    Cordero is a monster, but if he hadn’t doinked one Ole Miss should have been able to tie the game and go into overtime.

    I agree. Beck was picking them apart. They needed to put some pressure on him.

    They were both holding each other. The Miami defender was in the better position and was looking back at the ball. I say a good no call.

    On becks touchdown, there was a totally unnecessary block in the back.

    Why would Ole Miss rush only three against a QB known for making mistakes under pressure & a team that clearly wanted to run & control the clock to limit the opposition possessions?

    I am actually kind of excited for a Miami national championship game. Win or lose, there will be fights and brawls at Hard Rock (just like after their loss to Louisville) and will remind everyone why Miami is bad for CFB

    Could not cover that WR slant across the middle and UM blocked it well; OM never adjusted to it and got gashed my UM running game. Miami needs to get beat in champ game!

    On the Hail Mary, the Miami DB had his hands all over the OM receivers face mask; he absolutely got mugged like in a barroom brawl.

    Yea, but they almost never call PI on a game ending hail mary. I dont ever recall it being called and there often is some kind of mugging/contact.

    Officials probably budget in a Hail Mary as being a mosh pit.

    Many times that extra yardage is for lack of good tackling, as it was last night.

    There was a lot of holding by T and TE allowing Fletcherto get to the boundary.

    Terrible crooked officiating decides yet another game. The Miami DB had his back to the ball the whole way. Slam dunk pass interference — not called. And the beat goes on….

    Seeing the box score this morning left me disappointed. I hope whoever faces scUM in the championship lays down an absolute behind the woodshed beating. I want the entire scUM fanbase to suffer a generational trauma.

    The argument is the receiver was actually running a route - and it wasn't a hail mary where you just send a bunch of players in the end zone hoping one gets the ball.

    Just passing along what I heard said.

    Any time Miami wins the flag should be flown at half mast. Their coach, while he seems good, is a complete and total hasshole angry &&)(^=!

    Anyway, in other news, we're compiling quite the load of players and not done yet. Let's hope next years team in a real nice surprise.

    Go Hoosiers!

    Go Gators.
