with that non call that became a int.

I rewatched both of those games and the defense settled down against Louisville, but the offense gave away three extra possessions in that game. I actually attended the SMU game and we just couldn’t get out of our own way. 12 penalties were killer along with bad officiating down the stretch. The SMU game was controlled when Miami was up 7-0 and then Jojo missed a perfect pass from Beck and it was picked off and they scored the next play tying the game up. I say 31-17. But, I like your style!

It's all good. I just think it is harder for us to pile up points when we are playing Top 10 teams. That is all. But I certainly would not mind breaking 30 on offense.
 
Penalties and playing ultra conservative with a lead is what killed us against SMU. We had that game in hand. Their fans were walking out with 3 minutes left.

I was watching highlights from the Ole Miss game against OU since I figured that was the best defense they had seen. While they are uptempo, they were not a quick passing team. Chambliss had a full drop back a lot. He also had his worst game in terms of completion %. It looked like although they didn't sack him a lot, OU contained him on the outside and blitzed a linebacker up the middle. I think we will see a lot of Bain on the inside with Lightfoot outside on passing downs to get the pressure coming from the middle.
 
Louie Louie and SMU were Ls.

However Miami got there (costly penalties and mental errors big factors) those mistakes simply can't be repeated against Ole Miss or the Rebels will make our Canes pay dearly.

I'm sorry...but the first 2.5 quarters of those games were like pathetic walk throughs.

50% more energy and fire would have paid dividends big time and they would not have come down to the final drives. This includes the coaching
