Miami RedHawks football

So Arizona is going to try to sell out against the run game.

And I thought one team that did that pretty well was Miami, Ohio, two weeks ago.

Miami, Ohio built a 28-7 lead over Cincinnati.

In the first half, they were doing a pretty good job countering the run.

But in the second half, Cincinnati just got way too many breakaways and ended up winning the game.

But Miami held them to 137 yards on a 4.2 average, which is a massive win when you're facing a Cincinnati team with that much firepower up front.

You know, I look at what Cincinnati's done, and at this point in the season, we still don't know how good any of these teams are, right? Brett and I, our first segment, we think that Arizona has some talent, that they could be really good, but they just haven't quite shown it yet.

The question is, will they get there? And I imagine for Cincinnati, it's similar because you look at, I mean, I would say Kansas State's probably a better win than anything Arizona has right now, although maybe at Washington State might look pretty good by the end of the year.

They are.

They played better than anyone expected against Miami.

And then they go on the road to Louisville and win.

Like, this is a pretty good ACC team, Wake Forest.

Pitt has been stronger on defense than offense by a lot, as you mentioned.

The two P4 teams holding them to combine 34 points, and that's against powerhouses UCF and Syracuse.

Heichel looked great against Miami and Bucknell, right? But he was held to 10 of 23 against UCF for 123 yards, no touchdowns and a pick.

He ran for a touchdown and went 18 and 29 for 212 in the rain game.

And, and, you know, now Cincinnati has wins against a power four school, albeit a really, really poor one in Boston College.

They have a win over one of the better group five teams in Miami, Ohio, even though they, you know- Kevin, say the line

People forgive him.

People forgive him.

Yeah, 28-7 at the half

People forgive

... against Miami, and, you know, uh, I think that another thing that we kinda outlined, it's one of the oldest rivalries in college football apparently.

Like, those two teams have...

It's wide open.

Miami almost beat Kansas City.

Our buddy Jeff Halfley almost took out the Chiefs.

So again, you can't go with Tommy yet.

They're not going to get blown out like they did in Cincinnati.

I don't think...

Maybe Notre Dame and Miami, but that's about it.

The rest of the way, the Florida States, the Pits, the Syracuse, they're going to be in every game.

He's expected to have a chance to return to the game against JMU, but one to monitor going forward.

Miami of Ohio tight end Christian Ross missed week four.

And defensive back Tony Coleman Jr. also missed week four.

Missouri State.

And then I'll run through some differences between us and the consensus.

So after four weeks, we have Boise State at number one, New Mexico at number two, North Dakota State at number three, Tulsa at four, Memphis at five, JMU at six, Western Michigan at seven, UTSA at eight, nine comes in at Toledo, UMass at 10, South Florida at 11, Army at 12, Louisiana at 13, Troy at 14, Texas State at 15, Oregon State at 16, Colorado State 17, North Texas 18, Fresno State 19, Delaware at 20.

And to round out the top 25, we've got Miami coming in at 21, FAU at 22, UConn at 23, Navy at 24, and Jacksonville State at number 25.

I want to see in the comments what you guys think.

But for the OU fans that are going to fear that, or if they fear that, well, maybe they're not calling now, they're going to call in the future.

What does the Florida State job, the Clemson job, you know, maybe Miami's different because they're winning right now, so it probably looks the best.

But even Miami, if you want to throw North Carolina in there, I think they're a sleeping giant in football.

Whatever you want to say the best of the ACC are.

What are those jobs? Where do they sit as far as ranking against other jobs? Unless you have the inside info that Carolina's going to the Big Ten, Clemson's going to the SEC, unless you know that there are landing spots, no one's leaving.

How much shine came off K-State losing a game that they were favored by almost a touchdown at Cincinnati?

Yeah, a lot, a lot, for sure.

And Cincinnati, of course, just a week prior, had struggled and been down for most of the game against Miami, Ohio.

Central

lost pretty bad to Miami.

Oh,

is that who they played, Miami? Started

out in the lead, though.

It was 3-0.

You should lose that football game.

A UConn team that's 500 and just lost to a below 500 Miami team that had their backup quarterback.

And a 500 Tulane team that's also in the group of five.

that's such a loser mentality to have, especially for the guy that's coaching a school that literally trademarked anyone, anywhere, anytime, 30 years ago.
