2025-26 Championship: Indiana vs Miami

[orangepassion]

Carson Beck used to play this moment out in his backyard as a young boy 30 years ago.

Back when he was still in college and went to class

Was anyone else scared of a possible safety at the end ? Lol I know I was

Cuse 1000 to 1 to win it next year if you want to get your wagers down now.

*IU I think haha

I think that was autocorrect on my phone.* I've been correcting it all night.

* My son-in-law is a die hard Oklahoma fan so my phone "knows" to type OU.

 

[sufan59]

I think Miami has better players, I know OU has better coaches.

For sure better coaches on IU

 

[Cusefan69]

I'll tell ya, the Indiana WR Becker made two absolutely hugely clutch catches in the last 8 minutes. I mean absolutely clutch.

Honestly laughing that the refs threw the flag on Indiana after the Int. Come on, they basically just won the NC, and you think they got too excited there? But earlier targeting was ok, and numerous holds?

 

[bpo57]

Btw, Miami has some beasts.

They played so well even with Beck as the qb and Christobal as HC.

That OL, Bain, Mesidor, Fletcher, etc.

No doubt and thankfully most of them played their last college game tonight.

I actually would. I would put $10 bucks on them and not give it a second thought. Maybe even $100

I think he had to because the Indiana player took off his helmet while on the field.

FanDuel will take it now

 

[CanadianSU]

For sure better coaches on IU

Although despite the win didn’t think that was a masterclass of in game coaching from Cignetti

Crossed my mind, but only 2 points and would have been 10 seconds left at most. Beck have thrown another pick.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Was it just me missing the handshake, or did Beck walk off without congratulating Mendoza?

 

[wiseman3]

The question is could he have done this at Syracuse?

Yes

 

[qdawgg]

Liking IU’s odds here. They’re draining the clock with the run.

“Draining the clock” seemed appropriate at the spot in the thread you posted that.

Quick one. Oops I thought you were talking about Cignetti and Cristobal

 

[JDubbin]

Indiana DB almost blowing out his knee while trying to kneel was a little surprise as well. Like the pressure just got to him all at once

I mean it wasn’t clean and pretty, but he made the call on the difference maker on the Mendoza run.

It was a Cristobal master class in poor in game coaching. Miami has succeeded in spite of him, even staying in this game.

How about going for it down by the goal line on 4th down?

 

[orangepassion]

I dont think its an exaggeration that Indiana hiring Cignetti is the best hire in college football history. What he's done there is truly incredible. If Indiana can do it, then why not Syracuse

Indeed. One heck of a coach regardless.

 

[PeteCalvin]

And make no mistake. This was karma for the Mensah poach.
