Agree. It was clear targeting. Same ole Miami thugs. Some things never change.
I remember at the 86 Fiesta bowl game a Miami DL taking his helmet off and cracking John Shaeffer on top if his helmet. I saw it but the officials didn't. I couldn't believe it.
Let’s hope so! F’ Miami. Indiana wins I wanna see Cignetti chase down Michael Irvin and put belt to a** on him!
I don't think this IU team gets enough credit. The only prior team to go 16-0 to win the Div 1 NCAA Championship was the 1894 Yale Bulldogs. If they pull this out tonight, they deserve all the kudos in the world.
To be fair, how many teams had 16 games before?
Not gonna lie- I kinda hope Cignetti gets mad at some point during the game and throws a chair across the field.
He missed the opportunity with the non call on the targeting on Mendoza.Not gonna lie- I kinda hope Cignetti gets mad at some point during the game and throws a chair across the field.
I don't judge. There is no question I would have done things like that if I was a coach.Not gonna lie- I kinda hope Cignetti gets mad at some point during the game and throws a chair across the field.
True--I don't think this is the "most talented" team ever or even close but they get a ton of credit for what it seems like they're about to accomplish.
It's insane because they should have probably lost to us and Ohio State
Same here. I don’t know how coaches don’t go apesh^t sometimes at the refs.
They're bringing in AJ Harris to help with that next year5’9” 173 lb corner for Indiana.
4 teams have gone 15-0: 2018 Clemson, 2019 LSU, 2022 Georgia, 2023 Michigan (but don't count because they cheated). So it's possible 1 or 2 other teams might have won 16 games if given the opportunity. But 16-0 is rarified air.
I mean, every 12-0 or 13-0 team could have gone 16 if they played more games. Penn State's 94 team being one of them.
If the NCAA counts all 15 wins by Michigan why aren't we?
Miami really needed that FG though--I don't feel good about their chances at all. You're right--it's far from over but...it doesn't feel like Miami has a chance
And complaining like a Pittsburgh guy as well.
I think on the cheap shot on Mendoza, I would've called a TO and demanded the officials review that hit. That’s 15 yds and Miami is down a starter on D.
Correct. That was my point.
More/Many undefeated teams could have won 16 if the chance were given. IU’s success this year is impressive but the 16 game aspect is a bit of grade inflation.
On the other hand, how many times has a ‘college’ team had an average age of the starters being 23 years old?
Also a first down instead of a third they didn't make.
Correct--whether or not people want to admit it, Indiana bought a title--kudos to them for breaking the code and figure out how to spend Cuban's money wisely.
Why single out IU for NIL? Every team from last year going forward will have bought a title.
