I get it, but I think that second half showed me, OK, we go to overtime. We still lose this game. We're not going to get the stop.
This is weird because I agree with you. It's not a good defense. But every counting metric that you could use outside of really deep analytics, yards per play, it's one of their better defenses. Historically, you've had defenses rank where they rank, and they are deemed championship level, especially with that offense. So they're... It depends on the opponent.

And I think once you get deeper into the college football playoff, you have teams that will pull like a Wake Forest. This is our identity. This is what we know how to do. We're going to challenge you in the A-gap.

We understand that you're bad at this in tape, but a lot of teams, they're just going to maintain their offensive identity because they see a bad defense that they don't really respect anyways. And that's where Miami actually thrives because you're playing more to Miami's strengths. If you focus on where Miami is weak, they have shown you the entire season. They can't stop it.

Dating back to the Virginia Tech game, where Virginia Tech was forcing them to make tackles in the flats. If you isolate their secondary and you try to make them make plays, they are not going to make plays. If you motion out the running back and Kiko Maunoa follows them into motion, it's an automatic chunk play. That's been the book always. all season long. It's what's going to cost them the CFP.

It's a damn shame because Miami is right there in terms of teams that deserve to be in this tournament. You can make an argument. Yeah, I'm with Lucy. I think ultimately she'll be right. Those... Those two SEC teams, either Alabama or SC, are probably going to get in. Then Miami, I'm sorry, you're like the 13th best team this year. They're only letting 12 in there.

It's a good season and a major disappointment because that offense, that quarterback, I believe in this year of parity, had a shot. Certainly, I would love to see them in the CFP. You're telling me Cam Ward goes to South Bend, Indiana? Bring it on. Let's see. I feel good about my chances because I like my quarterback, but they're not going to get that chance.

They're not going to win against this SEC propaganda machine, and they blew it. It was all there for them. They blew it.

Terrible! I think you can get on Mario about a lot. Ultimately, those concerns are always going to be there about Mario. I think he's done pretty well this season in addressing some of those time management issues that plagued him the first two years here. Ultimately, you want to build a program that has a talent advantage that it doesn't have to come down to those margins. Yeah.

Lucy's read on it is the read that I've gotten from NFL folks when I've asked, what do you do with Travis Hunter? Because from a salary cap point of view, Travis Hunter is going to be a very interesting case study. What position does he get drafted at? That changes his salary tier. The people in the NFL that I've spoken to say they would probably only play him at receiver.

And while Travis Hunter has counting numbers, he makes sensational, he certainly has a nose for the ball, you're not going to see on the highlight packages when he gets burned down the field for mistaken coverage.
