How it's done

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Becker not draft eligible until 27 correct? I’ll put him down as a draft binkie.

I’m down for 20 YPC average. Does he drop anything in the handful that go his way each game? It also feels like nearly all contested and tough catches

 

[Brick27]

Wow thought they might let the Heisman winner make a sealing play vs. acknowledging the other team’s timeout and betting on not giving up a score

He has a 81% contested catch rate, zero drops and is as fast as Kyle Williams.

The drive of Carson Beck's life coming up.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

That false start was a killer.

I would’ve put that 3rd down in Mendoza’s hands instead of forcing Miami to burn their last TO.

 

[PlainOldEd]

I was against Miami already, seeing RL there reenforced that feeling

That’s really something. Maybe won’t matter. But the dagger was there

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Don’t like it. Too much time

 

[Brick27]

There’s the Beck that made Georgia groan last year

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Beck doesn’t have the arm talent to fit that one in.

Outstanding 2nd half. When you think about what happened to Alabama and Oregon, Miami deserves lots of credit.

Not much of a college fan but I enjoyed watching that. What a terrific game.

Beck probably played that last drive with a concussion after the RTP, hit is head right on the ground.

Miami played a B- game, and needed to play an A- game, that's what happens, especially in the first half. Dawson needs a new job. Credit to Indiana for sticking with it and coming out on top.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Indiana winning a natty in football is amazing. Now I want to see Nebraska win it in basketball.

 

[thecore762]

I’m happy for Indiana, they played to win with that gutsy 4th down call.

Too bad Mendoza won’t see anymore success once the Raiders pick him up lol.

Miami brought themselves back into it with those early defensive drives in the 2nd half. Bain and Mesidor were awesome.

Presumably this will become the most famous photo in Indiana
