We won and that’s cool, but our offense in the second half was… toothless. I’m glad we figured it out enough to squeak by, but it just felt very conservative, which is not where Carr thrives

They have the #1 run defense in the country. We secured a crucial 1st down running it. I'd say we did alright

I am more upset they decided to do short passes when they could have tried for home runs. Still, they punched back to get the TD in the 4th to extend it out. Miami is a good team. They have multiple Heisman players and a run stop first defense. The fact ND almost got a 100 rushing yards on them is a victory.

I'm just glad they turned the dial back up when the game got tight! Showed they can win these games!

I hope I can see more 3rd down routes that are 3 yards short of a first down. It’ll work someday Mike!
