What surprised you most about Miami's 2025 season?

[JayCane20]

Making it to the national championship

or

The immediate defensive turnaround

 

[dccane06]

The complete defensive turnaround. I expected a better defense (tbf anything was better than last year), but to have arguably the best defense in the nation was insane.

Toney was the biggest surprise by far. I've never seen a true freshman perform like this kid at this U.
He was so reliable, I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Immediate game changer.

 

[Dr. House]

Carson Beck banging a Latina weeks after officially coming (pause) here.

I mean, really, you couldn't keep your **** in your pants for more than two months? That was a surprise to say the least.

 

[caneforlifeforreal]

The coaching shift after SMU.

 

[CreativeCane]

It's between Toney and the defensive turnaround. We knew we had talent, but don't think anyone expected what we got from either one of those in year 1.

7 AND 1 AFTER THE SMU DEBACLE.

@DMoney question, when you post these threads why do you rarely, if ever, throw in your .02?

 

[E1k]

Coaching. They got everything out of this roster

 

[nel352]

Toneys play. How the defense became a force after a disastrous 2024.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Navigating through a tough playoff draw and making it to the championship.

 

[The U is back to work]

1. The defense going from bottom 10 to top 10
2. Malachi’s ability to be a 360° complete player at his size and never once hitting a wall in any aspect
3. Keionte Scott’s impact and how much it stood out every single game

 

[EudocimusAlbus]

The Pitt dominance leading into the CFP

 

[sedlst11]

Exactly how good Malachi Toney really was. Haven’t seen a freshman’s impact like that in a long time.

 

[JG31]

The team didn’t quit after SMU, and not only did they not quit they ended the regular season in dominant fashion

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

A high school senior being the best player on the field in the first game of the year and sustaining it for the season to become arguably the best football player in America.

I heard a lot. I expected a lot. He blowtorched my ******* face off. And he’s barely 18.

 

[QuattroCane]

The coaching shift after SMU.

Something flipped in MC's head, he became a different man.

@DMoney question, when you post these threads why do you rarely, if ever, throw in your .02?

I might start doing that. The truth is that I talk too much on the podcast. I like hearing what the board has to say.

Mesidor actually surprised me. I thought be was a really good player but the step he took to 1st rounder shocked me. He was the best player on the team at times.
