Cignetti's a great talent evaluator as a player, like personnel.

But he was able to go out and get these guys that did things perfectly and did things exactly as they were coached up to do.

Because I think if you go back and watch that game, I know Indiana made maybe a few more mistakes than we were used to seeing them make.

they make one or two more mistakes.

That game could have very long in Miami's favor.

And it's just all year.

It felt like Indiana played mistake-free football or close to it.

And when you get to this time of the year and, and as the talent kind of evens out a little bit and maybe Ohio state's not as deep as they were, Georgia's not as talented as they once were coaching is going to matter a lot.

And that's, I think one of the reasons that's my number one lesson, why Indiana won the title.

What's his name?

Well, I would like to say it was the first one, but it was the second one.

yeah i'm actually a little i'm on doug's side i'm actually a little bit higher even than doug i'm i'm at like 80 20. it should be 80 20 respects um to kind of regret because i think the regret comes from the fact that if you got back on the field with miami and indiana and you're an ohio state fan or an ohio state player coach or whatever

You're not afraid.

You're not looking at that team going, we're going to have to really play very well to beat these guys.

You're going to say, if we clean up our mistakes, I think we probably will win this game.

And I think that that's fairly reasonable, right?

Like, I don't think that that's an insane thing to say, but...

this is also the way that football works.

And like, it wasn't to me like, Oh, did Ohio state make every single possible play in the big 10 championship game against Indiana?

Absolutely not.
