Between Bain, Mesidor, Moten and Scott, Miami has a ton of talent on defense.

It should be no surprise to anyone but along with TTU, my favourite defense in CFB this year. Of course Ohio state too.

Texas A&M might just be the most balanced team in CFB (other than Ohio State). They don't have a superstar unit but every single offensive and defensive unit is strong.

Keionte Scott in the 1st quarter. TFL and a sack fumble.

Hell yeah

What a great defensive/special teams matchup so far. Miami's special teams have come to play.

I had no idea. You hide it well.

Donta Simpson may be a guy to keep an eye on in years to come.

Don't you start Mr 'I want to have Ohio State's babies'.

I'd love to one day learn a run down of what college and NFL players do before games. They always show up at least 2-3 hours early. I know they have to get dressed and warm up, but that doesn't take all that long. What last second stuff is going on coaching wise and all that? I think it be interesting to see inside that.

I know players at times break off to do their own thing, but these must be some last day team things they go through.

If the pass comes out faster they have that fake punt. He was open for about a solid second.

 

[manxman2601]

Crownover and Zuhn are doing a good job against Bain/Mesidor. Howell pretty quiet too.

 

[BobDigital]

Lack of urgency from Miami is possibly going to cost them points. They let too much time go off the clock. Don't think they managed this right even though they are within range.

 

[mayoclinic]

Blown opportunity.

Best chances for Miami:

1. Bain or Mesidor strip sack for TD
2. Keionte Scott pick 6 or blitz for a safety or FF
3. Malachi Toney throws a TD pass to himself

 

[manxman2601]

I’m not sure Carson Beck is up to this level of game. Marcel Reed isn’t much better but he can put together big plays and a drive.

I really like a defensive matchup like this but some offense would be nice.

 

[manxman2601]

off topic. I think I've just discovered my new favourite sport

 

[manxman2601]

 

[manxman2601]

A better quarter for Mesidor there. Forced Reed into an intentional grounding and then a pressure flushes Reed leading to a Bain sack.

There have been around 75-100 players with a top-50 grade on some one's board. They can't all go top 50.
