EDIT, because I misunderstood what he wrote.

What's interesting about this is he says here:

So 260.5 of Fletcher's playoff yards are after contact, average of 4.49 yac vs 3.02 yac for him during FBS regular season games. So 49% increase in the playoff.

However he's averaging 2.32 yards before contact on average in playoffs vs 1.62 in regular season, a 43% increase.

I think he's trying to say our turnaround in running is because of poor tackling and the cow ****ers tackle good, so it's unsustainable. perhaps. But that doesn't explain why Fletcher has increased his yards before contact by nearly the same magnitude

We are a completely different running team now than we were at any other point in the season, save for the UF/USF games. The big boys up front and our TEs and WRs are creating massive running lanes. Best of luck cow ****ers

I think in the beginning of the season we were running it well. First five games or so. Then we tailed off. Carson started throwing it well. We played 7 straight games with no bye. We got a huge rest. And now we’re running it well against better competition. Maybe the rest did us well
 
Mesidor, Bain, Scott, Blay (get it together), Lightfoot, Scott, Blount

Brock, Cici, Bell, Coop, McCoy, Pancake

This isn't rocket science here. Our team is based on these war daddies. They must win or we will get pummeled by RPO all game and blitzing from everywhere. Both squads know it. On paper we should, they are smaller than any ACC team we've played. Time to prove it one last time!

Oregon WAS running it on em before they imploded. They were talking about the Oregon gameplan being to run it. Instead they had to throw and decided to leave their QB back there holding the ball waiting for 4 verticals to clear and taking sacks.

Oregon were missing a number of their top running backs and had to convert a few defensive players to play running back that game

Everybody forgets that after the pick 6 Oregon went right down the field on them and scored. Mistakes had Oregon down 21-7 real quick (pick 6 and fumble on their own 3 yard line) and completely changed the game. Game script made Oregon one dimensional and Indiana never let them back in it.

Look at the stats of the game. The 3 turnovers lead to 21 points and Oregon couldn't get off the field on 3rd down.

Also Mendoza fumbled twice but Indiana recovered both times.

Nothing new or revelatory, but as a daily reminder:

Miami's DL has an advantage over IU's OL. Miami's OL has decided advantage over IU's DL.

There's all this talk about how Miami just might be able to steal away a victory. I don't see it like that at all. Championship games are largely decided on: #1 The trenches and #2 Dominant D.

As long as we don't implode, we win. This talk about Miami having to play their A+++ game is cute. We play a B to B+ game and we win. We play an A- game and we win by multiple scores. Not being ****y, just looking at the matchups.

One other thought:

There's nothing IU will present that Miami hasn't already seen and seen a better version of - and beat that version!
Miami's faced a better D (sorry, but that's coach speak from Mario). I may change my mind after the game, but I would say we've faced at least 4 comparable or better D's than IU's - UF, ND, OSU and TAMU. IU has faced one tough D in OSU.

We've faced efficient passers in Sayin and others. People forget - if OSU's kicker makes that FG and they go on to win that game, Sayin is the Heisman. Sayin was more efficient over the course of the year.

We've faced WR corps that are as good or better than IU's: OSU (obviously), TAMU, Ole Miss, Louisville, etc.

We've faced far better RB's than IU has: ND, MISS, TAMU, Louisville, and more.

We've faced OL's as good or better than IU's: ND, TAMU, OSU, and others.

But IU hasn't faced the level of violence they are about to face on both sides of the ball. I think they are going to be surprised by the way our OL handles their DL this game. All that spinning and stunting that worked most games except for the talented D's they faced, will result in gashing plays for our run and short passing game.

I'm not ****y and we could certainly lose, but if we do, it will be because of us not them. If both teams play their A games (or at least start that way) we win by 2 or 3 scores. If we shoot ourselves in the foot, then it's anyone's game, but there is no way we get blown out. For these pundits to pronounce that confidently, assures me that they're not really analyzing these teams.

If it's close going into the 4th, our depth and their depth will decide the game, which means we win #6.

Early prediction: Miami 27 - IU 17.
 
I will say this, I have faith in our defense. Despite the lack of sacks, Chambliss got the ball out quick. Quicker than he has this season. The defense sped him up which was the goal. The only thing they had to do was capitalize on those ints and it would have almost been a perfect game.
