We need for sure a starting LT. We need to get Austin back to RG so we can stop that nightmare rotation.

The Defense gave up 17 points. And 7 they let walk in at the end.
The offense was the problem. You can not take the first half off with your offense and expect to win big games.
Instead of the pick 6 you get a fg there and that is a 10 point swing. And Miami is driving to tie game at the end.
No the offense lost that game 100% IMO.
I am of the opinion that if your defense gives up less that 20 you should win. Especially in college football. And in perfect conditions like last night that defense played fine.

100% agree, the team approached the game with a Sleep Walker mentality. Laughably enough, probably what the 2002 Miami team did. You'll get humbled in this sport. Still... the defense was rocking.

I think one big knock on the defense, that I'm also jealous of because OSU didn't utilize it, is the QB run on broken plays or you know just throwing the ball away to avoid sacks. Beck was able to extend multiple drives due to almost just "wanting it more" and taking off. Sayin had at 2 3rd downs I can remember where he could've run for less than 5yds and got a 1st down. There were also countless times I was screaming at my TV for Sayin to just throw the ball away and not get sacked. I think the experience gap between the QBs was on display. Beck kept his offense ahead, and not having to make hero throws to get 1st downs.

The defense did its just by not allowing a ton of points but they absolutely got gutted in the most crucial situations. The offense scoring 0 points and giving a pick 6 in the first half pretty much killed the game but in the end the defense failed to come through as well.

Gave up 150+ rushing too and allowed 50% conversions on third down too. Just couldn’t get off the field and got pushed around at key points too

yep, bend but don't break is fine when your offense is putting up points. But otherwise, both sides are just killing clock.

I so agree with this post. Miami just seemed to want it more top to bottom. The energy and individual efforts by Miami players was different.
Lots to digest. I come away with more questions than answers.
I do not like the way they do the playoffs with such a long layoff and I also feel like with such a long layoff other things off the field come into play more due to player movement and coaching chances. The product of the actual football game is suffering due to the current structure of the playoffs and current state of NIL and transfer portal.
I am now convince the 1st 2 rounds should be home games for the higher seeds and the semis and finals should be the only bowl games. This weekend should be the semis IMO.
Imagine if HS football to a 3-4 week break between the last game and playoffs.
