I don't think we should be very concerned here's my 5 reasons
reason 1 we had to fly 3,000 miles
reason 2 cal had 2 weeks to prepare for us and they threw everything and the kitchen sink at us especially bc they had the gameday hype
reason 3 we have film to go back and fix
reason 4 we have a bye week this week which will help us fix some things
reason 5 our team is relentless and will do whatever to win
Agree 10,000 👍 🤝
Agreed 👍🏾
Stupid penalties-lack of proper tackling in the secondary (first man to ball carrier makes the tackle) Mario has a coaching crisis
Secondary needs to clean it up and defensively they've been pushed around a bit and out of position the past few weeks. Need to tighten that up the second half of this season.
I know we talk a lot about Cam Ward but I didn’t hear one mention about how much of an X factor Xavier Restrepo is mans is boutta have every record at the U
It's hilarious how the Canes are penalized more for winning then some " elite programs" are for losing. The VT game they just were awful tackling and Cams bonhead turnovers cost them what should've been a double digit win. Cal was just them out coaching in the first half and again Cam making boneheaded mistakes but the fact is with all the flaws the opponents can't take them out and Miami shouldnt be put down for that from everybody
Dont forget that phantom holding call on markel bell that cost us a td
Start off by throwing pass to other team for touch down. Receivers don't catch ball anyway.
If the refs don't keep bailing y'all out y'all should have lost two games in a row
@@kyleskeins8553 Miami 4th qtr penalties
O 13:40 1st & 10 Holding (1st & 20)
O 11:50 4th & 1 Illegal motion (4th & 6)
O 10:32 3rd & goal offense PI (3rd & 19 Goal)
D 9:22 3rd & 16 Face mask (1st & 10)
O 5:43 4th & 5 false start (4th & 10)
O 0:51 2nd & 5 unsportsmanlike (2nd & 20)
You need to blame Cal for not closing out the game and stop saying they were saved by the refs
@kyleskeins8553 🤣🤣🤣the refs aint never did miami any favors gtfoh... the refs calling that a td in the vt game to begin with was laughable at best, and the cal game please tell me how they had anything to do with cam leading a 25 point comeback. VT coach fucked them tryna be cute going for fake fg and cal choked. 🫢🫳🏾🫳🏾🫳🏾🫳🏾🙌🏾
People don’t realize there are less and less FBS teams that you “should” blow out. Talent is spreading out in CFB
Yep. The transfer portal and NIL has evened out the playing field more than ever before. To me, there's no clear cut powerhouse program this year. The playoffs will tell a lot about how much the portal and NIL has really spread out the talent level in the FBS.
Yes I’ve been noticing this too. Talent is not sitting in the usual spots like it did in the 90s. These other schools are slowly but surely catching up.
WHY DOESNT ANYBODY TRUST THE CANES FOR WINNING TIGHT BALL GAMES AGAINST UNRANKED OPPONENTS BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS TRUSTED WHEN THEY LOSE AGAINST UNRANKED TEAMS?
I swear!!! Alabama and Tennessee loss to unranked teams
Because you didn’t win. The refs won.
@@dwurgy.you’re right 25 points the refs can forsure do that
@@dwurgy.your delusional. We won period.
refs sure did give the u 25pts ( you stupid)
Maybe Miami should have lost to Vandy instead of beating Cal…
Well said bro, crazy how these narratives go
It's almost baffling when you try to make it make sense, a game where everyone put all the odds against us saying cal had the best defense, the timezone switch and playing at their house, yet we still won, but it doesn't count anymore because even tho all the odds were against us and we came back it didn't look good enough...but bama..Best believe they put on their best performance after to getting man handled by vandy, and "they would've won if they had more time😂😂....it's so redundant it's mind boggling...hurts my head
Only SEC teams can win close games and not be doubted.
Miami is ranked ahead of alabama though?
This comment is much needed
Alot of healthy players coming back. We will be better as we go. Also, we have Cam Ward and a good supporting cast so I believe we can beat anyone.
I mean I think we'll be fine. We're getting back two of our starting O-Lineman for the next game, who have been out. I believe we're also getting back Alston, one of our top defensive lineman who's been out most of the season, as well as now having Bain Jr. back who's a beast. I know there's a dark side to the bye week, but I think with what we've been through, a week for rest and getting mentally back on track will be super positive.
True. This is one of the first comments I’ve seen that hasn’t been in complete panic mode after the VT and Cal games, this bye week could be a lot more important than people are thinking
Seems to not address that teams play Miami above their heads and by the second half they are gassed. Then Miami with conditioning and depth, doesn't let up, as opponents lose momentum. Coming out hard to keep your fans from getting silenced or knowing that early is your chance to put Miami away, but how long can you actually keep that pace up.
It's our secondary missing assignments, and Dline is not setting the edge.
Exactly! I've re-watched video of their first game against Florida and the videos of their other games against USF and Vtech, and now Cal, and I'm trying to figure out WTH happened between how they played against Florida vs the other programs. And to be honest, Florida was the first team to expose Miami's weakness when they're running back busted out that run for more than 50 yards on the left side of the O-line. The safety bit and came up into hole too soon and over pursued the play and Florida's running back kicked it back out and ran up the sideline for the TD. There is a serious problem with containment and not allowing opposing players to get outside for big plays.
How is dline not setting the edge??? Please show where there’s been a big run to the outside besides the Florida game???
It’s the defensive coordinator with his horrible zone schemes giving up big plays. It can be fix if he serious about getting better as a defense
@@premo_in_miami7245 , Bro, the Vtech game was another prime example of Miami not setting the edge. Vtech's running back, Tuten, was absolutely killing Miami. He would fake inside and then side paddle it towards the outside and run up the sidelines. Hell, dude was also running up the middle as well and still killing them. If you go back and look at their games, especially their last 2 games, Miami has allowed almost 80 points to be scored on them and most of those have come from passes either across the middle towards the sideline or simple pop pass towards the sideline and the player then turns it up and runs it down field to the end zone. Miami's defensive problem is clearly blocking or not being able to shed the block, tackling, over pursuit, and not taking the right angles.
And a quarterback that can't stop turning the ball over.
Not concerned because it’s all correctable. All Cal scores came off guys not doing their job. Safety not rolling to coverage, LB not containing the edge and minor coaching issues.
True and I think the coaches will get a lot of our issues fixed over this bye week
💯@@enzomercy8639
This bi week is important for the Canes! 🙌🏼🔥
Somebody needs to explain why we had an mf 10:30 pm est game?
And no air conditioning in the locker room
It was primetime for Cal.
Yes there is a cause for concern. Defense gotta tighten up can’t keep depending on Cam Wards heroics…and for the love of god STOP THE PERSONAL FOUL!!
And Cam Ward has to stop throwing terrible turnovers.
@@dennislopez1272 that’s what you sign up for when going after Cam Ward in the portal. He gave up 9 fumbles last year at wazzu. He didn’t give up a fumble yet. He is carrying Miami on his back. INTs will come unfortunately.
@@Hero-lc6rr He has fumbled. Are you watching the same games I am? FYI, signing up for turnovers doesn't absolve him of criticism or blame, pal. Unless I can say, "we signed up for the defense giving up big plays."
@@dennislopez1272 it doesn’t but that’s the way it is when you pay over 1M.
@Hero-lc6rr Like I said, there's plenty of blame to go around for how they've played, and that includes him. Just like he played better in the 4th, the defense didn't give up a single point. Fair is fair, pal. BTW, that goes for the coaches, too. They can't continue getting out smarted in these games. You can get away with it for a bit until you play a team with comparable talent.
I understand all narratives. That's what makes this sport so great. All levels of football intellect make up the fans. Let's get in the lab. The U has an off week. Get healthy! Go Canes!
I’m confident we’ll get it fixed and start better. GO CANES!
Yes I’m concerned, BUT extremely pleased that despite playing Cal that had a bye , West coast, didn’t quit and came out of there with a W! Neither Alabama nor Tennessee can say that. 6-0 let’s go 🙌🏼
I don’t think we played that bad, I think we made some terrible decisions as far as play calling and had way too many penalties. That going for it on 4th down is what hurt us because they scored after that 4 and out. Sure we could’ve played better but honestly Miami needs a bye. We’ve got some beat up
Guys and hopefully we can bounce back come this Louisville game
Reason to be concerned about the last two games for Miami, they did not play up to their best. Reason to not be concerned, they did not play up to their best. If they can figure out how to put all 4 quarters together, watch out. But, that's the question that's still in the air.
Tackling needs to be better and the secondary as well as linebackers needs to follow their assignments better. Aside from that, they were still able to step up and hold VT and Cal on offense to let Cam do his thing late in the game. We should be talking more about Bama losing to Vandy and Ole Miss losing to Kentucky rather than worrying about Miami being able to come through in the second half and get it done regardless
Miami fans should be concerned about the porous defence.. They art not being coached properly.
No cause there is no other good defense on our schedule until we meet Clemson in the Acc championship game. Until then, teams gotta beat us in scoring! Go canes🙌🏾
Cuse Louisville and Florida st all gonna be issues for us
As long as we get healthy and keep winning
The transfer portal and NIL has evened out the playing field more than ever before. To me, there's no clear cut powerhouse program this year. The playoffs will tell a lot about how much the portal and NIL has really spread out the talent level in the FBS.
Our DB’s are our kyptonite.
We had a drama cycle w/Cormani and Jackson that we thought would be a solution given the incoming rating. If those kids maturity would’ve matched their talent Miami could’ve been better off than what we currently see. But at the end of the day we are two cycles back on DB when the rest of the team can be capable of winning now. Let’s see if this current cycle fixes that, hopefully Emory or Luke can lead the team to being a contender then.
Nobody acknowledges on these platforms that pass Miami teams don’t win games like that against cal or vt which both aren’t bad teams
Tennessee should be worried about losing to Arkansas. Bama should be worried about losing to vandy..these narratives are ridiculous
It has been 2 weeks in a row now for Miami, not the same tf you talkin bout lmfao
@@RenzaissanceTV two conference games buddy. Again Bama was in a 4th Q dog fight with usf, almost blew a huge lead at home, then lost to fucking vandy. Tennessee LOST..but the SEC brand gives us them benefit of the doubt smh..we count wins & losses.
LETS GO CANES!! Great content, JD!
Why would we be worried when we have the best offense in the country? Just win while everyone else is losing around us
APTTMH YAH 💯💪🔥
Cam helped us come back but he also put us in the situations. The first half of cal game and he wanted to stay in the pocket all night.
True, it was multiple times he could’ve just hit the check down and got a few yards instead of trying to get a big play and throwing it away or that pick
Solid assessment and analysis however when you say Cam is a Nat' Champ type QB and can be the edge for Miami it should also be noted that Miami was in those situations largely due to Cam's reckless decision making. Not simply the risky gunslinger type throws but also just terrible bone headed decisions.
If Cam can keep those errant decisions in check Miami will be a true wild card in the post season.
Canes are a team that the entire world loves to hate. Whether they are extremely bad or good teams make it their absolutely duty to beat them. Pulling out surprise blitz, trick plays, dirty plays you name it...
Eveey team has tried this against us because they dont teust their game plan against a team with so much septh and talent.
This by week is important for the Canes! 🙌🏼🔥
No..A win is a Win
The defense is a big concern. Especially the secondary.
Don't know who the secondary coach/coaches are for Miami but whomever he/they are they absolutely need to go! Sorry, but these cornerbacks and safeties are missing tackles and assignments to the point where it's embarrassing. They're messing up on basic football fundamentals which make me wonder how in the world did some of them earn a scholarship to play Division College Football because I've seen high school players play better than some of Miami's secondary players.
There is no excuse to be taking bad angles and missing tangles. There is no excuse for the same player/players to be missing assignments and blowing coverage week in and week out. If Miami does lose a game, it'll be against a team that not only can put up points against this secondary like Cal was able to do but a team that has just as much depth than Miami. Miami has been able to simply put, out last, the competition in the fourth quarter.
If you look at the Vtech and Cal game, those opposing team's players were gassed! Especially Cal's players. They had no more juice left in the tank to keep up with Miami's players because those teams were too busy trying to blow all their energy on putting Miami away in the first few quarters. Hence is why, if you'll notice, Miami has outscored they opponents 60 to 25 in the second half. Miami makes adjustments. That much, I will give you. However, other teams are still making those same passes and runs to the outside or across the middle even in the second half for big chunks of yardage but not as much as they did in the first half of the game.
Miami plays next against, Louisville, Florida State, Duke, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and Syracuse. I'm telling you right now, the only team that I see Miami having an assured win against would be against Florida State. Louisville can definitely play well against them and the game is in their stadium. Although the Duke game is at Miami, I'm sure Manny Diaz would love nothing better to do than to come back home and defeat them in their own stadium so he's going to have something up his sleeve. Trust me on that! Georgia Tech, same thing. All they're going to be thinking about is how they pulled off that miracle last minute past last season to win the game, so you know they'll be looking to also beat Miami. That game is at Georgia Tech also. Syracuse and Wake Forest are not going to be as easy as some may think.
These next 6 games for Miami by far will be the toughest challenges for them up to date and that's because these opposing teams know now how to attack Miami's defense which is through Miami's outside perimeter defense and their secondary. Finally, in order for Miami to make it to and through the first level of the playoffs, they have got to develop their running game. They cannot simply rely on Cam Ward to get them out of every situation. They have to figure out what needs to happen in order to get Martinez and Fletcher more involved. They also better get this secondary and linebacker core into shape because it's obvious they're having some serious growing pains right now in those departments.
Agreed
As a Hurricanes fan am very concerned particularly about our defense it seems that coaches & offenses have learned how to attack our defense & they've been very successful we can't stop the screen, we can't cover the slot receiver, & we have trouble with wheel routes running backs catching the ball we need Brown our big physical conerback back from injury because he's the guy who can cover the slot receiver but I didn't know when he's coming back
I’m fine with people thinking the Canes are frauds till that storm surge creeps up 😏
Im concerned about the defense as a whole... Dline, linebackers and dbs.. they better get it clicking on this bye week... We gotta make some dang stops..
Who care about a point spread Alabama probably was a 30 points favorite and gave up 40 Georgia was big favorite and won by 5
The 2001 Miami Hurricanes is considered by many as being the best college football team of all time. I'm definitely not saying 2024 is the same team because they are not. HOWEVER, that 2001 team kicked butt against every ranked team they faced (besides VT), but escaped in a dogfight against unranked Boston College.
Miami schedule is tougher than it looks to the outside eyes... My eye test see those teams being decent. Anyobe of those teams are capable of beating us on a good night
We kept composure every game and won, they just hate to see us win! 🙌🏽
Defense has got to control their aggressive play, the secondary. Go Canes Go 🌴🙌🏾🌴
I’ll be honest and say I want our team to come out playing well from start. We didn’t show the greatness we are capable of the beginning of the last 2 games. I’m hoping the guys reset, rest, train well and come into this game against Louisville determined, disciplined and effective.
This Miami team reminds me of 2022 TCU.
Not a concern if you Miami because their issues are self inflicted and they missing a few pieces like a key lineman and a db as well if they clean that up they can and got the team to win it
Our secondary has been exposed three games in a row. If they can tighten that up, we should be a legit contender for the natty.
What Miami has to realize is one slip up could cause everything to go south Smu has an easy acc schedule and so does clemson if they both win out and miami for some reason drops a game to gt or louisville even tho they will be 11-1 and make the playoff they won’t have that bye
Alabama just lost to Vanderbilt. Texas A&M beat the tar out of Missouri. Tennessee and their high-flying offense was grounded at Arkansas. Michigan got rolled by a Washington team that recently lost to Rutgers. A week ago, Ole Miss got shut down by Kentucky. Why is there always 'reason for concern' when Miami plays a few close games while nobody says shit when these other teams actually lose? You know who should have reason for concern? Oregon, as Dillion Gabriel has looked average, the Ducks have played nobody and Ohio State is headed to town this week. Same with Penn State going across the country to take on USC this week with the Buckeyes on deck in a few weeks. Miami's secondary needs to play better and the Canes have been vulnerable to the big play-guys out of position and screwing up. Bye week just came at there right time as key guys like Demari Brown were injured (Canes just got Reuben Bain back, as well) so they'll need to outshoot Louisville before welcoming a dog of a Florida State team to HardRock. From there, former coach Manny Diaz rolls south with Duke, road trip to Georgia Tech for a revenge game, Miami gets Wake Forest on senior day and a regular season finale at Syracuse, hopefully punching a ticket to the ACC title game. Either way, what is there to "worry" about. There are things to clean up so this staff will either get this defense on track, or it'll be on Cam Ward to keep getting it done on offense.
Tanks ❤
Miami will boat race Syracuse, it will be a fun day and they will probably put half a hundred on Syracuse…now at Louisville will be the very tricky game. Glad the Canes have 2 weeks to prepare, but Louisville is one of the few teams that can score with Miami and win a shootout. No one else on the schedule can win a shootout with Miami, Ga Tech will be a pain in 8:20 rs Miami defense, it’s the big plays, and G Tech is not that type of offense. Ga Tech will definitely be hard to beat, but unless the Canes turn it over multiple times, they will probably not score enough points to beat Miami. The Seminles, as you can see I purposely left the “o” out, because they don’t have an “O”. They can’t score enough points either, and Duke and Wake have a miniscule chance at beating Miami. I’ll never say zero chance because it’s college football and weird stuff happens, (Northern Illinois bests Notre Dame in Southern Bend) 😊
Honestly I don't like buy weeks. Historically they haven't helped us out. A little nervous about Louisville
Louisville definitely has a good offense but ours is much better and I’ll take our defense over Louisvilles to get a few stops
Miami should not be concerned, they will make the playoff with no wins against ranked teams and 1-2 losses because the ncaa wants to feign parity in conference quality
We shouldn't be talking about how you win in this day and age everyone has a roster loaded with transfer seniors so any team can lose to anyone every week. The transfer portal is a thing you know
We’re every team we play there championship game! Let’s get back to work!! 1-0 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Miami just came off an emotional game in v tech and pulled out a win.. Bama did same and lost to vandy. Miami is still undefeated and everything in the past is over. On to Louisville
It took team work
It’s all about the 🙌🏻.
I said it during the live that cal had a solid chance of winning and canes fans attacked me. Yet once again refs bailed out the U
I mean go ask Bama & Tennessee if they would rather take the L or the W🤭🫳🏿🫳🏿🫳🏿🙌🏿
Sounds like Florida State getting "left out" to me.
Just win baby. Just be 1-0 this week. Move to the next week.
Canes lose to Cal. Cal becomes ranked. Miami’s only loss is to ranked Cal. Is that better for you guys?
😂😂 Why can’t we enjoy the bye week
Should Alabama be concerned after LOSING TO VANDERBILT?
I couldn’t believe they didn’t call that target,every since gambling became legal you don’t know who too trust,these referees,certain schools getting beat by Vanderbilt,Arkansas,and still in the top ten,man money ruins good college football,
If Cam was hit by that "shoulder non helmet leading to head" hit that was not called targeting...would every scUM fan say that it was the right call? Cracker please!
Transfer portal is a thing bro every team is competitive now. oh and if im not mistaking didnt VT only lose to Vandy by 2? But miami hasnt played anyone. so by this stretch alabama is worse than miami bc bama lost to vandy. this is how ridiculous this talk is.
Everyone plays their Super Bowl against Miami
They should be worried the refs won't find a more interesting team to favor.
“If you play the way you played the week before…” blah blah blah. I think you’re the same person who said that before going into Cal game. There’s no reason for concern. At the end of the year we won’t be looking at how these games were one. It’s just going to say “W”. Y’all move the goalpost when it comes to Miami. And stop stating the obvious about Cam Ward saving us. DUH!! He’s the star QB. But did you see how the defense played second half? Restrepo? Come on man.. cut it out.
Leased Qb
After seeing both Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders play in person. Cam Ward is overrated.
🫢🫳🫳🫳🫳
Stop doing takes on MIAMI. Matter of fact stop doing football takes all together
😂😂😂😂
Miami is horrible. 2-3 loss season minimum
Your trolling is horrible. 23 IQ mimimum😂
Come on, even if they do lose a couple games, that doesn’t make them horrible. FSU at 1-5 is horrible.
Oregon almost lost to an FCS school. Miami would beat them
Almost lost back to back games and they were literally getting blown out by Cal in the first half. Cal was up 25 points when the second half started, and they’re not exactly a power house team. Cal dropped that game hard, and the ref’s not calling that targeting call just shows how bad ACC officiating is. Either way, if Miami plays a solid team that plays all four quarters then I think they will lose.
