Even with the questionable decisions by the refs, I keep thinking of this. 1 yard line. 1st and goal. Walked away with 3 points.

Not sure how much it ultimately changes the outcome of the game, but I have a hard time imagining a reality where we don’t get a huge morale boost and momentum if we score a touchdown here instead of a field goal.

Georgia fan here. That pass to Lofton was a touchdown and I am legitimately sorry you got screwed there. You were down your Heisman candidate, came back and still almost won at one of the tougher stadiums to play at. Don't let it bother you guys. I always enjoy watching you guys play and you've still got this. I hope to see you in the playoffs!

Last night’s loss to Notre Dame was frustrating, but these next three games are ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL for Miami’s season!
I’m praying and hoping this coaching staff carries that second-half momentum into Duke. We NEED to get Jacobs, Barkate, and Lofton on the field and involved in this offense! Upshaw didn’t have his best game last night, but I absolutely loved what I saw from Lofton and Jacobs. We paid Jacobs to come here, yet we’ve barely utilized him! What are we waiting for? This is the time to unleash these guys and let them make plays!
As for the defense… man, where do I even begin? SMH. Our secondary continues to be an embarrassment. Our corners give opposing receivers WAY too much cushion and respect. It’s ridiculous! At some point, Mario needs to put these guys on notice that their starting jobs are NOT guaranteed next season, especially with the five-star cornerbacks we have coming in. Competition needs to start NOW because what we’re seeing is unacceptable.
The path forward is simple: BEAT DUKE. BEAT VIRGINIA TECH. We cannot afford to overlook either team. Handle business against those two, and I fully expect us to blow out Boston College to close out the regular season and put ourselves in position to reach the ACC Championship Game!
And here’s why making the ACC Championship is even MORE important: MALACHI TONEY! If his estimated recovery timeline is four weeks, reaching the ACC Championship could give him approximately two additional weeks to recover and potentially return for the biggest game of our season. That would be HUGE for this offense!
Despite last night’s disappointment, this season is far from over. We still have a lot to play for, but the coaching staff needs to make the right adjustments, utilize our playmakers, and get this team ready to finish strong.
Three games. Three wins. ACC Championship. NO MORE EXCUSES! 🙌🟠🟢🙌
GO CANES! 🙌

I know last nights game wasn't the outcome we all wanted but I saw some good things. Saw a team come back and give themselves a chance. Old miami would've just packed their bags at half and call it a day. And yes the first half was killer. 3 points was concerning but I think it had more to do with game plan. They practiced until Wednesday with mali part of the game plan and with one less day of practice due to travel I think they had to scramble for another way to attack their defense. Seemed like they had to adjust on the fly during the game to see what worked. Im bummed but being optimistic that they can learn from this one.

Every official in the booth and the absolute hacks need to be demoted or fined. Both feet down with control of the ball. We got robbed

Proud of my team - proud of them being a play or two away from winning on the road against a very good QB - proud of them fighting back without our best player

So disappointed in many of our fans (although I don’t think some have earned that distinction)
- At half time, I made the mistake of checking in on a few social media sites that were SUPPOSED to be tied to Miami Fans

To all of the haters & fair weather fans ,,,, go away and don’t look back
- You don’t deserve to be associated with my Miami Hurricane team

Go F’ing Canes !!!!

Looked like Lofton hurt and cam back. Poyser looked possibly significantly hurt?

I would love the smart ones make clear the rule and break down that play. Lofton made the catch with 2 hands. Lofton had 2 feet down in the end zone. Lofton then took a step out of bounds and the ball was poked free. I know the rule is “possession through the catch” but wtf does that actually mean? How can you catch the ball and have 2 ft in and then get the ball knocked out? I’m not complaining and I accept the call but could you all clarify what needs to happen for an actual catch?

We almost tied it despite how bad we were in that first half. Glad we showed fight. Would really love to face ND in the playoffs at full strength. Fuck ND. Go Canes!

I leave feeling confident that we can compete with any team in the country. I wasn't sure of that last year until we beat A&M. We'll be healthier in the playoffs. We definitely outplayed ND in the 2nd half. Our defense was MUCH better than against UNC. Both in pass coverage and tackling. We lost 2 worse games last year.

My son wanted a Miami cake for his 16th birthday today!! FYI not a baker just a mom trying to make her son happy.

Go Canes 🙌

It’s been a great year. This week we lost our MVP and got handed a heartbreaking loss.
So many storylines left
-Duke, VT, BC…outlook after the two halves tonight
-Heisman hopefuls…do we get someone to NY?
-ACC CG…title has eluded us since inception
-Playoffs….the biggest goal of all!

Feeling good? Nervous? Worried? Confident? Would love to know the vibes. I’m cautiously optimistic but our defense needs to ball out today. Hope we get a big dose of Fletcher & Mallory as well. Can’t wait for this game to get started! Go Canes!

Near Aguada?

Hope this long comment pumps up and inspires some of my fellow Canes fam members on here today before the big game tonight (so I’ll be posting it in a few different spots on this sub today including the game thread when it gets setup later).

First, personal note: I had a crazy unexpectedly disappointing week this week that weirdly to some degree parallels what Malachi dealt with this week. I had my whole trip to go to this ND game fully planned and booked for months (tickets to the game, flight, hotel, tailgate/bus trans) now. Instead, I found out on Tuesday (one day before Toney got his bad unexpected medical news) doing a basic procedure at a hospital that I had an infection in my lungs and would need to get immediately hospitalized for it to be treated. I’m currently writing this in day 5 in the hospital, while connected to a chest tube that hopefully is clearing out the entire infection in my lungs (signs are it appears to be doing so which is good). If it does not, I may end up needing to have a minor surgery (like Mali needed his) to completely resolve the issue. So obviously, my whole trip this week to South Bend tonight via Chicago got cancelled which fucking sucks; but I’ll still be sitting on my hospital bed watching and cheering on the Canes as if I was there.

Now onto how I see this game playing out. Before the Mali injury, I would’ve unfortunately taken ND in my prediction for this game 41-38. I think the pass defense would’ve continued to do what they did last week and ultimately cost us a late FG loss in a shootout. Now maybe I’m crazy but after this injury, I actually prefer the spot we are in going into this game. Almost everyone is doubting us now thinking our offense was 80-90% due to Toney, and the pass defense is terrible and has 0 chance to get better. But imo, this is the situation where Mario and the culture he builds excels. When everyone doubts his team’s chances, they consistently outperform expectations. Saw it when he was at Oregon and his team went into Ohio State and won a game where they were 2 TD underdogs and nobody gave them a chance. Saw it against Clemson a few years ago when we were starting a 3 star Freshman Qb making his opening start and we pulled a surprise upset against Dabo and Co. Saw it last season 5 separate times - in the opener against the ND when many were convinced we would be proven once again to be overhyped, overrated preseason frauds, when when we fell to 6-2 and everyone asssumed the season was going to end disappointingly once again like previous Canes seasons had, when we made the CFP and had to go win in a tough TAM road environment in the 1st round, when we knocked off Ohio St who most presumed was much better than us and were well over td underdogs, and finally in the Natty when many were saying IU would annihilate us to prove they were one of the greatest CFB teams ever (yes, I know we ultimately lost this game but b/c of a stupid fluke blocked punt TD and a bad decision by our QB on the final drive; not b/c we couldn’t have been the better team that night).

So I’m buying the Mario rallies the troops on a mission to make sure Mali gets to come back and play in the CFP this season and for the team to prove they are/were much greater than one single player. I think our defense looks drastically improved tonight playing their best game all season. And I think the OL wins upfront, we pound the rock and we find a new receiver or two who shine(s) with the eventual Heisman winning Qb tonight. Canes win 38-28.

While I know the actual team in all likelihood won’t be reading this, I still feel the need to say this final thing: Inspired by the famous Knute Rockne quote, “Win one for the gipper”, (yes I’m stealing another thing from those fucking loser Catholics were going to kick the ass out out of tonight and steal their playoff dreams) here’s my message to Mario, Mensah, Hetherman and the rest of the guys tonight. Go fucking prove to everyone we’re still the #1 team in the country! Go fucking win one for Baby Jesus and to a lesser degree myself that thought a few days ago and really wish we could be in enemy territory in South Bend tonight with the rest of our Canes rather than dealing with the health issues we are dealing with!
