INDIANA defense will be the easiest matchup for Miami offense all playoffs

Thats right, i said it.

Indiana plays 13 players on defense because they lack depth.  Indiana defensive linemen are all under 300lbs.

Texas am , osu, ole miss all had much bigger and talented players on the defensive line than indiana does.  Ole miss believe it or not has some huge and talented guys on that defensive line.

This will play right into miamis hands.  It is by far the smallest and weakest group of front 4 theyve played in these playoffs.  And thats not even a question.   Im not even going to entertain defending that position because its true.

Indiana has not faced a rushing attack like that in the playoffs.   Could argue all year.

Alabama = zero offensive line. Zero rbs.  Ran for negative rusbing yards vs georgia.

Oregon = all rbs were injured.  Forced to start a true freshman 3rd string with 20 snaps all year. Forced to switch over defensive players to rb for this game.  Even in that game that opening drive you were able to see them run the ball effectively. 

Miami has the most physical rushing and offensive attack indiana defenae has seen all year.  

Just some.food for thought for people who think this will be a blowout.

Okay so we are going to disregard indiana's win over Ohio State? That doesn't count right?

@AJ86

 We beat osu much more convincingly 

@Jerseyboy89

Oh so your a fan of Miami and are using your heart over your mind. Now it makes sense.

When you say you beat them much more convincingly you will need to elaborate. Because I don't see it. 

@AJ86

 Controlled the line of scrimmage much better.

Who do yoh think faced stiffer competition,  tamu kn the road, ohio state. And ole miss vs alabama and oregon?

Texas A&M were frauds.

Ohio State okay good win but so did Indiana.

And Ole Miss, you were controlling the line of scrimmage but needed a last second drive to win the game?

Also Oregon is better than A&M and Ole Miss and would be even to Ohio State. And saying that Indiana beat Oregon by a million

I'm not an indiana fan but if Miami can't get to Mendoza they are toast. He is making NFL calibre type throws. Oregon had a top 5 defense and he just shredded them.

Beck's football career is done after the National Championship game. He hasn't looked great in the playoffs at all. And maybe you will point to the Ole Miss game. Cool. Ole miss doesn't play defense.

@AJ86

 Oregon is not better than am.  And we went into kyle field and smacked them.

Oregon could barelt beat texas tech.  Did nothing on offense.

You call texas am frauds but make oregon seem not like frauds.  

Beck is playing terrific.

Indiana is going to get mauled to death.  Somethinf they havent seen.  Oregon and bama did not have a running game.

Oregon is 100 percent better than Texas A&M. 

Beck is playing terrific? Lets look at his stats between 2 teams that play defense (Ohio St, A&M). He was averaging 120 yards passing between the 2 games and 5.2 yards per pass. That's not terrific. But maybe you and I have different definitions of terrific.

That’s delusion bro…and a lack of respect for my Hoosiers…I know you are touting the case for your pic, but I don’t believe you are objective enough to see what Miami is going against…

@LonghornHoosier

There is nothing wrong with pulling for your team. But this guy is clearly gambling with his heart instead of his head. I haven't made a decision on what side (total or team) I am going to take, but his argument does not hold water.

This game is mainly going to come down to 1 thing. If Miami can get pressure on Mendoza. If they can, they will have a shot. If not, he will pick them apart. And no Beck is not on the same level as Mendoza. 

When "you" played them, they had been sitting on their asses for close to a month giggling about being an 11-point fave. Over confidence is destructive.

Becker is the X factor imo. He’s elevated the offense since the Penn st game. Not going to bet, I’ve never have seen my team here and I’m just going to soak it all in as a fan. Just been an insanely fun season. Win or lose the 19th, imma be happy for this season. HOO HOO HOOSIERS

kind of seems like indi is destined to win it all. i think it will be a pretty good game tho. the miami d is good enough to keep them in any game they play. if beck and the o don't screw things up, i could easily see a close game. the u doesn't really have a huge fan base, like a notre dame for instance. so i think that spread being so low says something. just my 2 cents, and i am wrong about half the time.

I don't care who wins but I think Cignetti from Indiana has a coaching edge on Miami's coach, Cristobal. He's created a culture of winning at Indiana but I'll take Miami +8.

@frankbullitt

 What book has the Cocanes +8

@hoopsvader

 8.5 at mine

This isn't even a conversation Cignetti > Cristobal all day everyday.

Yes , that’s why the games have been so close .

@AJ86

 Sometimes I wonder if some of these users here are book touts. Miami has never faced a defense like IU. 

Miami secondary isn't 100% healthy and will get worked.....but the biggest mismatch is Cignetti vs Cristobal.....the next biggest is penalties.....

Miami had a great run.....but by the 2nd quarter the writing will be on the wall.

Indiana 38 Miami 17

That's an awfully big check you're writing there friend. Got a feeling it's gonna bounce. 

@Jerseyboy89

 Have you seen who Miami and Beck have played at home in a recent form series( 15-22 combined 410 w% Teams..last 3 vs Indianas last 3 roadies .... 36-8 .810 w%

@TRAIN69

 Great POST Train...biggest Mismatch is Coaching..love Hoosiers easily winning by DD's..

Play alternate lines Cova Brothas
