Every team talks about “adversity” to the point it doesn’t mean anything. Apparently no one thinks any team can win ever according to post game interviews
It’s bull**** really
But this team is built different
There’s always been great collections of talent in college football, but TEAMS are what win
What we’ve witnessed since that SMU loss was a collection of talent truly become a TEAM
The moment I knew this was ours was when Malachi Toney fumbled against A&M. It felt like watching Restrepo fumble against Syracuse
The kid didn’t deserve to go out like that same as X. He deserved better. So why does it keep happening?
THIS is why the Miami Hurricanes take home the title and restore balance to the college football world
Carson Beck: QB1 finally had his playoff moment. He’s had a bizarre season. It’s almost like he’s an afterthought on one of the two best teams in the sport. Known more for his off the field performances than on. He’s not a great QB but he’s a really good one. When I saw him in tears after the Ole Miss game, it really sunk in. Mendoza won the Heisman and is everyone’s golden boy. Saying he’s from Miami is hilarious. The narrative is built. Mendoza returning to the team that spurned him for the big name superstar and winning it all on their field. Nice story. If this was a Disney movie we would know what’s gonna happen (and Mendoza would be trans). This is Se7en. This is Game of Thrones. This is Red Dead Redemption. The “hero” will not win.
Malachi Toney: It was said Anakin Skywalker was born to restore balance to The Force. Wrong. The Elder Scrolls 6 will cover the real prophecy. As follows: September 17, 2007 a child will be born that will restore balance to the college football world. If his powers fall to the SEC the world will continue its descent into darkness. If the Light side can prevail the child the evil will recede and the world will push into a Utopia. Take your PFF analysis and + analytics and toss them in the trash. It is written. Toney will also finally return a punt for TD in this one
Akheem Mesidor: Just like Unc throwing on a knee sleeve and some busted *** Jordaches, Mesidor doesn’t look like much sitting there watching the young bucks high flying on the court. Until he steps on the court and starts breaking ankles with crossovers and fade away jumpers that you just…can’t…*******…block. You triple team him and he tosses some bull**** no look pass between your legs to Bain crashing the rim and it’s over. He will be missed
Reuben Bain: Old school cartoon kids will feel me here when I say every time I see him bust up an OT I hear “HASSAN CHOP!”. Not sure how a kid is both 21 and 65 at the same time but Bain’s got that grown man strength. The type of guy that goes down to the junkyard and carries home a new fridge for the garage. I feel like trying to block him would be like a combo of Blanka and E Honda when he gets that kung fu **** going. Indianas OL is in for a long night
Keionte Scott: The Jump Scare. The Boogeyman. Chad Kroeger wishes his Nickelback had as many big hits as Keionte. This game is going to be about bigtime players making bigtime plays, and no one is bigger than Scott. If Clayface from DC were a defensive back he would be this kid. The way he contorts his body and changes shape to avoid blockers and find lanes would make Neo and the girl from the Exorcist jealous
CJ Daniels: Last week it was Marion. This week I think it’s CJ that makes the X factor play. He’s quietly had a **** of a season despite getting hurt. A hellacious blocker and mass tough catches, it’s time for him to get back to his flying ways. I expect CJ to channel his inner Shawn Kemp and take an Indiana DB to flight school
Last week every point Indiana scored on Oregon the more I smiled. “More” I said. “More”. Indiana is a great team but it’s a mirage. They haven’t faced a team this nasty, this physical, this “**** you” all season
They way so many have tried to start dragging us through the mud again…they deserve to win.
I refuse to believe that Indiana is ready to go bell to bell with us, I guess we’ll see…
