Miami playmakers are the difference.
Their backs and receivers (and QB) played so hard every play breaking tackles and making catches. They are dangerous every time they get the ball in space.
Their secondary had a few drops that could have had UM pulling away and their D had some stupid penalties but still lights out.
If Indiana gets past Oregon, this is going to be a very interesting match up on both sides of the ball.
Are we obligated to pull for UM? I think it shows players that if you come to VT, the ACC has a path to the CFP title game.

Of course u know that, you saw the same game I did. Miami just let ole miss hang around.
This is where I think the game comes down to (if it's Hoosiers playing Canes... 1. will Miami be disciplined 2. special teams and 3. QB play (which Carson Beck shows up). Both teams are great up front. Who wants to it more and who makes the least mistakes/ penalties.
Pulling for IU tonight vs Ducks, love 'Doza , Cig and IU's story, but will not be mad if Canes end up win the natty. Really like Cristobol.

He can make some good middle\deep throws, but he is at his best simple routes \ passes to the flats and letting the talented WR/RBs do their thing. Very much a west coast offense. High % completions and first downs while taking a lot of time of clock.

They could have attempted zero passes and won that game.

Their run game is fine. But the simple passes to the flats keep the secondary on its toes and those deep balls when they hit were killer.

When Miami hands the ball of, and it doesn't matter if its power, IZ or OZ... they get yards. Period. And a lot of yards. The defense can bring all 11 guys in the box and Miami would still get a push.

team vs their rank. I can see Indiana winning their game with ducks big time. Thatâs based on watching both teams play multiple games. Of course I could be wrong but I donât think so. But hey thatâs why they play the game. I felt like Miami would win last night and they did based on their balanced team and being very physical on offense and defense.

from last nights game. But they would need to play a more perfect game and not make some of the critical mistakes they did last night especially missing interceptions when you have the chance to change the game and put it away. But if I were a betting man, I would pick Indiana at this point.

Getting to the title game was ok for me to root for them because they knocked out two SEC teams and a BIG team.
But for the title game, they have enough trophies. Will not root for them and donât care if it helps the ACC. Itâs Miami. I want them to lose.
