Miami may be the only fanbase dumb enough and with little enough football knowledge to make a big deal out of this. National media is nearly universally stating that it clearly wasn’t a catch. I genuinely can’t even believe there’s any controversy around it, in real speed the ball is out nearly instantly.

OSU fans are the worst fanbase, bar none.

I'm being defensive of my Miami brethren, but they're not BAD people. Or BAD fans. They're just little brother syndrome to the max.

They so desperately want to be a blue blood, while also judging the blue bloods for being blue bloods. Miami is the "nouveau riche" of college football.

The Miami fans I’ve seen on Twitter are miserable. They act like they haven’t been bottom feeders for the last 25 years. There’s a guy who has a Miami podcast, he wears sunglasses and just talks shit the entire time. It’s awful.

Nothing more to add that hasn't been said. Would've been a blowout without the injuries to Moore and Sanders. Defensive game plan was brilliant. The intensity the defense played with really makes you mad about how they played BYU. I know it's hard to get fired up like that for every game, but that was one of our two big games. Just c'mon
Need to make examples of the next three teams

On the flight home today I watched a lot of the broadcast to see how it looked/sounded. NBC really falls short on conveying the atmosphere. The place was an absolute snake pit.

If Moore doesn’t get hurt there, it was about to be a doors blown off beatdown. The walls were closing in hard on Miami. Bloodlust like you read about.

I said earlier in the week in the Miami thread that I wanted ND to come out and start fast. I wanted the D to play aggressive and with some passion. That was exactly what I was hoping for and some! Guys stepped up and delivered. I kept hoping Young was gonna get home for a sack. I admit I’m too lazy to look up his PFF grade or stats and maybe it won’t show up in the stat sheet but he was getting pressure and seemed to alter some plays. The DL as a group was eating. There’s a ton of depth on this team, hopefully we can start getting some guys back soon.

The run game struggled in the 2H because they shifted Moten to head up over Craig. Moten finished at 59% snaps there when he averages 38% prior to this week. They tend to run different schemes versus even fronts versus 5 man odd fronts. And I think basically neither worked when Moten was pushing Craig back consistently. It’s not a glaring red flag but is something at times and could be a factor against a potential CFP team with a strong interior. Moten/Scott is top 5 unit at worst, top 3 probably.

Would be interesting to see how we would counter that in a rematch because Craig was definitely getting worked at times last night. Not really a shot at him, just a tough assignment and he had a few major whiffs.

Their DL made our OL look somewhat silly during run plays. Complete opposite on passing downs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a huge discrepancy between the two in one DL.

Yeah, coming into the game I sort of wondered if their rushing defense stats were somewhat illusory due to other contextual factors. No, their run defense is the real deal. Those DTs they have are warpigs.

It is annoying how good Scott is considering that he was out of our backyard. I don't remember if he went to Miami before we got our NIL stuff in order or if he was never realistically coming here, but it's a shame.

Yep, it was evident MF had his fingerprints all over the D last night.

On Miami’s TD to Bartake, I was surprised we didn’t have a LB drop into the area to take away the slant.

Then why doesn’t he just coach the defense? I mean if you want defense assistants and such but it doesn’t seem like he’s capable of getting a good fit

No I initially responded to a few with the Gene Steratore and Terry McAuley explanations before realizing they’re just delusional fans lacking reason.

Oh no, you engaged so that's even worse lol. I'm afraid your algorithm is cooked for the next 4 days at least.
