Everyone of our losses ended the exact same way. With a questionable Beck INT that would later be blamed on a "miscommunication". Indiana ran a much cleaner operation and they didn't make stupid mistakes or have "miscommunication". That is why they are National Champions. On the 4th and 5 where Mendoza ran it in for a TD, both Bain and Mesidor said after the game that we knew it would be a QB draw. When the reporter asked them why they didn't stop it, Bain and Mesidor both said there was a miscommunication in the defense. I believe the call never made it to Mo Toure who was completely out of position to stop a QB draw as he was aligned as a safety trying to defend a pass. Again, little mistakes are costly in Championship games.

With all that, we still had an opportunity to steal that game if Beck doesn't attempt that low percentage pass into double coverage at the Indiana 41 with 52 seconds left on 1st and 10. That's all history now. Time to move forward and make 2026 about winning #6.

No excuses, but we had the toughest road to get there, and we came up one drive short. We had so much go right for us along the way though...how many third down clutch conversions, how many timely INT's, etc etc etc. I'm ok with it, but for **** sake I aint watching that **** again lol

Call it sour grapes or whatever, but if you watched that game vs Miami’s defense and said that’s the guy that we can win in the NFL with…I just don’t see it, but maybe that’s why I’m a keyboard warrior!
 
As Denny Green once said
We knew exactly whom they were
And
We let em off the hook

Trust me cig knows **** well he was lucky that Beck got greedy
I’m hoping coaches rewatched and realized they should have e been playing clock as well as trying to score
We needed to score w ten seconds left to win
Not 52!!!

Situational football!!!!

Right there with you. This team is more complete and well rounded than last year’s. Mario has activated the juggernaut.

Yea I never been so excited for Canes football in my entire life, I know we are in juggernaut mode. I am not worried I got my feet on the desk smokin and chillin, knowing that we about to **** up the whole system.
 
Hurts worse because after that run we had, I *knew* we were gonna punch it in on the last drive to finish a magical season. It just made sense, I believed.

The games before that I was still somewhere between pleasantly surprised and thankful to be where we were. But when I saw we were getting the ball with a chance to win and about a minute left, well, that’s who we had become. It was the perfect moment.

Yeah, it hurts.

I have not been able to watch the natty game or last drive, we had #6

Appx 60 yards to go a lil less than 2 min left, all we had to do was run the ball or throw it short like the last 3 games and we score a TD!

At least throw it to Baby Jesus if your going to take that long throw risk!

SMDH
 
Not at the point where I can rewatch that game yet.

I saw a couple of clips in a Malachi Toney highlight video recently and it made me feel sick all over again
