Wound’s still fresh, dust still settling. Tons of credit to Miami for being prepared. The thing that stood out to me wasn’t even Xs-and-Os related, it was the overall team morale and dynamic. Cristobal was hyping those guys up, they were all cheering on big plays, sideline was going nuts. Reminded me of last year’s natty team, and a bit of the camaraderie I saw from Indiana as well. Bucks just did not have that edge this year.

That said, I’m not sure if this Miami team has what it takes to go all the way. They absolutely dominated OSU’s weak O-line, but a team with better pass-rush protection can lessen the impact of their star pass rushers. They didn’t move the ball particularly well. If Georgia gets past Ole Miss I think UGA is built to take Miami down (or at least better suited than OSU was).

How far do you think they go?
