We gave up 587 yards

As long as you win, I don’t care. But if you lose, burn down the house.

Defense is terrible. We have young offensive players willing this teams to wins. Defense came up big at the very end but 587 yards is a complete joke.

FYI Kenneth Walker scored 5 TD’s today against Michigan.

It is, but let's not do the thing where every opponent we beat is suddenly trash, especially when everyone was predicting a Pitt blowout. That was the #3 offense and a QB who was getting Heisman hype. They average 45+ ppg, the D gave up 34 (really 27 as they got gifted a TD to start).
It was pretty much the defensive gameplan I would have expected against Clemson last year - very little chance of shutting down the O ( no one else could either), so try to win a shootout and the D just needs to force turnovers. Don't worry about the yards, worry about the points. Not happy with them getting so many wide open looks so a lot could be improved, but at the end of the day, UM kept them to more than 11 points below their scoring average and we won the game.
 
Both teams on pace for 500 plus. It was bad today, but it happens all over football every weekend.

The linebackers can not cover the crossing route. if a team can complete that play we are in trouble on defense. That and they don’t fill gaps well on inside I running plays. The linebackers are holding this team back.

so what I am gathering from the posters above is Miami being ranked # 77 or worse in total defense totally acceptable. We are truly living in the participation trophy era.

I’d say 80’s after today but yeah.
 
Looking forward to seeing all his excuses about being torched yet again. @Cribby he's worse than Golden because at least Golden recruited his *** off. Lost a lot but never stopped recruiting. Manny is useless as a recruiter.

And yet, even compared to those teams, this defense is still in the bottom third. While it happens across the country every weekend, it doesn’t happen to the same team every weekend. To Manny’s defense, however, it does.
