NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP THREAD – Game time!

[Sirhornsalot]

If Indiana can hold it together as a team, be technically sound and don't make mistakes – as they've done all year – They'll win. Indiana has a lot of seniors.

If Miam can make them one dimensional, and Beck has a good game, then the Canes win.

Should be an interesting game. Cinderella story? Or is the U back?

Lol why all the cigs?

Thought the criminals had to wear all bright orange uniforms. Go Indiana!

Indiana out-powering Miami. Also playing practically mistake-free.

Beck looks bad, needs to come around if Miami is to have a shot.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Miami not done yet. Scores to pull to within a FG. 17-14

What a run by Mendoza!

I hope Sark uses Bishop like Miami uses Toney. Just find creative ways to get him the ball.

He didnt do it with K. Robinson. He didnt do it with S. Bolden. He isnt doing it with Niblett. History isnt on Bishop's side.

Way to go Beck. You didn't even have to go to class, too.

So, a coach comes in and takes one of the worst programs in the NCAA and wins a championship in 2 years. I think that puts all other coaches on notice....including Sark.

He didnt do it with K. Robinson. He didnt do it with S. Bolden. He isnt doing it with Niblett. History isnt on Bishop's side.

I think he got what could be had from Robinson. Rrobinson ended up in the NFL. Bolden was limited by his small size. Niblettt has almost no lateral movement ability, yet Sark still found a way to make him productive.

Congratulations to Indiana. Great season. Great win.

My thoughts . . .

Indiana and Miami both played great games.

Indiana is a senior-laden team. It will be interesting to see what kind of team they are next year.

Miami is very good. They also had quite a few seniors. They'll have to replace a QB as will Indiana.

I have to wonder if Miami wins this game if Beck wasn't so shaky early.

Indiana was a team Miami could not physically dominate. And that was a difference in the game.

We all saw Cignetti smile. Ha!

That was a hell of a game. Congratulations to Indiana. A Cinderella story

That works for me. I’d prefer not to start out #1, but have the opportunity to play our way up to it.

This may be a bit premature.... but I'd put Cignetti up there with Nick Saban right now. He just went 16-0 defeating Penn St, Ohio St, Alabama, Oregon and Miami in the process.... each one of these seemed to have superior talent. Cignetti wins with physicality, precise fundamentals and he almost never loses the "penalty statistics."

I guess time will tell with regard to the Saban comparison, but this was one of the greatest coaching seasons I've ever seen. I hope Sark was paying attention - especially with regard to penalties.

That SEC Podcast projected Texas as the fourth best team in the SEC next season.
