All right. What a flipping game. I mean, what a back and forth game. And we actually are not done yet, but we're, we're, we're gonna, we're gonna react live. With six seconds left to Ole Miss in Miami. The back and forth of the fourth quarter. Miami's dominated the game, but Trinidad just having the ball is always scary. Oh, my gosh. It was almost complete in the end zone. But Miami, the Hurricanes, or the first team to go to the national Championship, like, what an unbelievable. It just felt like an up and down roller coaster of a game. Like, I think Miami came out and did exactly what they wanted to do. Like Ole Miss won the toss, immediately takes the football, exactly what they should do. They, they, they get two, three and outs right away. Their defense looks really, really good. Very aggressive. Um, unbelievable job by kind of Stymie and them. And then the game just got unbelievable because Miami ends up running 88 plays to like 59 for Ole Miss. The time of possession was 41 to 19. Like, how does Ole Miss, how do they get in this football game? How do they have the lead late in this football game? I don't know, but there's one, there's one thing, and if I could go back and do it again, Trinidad fricking Chambliss, like, the dude absolutely made plays, kept his team around. And you know, we have all these questions, like, I had all these questions written down about Miami and Ole Miss and things that have to happen. Can Beck operate in his strengths? Can he make plays down the field? Carson Beck made a few plays down the field. Carson Beck did a good job buying time. Carson Beck goes, they go down. He gets the ball with seven, seven minutes left. They're down. He goes right down the field. Four plays, explosive plays, big plays. Gets the ball to Tony. They take the lead. Trinidad does the same exact thing. Trinidad goes nuclear again, gets hot, goes down the field with five minutes left and scores. And you're like, that's probably too much time. And Carson Beck gets it with three minutes left. And here's the thing. Carson Beck got the ball without a running game. The clock ticking down. He had to make plays and he made plays. He operated in his strength. They faked the screen. He worked all the way back across the progression, went to the left. They operate, they operated the clock really well. Great job by Crystal Ball and company. Their timeouts, they used one on defense that I would have saved. Two on defense one of the first half as well, but took almost all the clock and you needed to. Because if you give, if you give Trimidat Trinidad the ball late in that game with enough clock, he probably would have beat you. And if you told me Miami was going to do this offensively, like possess the ball for 41 minutes to 19 with Ole Miss, I thought they would have blown him out and they would have killed him. Ban and Mezador came into this game on a tear, right. Like we. We've talked about how good they've been and seven and a half sacks over 20 pressures. They were a non factor in this game. They were a non factor. There was late hits by Miami. Miami reverted back to what Miami did during the regular season. They averaged about eight penalties game. They had four total in the playoffs. They weren't beating themselves. My only. Miami only stopped themselves from. From scoring consistently. Like they could run the ball at will down. They could run the ball down Ole Miss's throat. They got a little bit cute at times. They had targeting, they had injuries to corners, to defensive tackles, to Mezador. Like everything was, was going on and was going nuts. But man, we talked about a lot of guys and we talked about how this had to come to fruition and basically Miami did it as a team. Miami's defense played really, really well to start the game and all the way really into the. Into the fourth quarter where they kind of started giving up some big plays. But unbelievable job by Miami. Doing what it takes, making plays, getting it done. Brent, get in here. Brett Rollins always joins us from on three from Pff. Man, that was. That was nuts. I'm like, Miami's got them right where they want them. Like 15 play drive in the first half, 17 play drive. Possessing the football, doing everything you wanted to do. But how about Ole Miss did it all year? Like they've done this all year, man, they just hang around and they take punches and they counter punch and come back. I know one thing, nobody should want Trinidad Chambers to come back. Like nobody playing against Ole Miss should.
