Miami Hurricanes SURVIVE Against Wake Forest! Canes EXPOSED Now? What's NEXT? · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, boys, let's talk about it. Miami is 3-0.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'll say that again because the record book does not
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: care how it looked, but Miami is 3-0. They're a
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: quarter of the way through this season unscathed. But if
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: you watch this one, if you sat there for all
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: four quarters, either in Winston-Salem like my boy D-Money was
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: or just on your couch like I was, you know
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: that that record is doing a lot of heavy lifting
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: right now because this was not a performance like the
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: first two that we had seen For Miami, this is
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: not the team that hung near record yardage against FAMU
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: last week. This was a team that built a laugher
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and then watched it slip through its fingers and had
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to find the win in the fourth quarter against a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest team that has now lost 68 of its
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: last 69 games against top 10 opponents. We are ACC
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Football Addiction. This is TJ Pittenger. We are presented by PrizePix.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We're all new users who play a $ 5 lineup and win,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: get $ 150 in lineups instantly. It even took a safety
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and a fourth-quarter interception to close this one out, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that is the story of the night.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It's not really the record. It's the margin of victory.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Miami went into Winston-Salem as a top-five team, They were
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the most productive offense in the country through two games.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: They had eight straight wins over this Wake Forest program.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They were perfect in this building.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Every number on paper said that this game should not
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: have been close in the fourth quarter, but it was.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about how we got there. I've got some takeaways.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I've got some big picture thoughts and then I'm going
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to bed because I'm flying out to Tuscaloosa, Alabama in
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: several hours here. But, uh, Going to see FFSU doesn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: find themselves a new coach after whatever Bama does to us.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Miami came out and started the way that everyone expected.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Darian Mensah opened this game by completing his first 24 passes.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It broke the ACC single game record for consecutive completions.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Mensah's start and Miami's start offensively looked like this game
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: would not.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Be very entertaining for long.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He finished the night 30 of 34 for 220 yards
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and three touchdowns. He was efficient. I would say he
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: was surgical. He looked like he barely broke a sweat
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: doing what he did. However, if you zoom out, his
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: streak of consecutive completions across two games sat at 35.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: which means that he had already blown past Mitch Trubisky's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: old ACC multi-game record of 30, and he was only
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: one completion short of the NCAA record. However, his average
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: tonight was 6.5 yards. This game was not the highlight
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: show that you came to expect from the first two
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: games that Miami played. Joshua Moore caught a nine-yard touchdown
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: on the opening drive. Elijah Lofton caught a 21-yarder. Malachi
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Toney punched one in from short range to make it 31-7.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: By halftime, Miami was up 24-7, and this thing had
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Laffer written all over it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It was domination.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: It was the kind of half where you start wondering
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: how soon until the backups get in. Miami, again, pushed
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it to 31-7 early in the third quarter, and then
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: this team, Whether it be by injuries, whether it be
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: by focus, whatever the situation was.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Its foot came off the gas.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe it ran out of gas on a sleepy road
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Friday night game in conference. Whatever the reason was, that's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: not my job to diagnose. Mario can figure that out.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: But Wake Forest quarterback, Joe Lopez, specifically for this team,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: he started finding a rhythm. And their weapons, both Hernandez
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and Foley, started coming alive. Wake found a rhythm that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: had no business existing against this Miami defense. They hooked
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: up for a 17-yard score that made it 31-20 at
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: one point, and you started thinking, okay, now, this thing's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit too uncomfortable. Wake Forest clawed the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: score from 30-1 to 7 all the way to 31-20.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It was a four-touchdown blowout that became a real football game.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It was a team that entered the night 1-68 against
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: opponents like Miami. Think about that for just a moment.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want to belabor the point, but they were
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: 1-69 tries against top 10 competition. And there was a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: stretch of this second half when Wake Forest did not
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: care about that, and they didn't care about being down
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: by as many points as they were. So how did
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Miami actually finish this thing? Well, I'll tell you how.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Takeaway number two is the defense. Miami's front got home
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: late when it mattered. Damon Wilson II, Armando Blunt, Marquise Lightfoot,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Ahmad Moten, all three of them together combined for three sacks.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And more importantly, they got home when it mattered. A
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: holding penalty in the end zone turned into a safety.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: These guys from Miami's front, as much as I gave
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: credit to this defensive line, they certainly came alive when
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: it mattered. They had Lopez under duress, and as comfortable
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: as he looked at times, he looked like he wanted
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: no part of anything to do with that Miami front
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: late in the game. In the fourth quarter, they opened
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: up with a touchdown, but then they had the safety,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: they had a turnover on downs, they had another turnover
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: on downs on a four and out, and then they
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: had the pick. Miami's defense wasn't perfect by any means,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: but they bowed up when it mattered, and that's how
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: they got to 3-0. It's not necessarily the way that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: anybody would have drawn it up during a Tuesday practice,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: but it is how it happened. Think about the shape
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of this game for just a second. They were dominant
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: in the first half. I think they were sloppy in
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the third quarter. And then they white-knuckled the fourth quarter.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: It's three different football games all stitched into one box score.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And every one of those chapters tells you something real
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: about where this team is right now. And here's what
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: matters going forward, because the score is one thing. But
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: what this game revealed about Miami is the real story.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Takeaway number one, this team has to get healthy. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I mean that as plainly as I can say it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: There are too many guys that are banged up right now.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it is just bad luck.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I don't really subscribe to the idea of like, oh, well,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you got a bad strength and conditioning program or you
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: got this.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Football is weird, especially on the road.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Especially on a short, you know, the weeks have been weird,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and you're in weather, and I get all that. Marty Brown,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: down with a knee injury that the broadcast wouldn't show
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: on a replay. Ahmad Moten Sr. banged up an arm
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and he had to leave. Elijah Lofton scored a touchdown
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and then limped to the sideline. Malachi Toney, Miami's best
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: wide receiver, was basically running third down only reps for
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the rest of the second half once he got banged up.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: He was out there as a decoy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Mark Fletcher got popped late with an upper body injury
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and was in the locker room for the final five minutes.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Even Minta himself took some shots late and looked a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: little hobbled at times in the fourth quarter.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That's not just an injury list.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's not Lane Kiffin putting somebody on a depth chart
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: report that is trying to throw off an opponent. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: an avalanche of injuries. He had up to six or
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: seven guys hurt in one game. Some of them starters.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Some of the guys who were supposed to be the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: depth of a starter went down. And that's the part
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that worries me if I'm a Miami fan. It's not
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: just about who's hurt right now. It's about who's left
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: if one more domino falls next week. You cannot be
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the team that you guys want to be in November
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: if half of your two deep is walking around wounded
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in September. Miami's medical staff and training room are about
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to be the most important people in the building for
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks because talent doesn't matter if
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it's standing on the sideline in sweats. And like I said,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: some of this is just football. Bodies get banged up
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: in games. It's a violent physical game. That's why we
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: love it. They get banged up in September, just like
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they get banged up in November. But when it stacks
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: up like this, all in one night, against a team
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: that you're supposed to beat by multiple scores, it changes
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: how you have to think about the next few weeks.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Miami doesn't just get to plug in the next guy
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and pretend that nothing happened. Not at the positions that
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: guys are hurt right now. And now we get a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: test of Miami's depth. And we're about to find out
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: how fast this roster has the answers. Before I go on,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I just want to give Some love to, honestly, ourselves.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you guys a ton for watching. We appreciate
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you for listening, tuning into the show. Listen, I know
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you're maybe not in the best mood because of the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: way this game went down. What I would ask you
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is do me a favor and subscribe to our audio podcasts.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: You're going to watch our shows.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I know that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I love the support you guys give me.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: If you could subscribe to ACC Football Addiction, both on
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Apple or Spotify, and then obviously here on YouTube as well,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: we would appreciate that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Go check that out.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The links for Apple and Spotify are in the description,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: and I want to make sure that you guys are
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: taking advantage of that option as well.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: You don't have to buy anything today. Just go subscribe
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: on audio.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: My second takeaway is Darian Mensah is playing with a
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: level of precision that this program has not seen at
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: quarterback in a long, long time. In fact, I don't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: know ever. I know you guys have had elite guys.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to take anybody else and throw them
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: under the bus, but 30 of 34 players 24 straight
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: completions to open up a football game. He had a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: streak of 35 in a row across two weeks. That's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: already an ACC record. It's only one off from the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: NCAA record. And this is just who he is. Here's
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the part of the game that was different than what
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: we've been seeing from Miami in 34 attempts. But I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: told you his average was just six and a half
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: yards per attempt. I saw your tweets. I saw your posts.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I follow along while you guys are playing. Somebody said,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: if I see another screen pass, I'm going to break
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: my TV. May have been touchdown Timothy.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I think because of the injuries, you can understand it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But when this guy is precise as he is, as
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: accurate as he is, gets cut loose, he is unfair.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: When you're able to just let him push the ball
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: down the field, let him chase massive records instead of
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: just managing a game. It is going to bury a
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: lot of teams. He's one of the best players in
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the country. I think he's the leader for the Heisman
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: right now. And I don't know that it's necessarily close.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Now Miami has to build around protecting that value, especially
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: with the bodies dropping around him. And so, yeah, it
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: was an efficient night. It wasn't a Heisman moment by
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: any means, but I'll tell you his first three games
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: in a Miami uniform should scare everyone else on the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: schedule and everyone else in the country, because of this
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: team's healthy, they might have the best quarterback.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: In the entire country. playing in Coral Gables.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Like I said, there's a Heisman conversation happening around this
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: guy right now, and whether Miami fans want to acknowledge
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that after a game like tonight or not, I'm telling
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: you it's real. And every week he continues to stack
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: numbers like this, that conversation's going to get louder.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: The concerning part isn't Mensah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: It's whether the guys catching the passes and blocking for
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: him and on the other side of the ball are
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: going to be healthy enough to let him keep doing it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Takeaway number three, I want to give this credit to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the defensive line. Because for a long stretch of this game,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: they made Gio Lopez look pretty uncomfortable. Three sacks, a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: safety forced by pressure in the end zone, an interception
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: in the red zone with the season hanging on it
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: based on the pressure that he was getting. It wasn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: just the sacks, though. It was what the pressure did
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to his rhythm. He had errant throws. He had so
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: many passes where he just threw the ball away. As
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: good as he looked at times, he still finished 29-46.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: 17 incompletions. I obviously haven't rewatched the game yet as
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: it's nearly 1 a.m.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: When I'm recording this. I bet you count at least 10.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Of those that were throwaways from pressure passes that weren't
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: even necessarily close.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Now, when he got time, he was really good.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Massive hat tip to Gio Lopez. There were times when.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest offense just could not do anything because the
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: pressure was so in his face. And that is what
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a defensive front for Mario Cristobal is supposed to do.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Make the quarterback play faster than he wants to. That
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: front wasn't perfect. Lopez still went for over 300 yards.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: There are questions at the second and third level of
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: this defense, and that defensive line could have been better
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: in certain moments. But when it mattered the most, they
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: stepped up. They were not elite for... large portions of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: this game. But then that fourth quarter came and things
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: did flip. He was getting hit. He was getting the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: ball out early or late or off target. Wake Forest
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: couldn't move the chains. They had a couple of three
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and outs. They had a four and out late in
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the game. They were a different team when this Miami front,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: which comes at you in waves and waves and waves
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: started to decide that they were going to decide this
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: football game. So massive credit to them. This can't be
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: a unit, though, that only shows up when the game's
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: on the line. Because against a real team that doesn't
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: wilt when you finally turn the pressure off, this won't
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: be the difference. Takeaway number four, and this is the
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: one that matters to me the most, this team has
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to be better than it was tonight. And I know
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the injuries are a real thing. You guys know I've
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: tried to keep it pretty real on here. I've called
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: good good and bad bad. Some people like that, some
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: people don't. I think you guys mostly appreciate it. I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: pretty confident they can be better and they will be better.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And the injuries are a real thing. So I'm not
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: burying Miami for not covering a spread when they're undefeated
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: right now. But let's be honest about what we watched.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Tonight was good enough to beat Wake Forest. It was
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: not good enough to have won in South Bend. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: think all of you would agree with that. It was
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: not good enough to win the games that actually decide
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: where this season goes.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I'll be honest. You ain't got a lot
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of those this year.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: You can probably get away with some C-type performances quite often,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: but you don't blow a 31-7 lead when the other
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: team looks like they're this close to quitting and let
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: that come all the way back to 31-20 against a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: team like Wake Forest and call it a good performance.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: You guys survived it. You got the win. The record
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: says 3-0, and 3-0 is still undefeated. This was nothing
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: like Michigan's performance against Western Michigan couple of weeks ago,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: but your margin for error got exposed a little bit tonight.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That doesn't exist against some of the teams that you'll
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: play later in the year. And maybe not until South bend,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: maybe not until the ACC championship, maybe not until the playoff,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: but I think you did get the wake up call
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: tonight that you needed. There's a real difference between a
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: team that plays a bad half and still wins by
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: four scores and and a team that doesn't quite play
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: up to par and needs a safety in a fourth-quarter red.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Zone interception to survive.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Miami was the second version of that tonight, and the
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: schedule is not the toughest, but there are tougher teams
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: than Wake Forest on it for sure. Every mistake that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: got covered up tonight by talent and by a fourth-quarter
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: defensive stand, those same mistakes get magnified against a team
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: that's actually able to respond. Here's the thing, and I
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: want to be fair, as I've just criticized Miami a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: little bit for tonight's performance, and I want to look
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: at this team specifically under Mario Cristobal. You guys, I think,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: will agree with this, but other Miami teams from the past,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I'll say recent pasts, maybe even from the beginning of
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Mario's tenure, they would have blown this game. This exact game,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: we've watched this program let two-score leads on the road
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: evaporate in the fourth quarter. more times than any of
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: you want to remember. We've watched Miami be a kind
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of the kind of program that finds a way to
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: lose the unlosable game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: This team did not do that. They got sloppy. They
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: were banged up. They let a laugher get uncomfortable.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And then when it mattered the most, they went out
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and made the plays that were the difference in the game.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: That is a change.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Even last year, I, I probably you, you find a
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: way to win, but you know, it gets more uncomfortable
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: than it was. You know, it gets closer than 11.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: This team does deserve credit for that. Miami found its
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: way tonight. They're three and oh, they're getting production out
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: of the best quarterback play in the entire country. They've
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: got a defense that's showing you exactly what it's capable
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: of when the lights are the brightest, but this team still,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: as much as I'll give you the credit for that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: has to get better than it was tonight. Because tonight
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: was Wake Forest. South Bend is coming. And South Bend
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't care about your record. It only cares about how
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: you look when you show up out on that field.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Massive hat tip to Gio Lopez. I thought he was
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: great tonight. I thought there were a bunch of players
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: from Miami who played well in stretches too. But Miami
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: from two or three years ago probably finds a way
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to lose this game. Miami from tonight did not play
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: very well in long stretches of the game. and still
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: found a way to come out with the win. Let
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: me know your thoughts. I understand the injuries are a thing.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I've tried to make that abundantly clear. I'm not trying
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to be too hard on the Canes. Hey, you got
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to win by two touchdowns on the road. I don't
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: think Mario cares about covering the spread. I watched his
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: interview with SVP afterward. I think he knows that, hey,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of things to clean up. We're
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: not a finished product yet. We all crowned Miami after
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: their first two games. Tonight showed you that Maybe just
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: relax on it until we see it a little bit
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: more consistently in conference play. 2-0 in the conference, 3-0
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: in the season. You've got a cupcake next week. You've
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: got time to figure things out. You've got to get healthy.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You've got to get a little sharper. Miami will be
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: just fine. Love to hear your thoughts down in the comments.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Wish me safe travels on the way up to Tuscaloosa
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: and wish me some mental health help while I'm watching
• 18:42
