Everyone picked Indiana to win. Does Miami have a shot?
Can Miami derail Mendoza and the Hoosiers? It’s a tough ask. The Hurricanes have to run the ball against Haines’ defense, something almost no team has been able to do in a long time, and no one has been able to rattle the Heisman Trophy winner all season. One other key point from a coach who faced IU: Can Miami be patient? It’s something other Hoosier opponents haven’t been able to do.
“If you get impatient, bad stuff is going to happen. They make you put the ball in play, and they tackle you and you have to play the next play. People who get impatient get beat like Oregon just did.”
