🏈 GAME THREAD 🏈 The 2026 Bowl Games / CFB Playoffs: Indiana v. Miami

​

 

[Hardkore]

This might as well be an NFL game. I'll pop in a few times, but I split wood and burned my front bank today to rid myself of leaves, pine straw and duff ahead of landscaping. This, after a three-night guys weekend of shooting at CMP and then drinking/eating. I'm disinterested.

I just skip anything NFL. Haven’t really cared to watch it in God knows how long. However I will tune in for some UFL.

Is it just me or is the broadcast echoing echoing echoing?

Ok on my end (on the 4K broadcast).

 

[Crtuneman]

This looks like the dirty tricks Miami used to pull in the old days

 

[Secondand26]

Ok on my end (on the 4K broadcast).

Heard the booth audio echo on 2 different occasions. Regular ESPN broadcast

Wommack did a good job turning around the defense, but I still wouldn't label them elite. Miami and Indiana look elite.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Ok on my end (on the 4K broadcast).

ESPN is notoriously awful in production. I wish the broadcast would rotate like the NFL. I think CBS would put out a fantastic production for the national title.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Miami is getting physically man handled up front

 

[Bammerboy321]

Miami TD. Big run

 

[Bammerboy321]

Shanahan for IU is an excellent OC. Dude is doing a great job of getting his backs in space to attack Miami.

Grubb would have called a sweep double reverse flea flicker by now.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Indiana receivers not helping Mendoza out a lot. His ball placement has been good. That last pass should have been caught.

Defensive battle down in Miami

 

[Bammerboy321]

Indiana is so well coached.

 

[Bammerboy321]

TD Miami. Could be an interesting 4th quarter

 

[24and7]

Mendoza has gone cold..

 

[Bammerboy321]

4th and 5. Big call to go for it.

 

[Bammerboy321]

WHAT A CATCH

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good stand by the Miami D

 

[24and7]

Man the refs are blind with Miami..

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oh shit Miami is going for it again. 4th and 5. Not opting for the FG.

 

[Bammerboy321]

God oh mighty what a freaking call by Cig. 4th and 5 and opting not to take the FG. Mendoza with a tough ass run for the TD.

It was wide open the play before. I bet Shanahan saw it and "suggested" they go for it.
