I think we have a more favorable match-up with either of those 2 compared to Ole Miss (style of team we are prone to losing too).

I agree. I don't know why anyone would think Chambliss was a bum. He has a much better arm than either of our next possible qb's we will see. He was giving us fits.

Either way, still going to be a 60 minute battle whoever we play. Going to need some db's back asap.

Anyone who thought he was a bum is crazy and did zero research/ watched no film.

Agreed, no matter the ops it's going to be a war.

Wow - I hope that stays. I could see money on Miami moving both lines. If I were Vegas, I would have Indiana by -2.5 or -3 and Oregon -.5 or a pick em.
 
I looked at the bracket tonight, now that the dust has settled. Indian's side of the bracket was pitiful. The two worst SEC teams, OU and Alabama. Texas Tech. James Madison. Oregon. Indiana. Gift wrapped for Indiana.

Our side? The three best SEC teams. Ole Miss, Georgia, and Texas A&M. Tulane. Ohio State. Miami. What a difference.

They were the #1 seed, we were the #10. Our path was always going to be harder.

Have you not seen that team play? They are a machine. Our Canes will have to play lights out and hope that IU has an off game in order for us to take home the Natty.

Terrible take.

the toughest team on both our schedules was a common opponent- Ohio State. IU won by 3 due to a missed Ohio St FG , and Jeremiah Smith was hurt. We played against a healthy Smith and won by 10.

Miami wins if it plays a clean game like it did against Ohio State. Indiana doesn’t need to have an off day for UM to win. If both teams bring their A game, Miami is going to win. We have the superior size, talent, athleticism.

It’s not a terrible take. It’s called my opinion.

You must not have watched that team play too many times. They have the best coaches in CFB, and way less talent overall (according to their overall team composite score) than their opponents. Yet they still have blown out almost everyone that they’ve played.

Our Canes will not only have to play clean, but they will have to control the clock and score TD’s consistently. Their D is 2nd in the country overall and also in points allowed. Their D scheme involves overloading one side with exotic blitzes and complex stunts, which have given almost every OL that they’ve faced fits. They also don’t show you their defensive looks until very late, so it’s hard for opposing QB’s to quickly identify what it is that they are doing.

Their offense is methodical with the running game, but hits on lots of big plays with the passing attack. Both of their RB’s are strong and fast. They also specialize in throwing back shoulder passes to their big (PAUSE) and athletic WR’s. We are hurting on the DB front because of injuries, which is a big disadvantage for us. Plus Lucas will be out for the 1st half of the game, which will make it even tougher.

Can we win this game? Yes.

But we will need to play our best game of the year by far. Indiana will have to make some uncharacteristic mistakes as well. But that’s why they play the games on the field.

I’ll be pulling for my Canes, as I’ve done for the past 42 years that I’ve been a fan. But we have a very tough mountain to climb this time.
