My one and only comment in this thread. (Completely uninformed, maybe ESPN will hire me).

We have the personnel on D to stop their run game. Pletcher had a good game after wearing down A&M. But if the D can slow/stop it, then Beck becomes the main weapon on O to distribute. Beck needs to be quick and precise, like he's trying to get with another OF girl. It won't happen, but I would love to see Caleb on Toney all game. He's the main weapon. They have a few other guys in the passing game to help. But, meh.

Their D is what could keep them in the game. Great DL play. They put a lot of pressure on the OL and disrupt shit. No clue on their LB's. The DB's have been solid and can cause turnovers. OSU OL play will determine the outcome more than anything. If Julian has time, game over.

Special teams hopefully doesn't need to play a role. Our punter doesn't outkick the coverage and needs to stop Toney if he gets a crack. FG's, F*#$ me. It's indoors, but still.

OSU 31 - Miami, FL 13

To be fair, the only time I've heard anyone talk is Jeremiah. And the few times JJ has talked shit he's backed it up emphatically. Wished he would've chirped before the B1G Championship.

That’s the game. We can’t block them then this is a 4 quarter game. If we can then this will be over by the end of the 3rd.

An underrated concern is the longer layoff and I have to admit our guys are kind of talking a bit while Miami is just saying the right things.

Not sure why we are talking about “ going to go back to back” or “no one can block me” or “we have something for them” or saying we have new things in defense etc but it’s a bit out of norm. We aren’t normally the team talking but we are. It’s not a lot but it’s for sure more than typical.

So a bit paranoid that we are kind of working ourselves up a bit. I can absolutely see a way we lose this game. The guys better come into this not taking them lightly. I assure you they don’t GAF about what we did last year and our anger about last game will only help for about the first 2-3 plays.

Mark Pantoni deserves a lot of credit for this one as he handled the conversations all day with Jacobs agency Athletes First.
