00:00Football Playoff National Championship game presented by AT&T.
00:04It's welcome to Miami and the College Football Playoff National Championship.
00:09After a century of futility, the Miami Hurricanes Championship legacy has late.
00:13It was 100-1 on Selection Sunday.
00:16Sitting there with two losses, very few.
00:18James Madison, 60-something higher.
00:21Unbelievable job getting to the playoff last year at next level this year with the Big Ten Championship.
00:25Yeah, I think you could say safely that this is the best turnaround job we've seen in the history of college football.
00:30He inherited a really tough rebuilding job.
00:32And, Kirk, I think he has grown so much as a coach, even in the last few months.
00:36Yeah, I mean, everybody is so—you look at him, you think about offensive linemen, right?
00:39He played offensive line. He coaches offensive line.
00:41What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
00:51Whose broad stripes and brights of the brave, the brave.
01:05Staffs at Alabama, each was the recruiting coordinator for Saban.
01:11It did not overlap, however.
01:12It did not overlap, however.
01:42Long-distance field goals that Cignetti elects to try tonight.
01:46Well, check that.
01:47He boots it to the one-yard line and a chance for a return.
01:50And Marion breaks through one tackle.
01:53He stopped at about the 27-yard line.
01:57And not make mistakes.
01:58On the other side, Aiden Fisher, the middle linebacker,
02:00who calls out often opponents' plays as he tries to use his film study.
02:06And Fletcher gets the first hand up.
02:07And Fletcher off the left side, barrels forward, picks up about nine.
02:11And that's what the Canes have been doing to opponents in the CFP.
02:14Into the interior.
02:15Gave him some room to bounce it.
02:17He puts Fletcher over 400 yards so far in the CFP.
02:221,000-yard rusher on the season.
02:242nd and 1.
02:27They pitch it to the perimeter.
02:28Malachi Toney gets the block.
02:30And the speedster, the 18-year-old true freshman.
02:33From right in this area, has to have a big night in coverage.
02:37He had that pick-six to electrify the start to that victory.
02:41Fletcher off the right side brought down by Pons, who's from here in Miami.
02:45These impact players are all over the field.
02:47Good job there by Pons.
02:48Here's our fourth.
02:49Third level are on the football for turnovers.
02:52Dawson said how he calls these second down plays is crucial.
02:55The boy goes third and long.
02:57Beck looking to throw.
02:58Has plenty of time.
02:59Retreating and fires it into the bench.
03:01Nobody open.
03:02Good coverage by the Hoosiers.
03:04And it will be a third and long.
03:06Third down.
03:07He was very efficient throwing the football on third down at Ole Miss,
03:11especially in the game-winning drive.
03:12Tony's in the backfield and slips out.
03:17He's got the football, but not enough for a fourth down.
03:20Tackled immediately.
03:21A lot of Hoosier eyes on number 10.
03:24Hoosiers hope they can have a special team to edge tonight.
03:26They blocked seven punts in the two years that Signetti has been there.
03:29Three of them this year, including one against Oregon.
03:32Dylan Joyce gets it away.
03:34Jonathan Brady retreats and makes a fair catch, but inside the five-yard line.
03:38So a brief drive for the Canes has tried to get Mendoza in a more obvious passing situation.
03:46Roman Hemby is the back.
03:47Lined up to Mendoza's right in the end zone.
03:50A fake it to him.
03:51Pitch to the edge.
03:52And the catch is made by Omar Cooper Jr., who slips a tackle and is going to be shoved out of bounds.
03:58First down.
03:58And Keontae Scott, really one of the players who really embodies this Miami defense, the heart and soul at the nickel.
04:07And there's a handoff running right.
04:08Hemby knocked down.
04:10Tackling is going to be so important.
04:11It always is, but against teams that are very successful running after the catch.
04:16Miami missed one in that opening.
04:17But now becoming a real strength, one of the top defenses in the country.
04:21He worked for Signetti.
04:22James Madison had even dead.
04:24Mendoza checks it down.
04:25This is Hemby shoved out aggressively and immediately by Mo Torre, who's not afraid to bring the wood.
04:33Deanna Elite at third and long.
04:34Best third down offense in the country.
04:37But they convert these kind of situations better than anybody.
04:41Haynes brings some pressure.
04:43Mendoza on the move.
04:44Scanning takes down.
04:46And a desperation heave into the bench as the pass rush makes a quick impact.
04:50That was Marquise Lightfoot.
04:52That series worked to perfection for the Canes D.
04:55Didn't have a lot of sacks against Shambles, but they did provide just enough pressure.
04:59Mitch McCarthy to punt at Malachi.
05:01Tony on the receiving end of a line drive punt.
05:04Driven back has it at the 32.
05:06Tony just needs a little space.
05:08A flag comes in on the return.
05:11Miami figures to lose.
05:13He was undefeated one year until he lost to the SEC Championship.
05:17Last year he had some great moments as well.
05:19So he is, it's not like he came in here struggling.
05:22Guy is a winner.
05:24And again, he's going to have to play well tonight.
05:27But you're off the right side.
05:29They're more successful running to the right behind Inez Cooper and big Francis Marinoa.
05:34Yeah, that's their strong.
05:35You get four in first down.
05:36And ones like that are going to be important really for both sides.
05:40Line of scrimmage is Miami's formula to win this game.
05:42They'll take four in first down.
05:45But you're again.
05:46And then it's so good at penetrating the backfield.
05:49That's big Mario Landino who was a tremendous player against Oregon.
05:54Forced a couple of fumbles.
05:55And with his force and strength able to get by him.
05:58On third and five.
06:01Tony lined up.
06:03Behind the tight end of the left side.
06:06Elon Marion comes in motion.
06:08Beck has plenty of time again.
06:09Across the middle and the traffic gets broken up.
06:11Stepping in to get a hand on it was Lewis Moore.
06:15The sixth year senior.
06:16Drive down and make a great play there on that third down.
06:19Moore in his seventh year experience.
06:21Got there just in the nick of time.
06:23So Dylan Joyce as Brady awaits.
06:27High boot.
06:28Bear catch way forward this time.
06:30Indiana will start at the 29.
06:32Much better field position.
06:33Is he here scouting these quarterbacks?
06:37Yeah.
06:38Mark Davis is here as well.
06:39So it would not be surprised at all.
06:44Mendoza straight back.
06:46Flushed a bit.
06:47Pressured.
06:48Retreating.
06:49Flag comes out as he heaves it on the sidelines.
06:52In the country.
06:52ACC Defensive Player of the Year is Reuben Bain.
06:56Not the game plan for him.
06:58See what the Hoosiers do to adjust.
07:00Quick throw across the middle.
07:01Catch made and running after it is Cooper.
07:03Cooper breaking tackles out across the 45 yards after the catch.
07:11It's the first down yardage after that sack.
07:14Trouble spot tonight for the Canes with shorthanded
07:17and already a couple missed tackles by that secondary.
07:19This is Halon Black falling forward
07:22as these Hoosier tailbacks always seem to do on near midfield.
07:26Yeah, I mean, again, they're a team that's wrecks for yards.
07:29They just want to stay on schedule.
07:31Black touchdowns in each of the two playoff games so far.
07:35And there's a misfire.
07:36And 674, the right guard, Bray Lange.
07:39Looks like to me he may have moved early.
07:41What is that?
07:41Fits fewest penalty, penalized team in the country.
07:45I like that.
07:45Virus is to get machine-like.
07:47There's one word that has been used to describe Indiana.
07:49There's a pitch to the edge.
07:53That's Sarat with a stiff arm there on Ethan O'Connor.
07:58And he's going to have first down yardage.
08:01Again, this is what's been a good job of recognizing soft coverage.
08:04Get that ball out.
08:05Again, first down.
08:07Sarat, touch a weapon.
08:08An FBS leader with 15 touchdown receptions.
08:10This is Hemby.
08:11Quick burst up the middle.
08:13And the former Maryland Terrapin falls forward.
08:17Leslie Besaint made the stop, picked up three.
08:18How much fun has it been to watch these two backs in the college football playoff?
08:26Trainers taking a look at him.
08:31Second and seven.
08:32Pocket closing in.
08:33But Mendoza stands and delivers.
08:36It's another first down strike for the Hoosiers inside the 35.
08:41Nine-yard gain by Riley Nowakowski, the gritty tight end.
08:44And no, no.
08:45Looking good.
08:46Moving his ball down the field.
08:48Five of six start for Mendoza.
08:53Blainfake.
08:53Pitch to the edge.
08:54Sarat, again, easy access in front of OJ Frederic, who's returned, he says, healthy tonight.
09:01But we'll keep a close eye on him.
09:03With Charlie Becker and Omar Cooper and company.
09:05Empty backfield first time tonight.
09:07Five receivers for Mendoza.
09:09Pressure off the edge.
09:10He got hammered on the blind side.
09:12The pass is incomplete.
09:13That was Torre on the blitz.
09:15Maybe keep it back in the backfield if you're Indiana tonight.
09:17Yeah, you got five up there.
09:19These guys have to see it post-snap.
09:21That time they fooled Mendoza completely.
09:24Torre described his style.
09:25Kirk is fast and violent.
09:26He would fit that play.
09:28On third down, trying to run for him with Black.
09:30And Black burst for a first down.
09:32As the Hoosiers are in the red zone after a seven-yard third down run.
09:36As a backer, oh, a running back.
09:39He always runs with tremendous passion and almost anger when he runs the football.
09:46Defeated to him again.
09:47Stutter step.
09:48Knocked down after a short game by Keontae Scott.
09:51Defined safety for the Hurricanes.
09:53You see Jacoby Thomas coming down.
09:55They've been hearing out of faith.
09:56He's not defenseless, but at the same time, that hit was totally unnecessary and could have easily been a foul.
10:03And a bunch of those kinds of penalties against Ole Miss.
10:06Played right there on the edge, but that was certainly over the line.
10:09Yeah, it sure was.
10:10And then he comes right back.
10:11He has a take with Mendoza.
10:12It doesn't really blink.
10:13Doesn't let the last play.
10:15Of this long Hoosier drive.
10:19Miami's showing some pressure.
10:21They bring it.
10:23Pitch to the end zone.
10:24Red zone and fought for it incomplete.
10:27Well defended.
10:29That was OJ Frederique on Charlie Becker as their top red zone weapon down there.
10:34Automatic from 34 yards.
10:37Indiana.
10:38The quarterback bleeding a little bit.
10:41Draws first blood in this game.
10:43The Hoosiers.
10:4412 play drive.
10:45On top.
10:45Late first.
10:46About that and up with Bill.
10:48I'm surprised we didn't see a flag come down.
10:50But I think carrying out the fake.
10:53You know, quarterback is in play.
10:56Maybe they held the flag because of that.
10:58Dillon Marion.
10:59Kickoff return out across the 25.
11:03So Miami trying to get the offense going.
11:063-0.
11:06Back looking to throw in first down.
11:15Loops here.
11:16And it's tipped and incomplete.
11:18Hoosier do such a good job of getting hands on passes.
11:21That was Roe Hardy drifting back because he tried to find bounce job of getting up to knock it away.
11:26And then Moore did a nice job of dislodging the ball from Bowman.
11:29So 2nd and 10.
11:33Beck zips it for our sideline again.
11:36Pass broken up by D'Angelo Pons.
11:38Closely covering C.J. Daniels.
11:41You see why this guy is...
11:42He needs to be able to knock that ball away.
11:44That's perfect.
11:45Look at the difference between the way the corners on these two teams are playing it so far tonight.
11:49Hoosiers all over Miami receivers.
11:52Conceding nothing.
11:543rd and long.
11:54Pressure comes.
11:55Beck's going to be racked up and sacked by Aiden Fisher.
11:58Fletcher, the captain, an emotional leader of this Indiana defense.
12:02Defense.
12:03You're right.
12:03They count on Fletcher.
12:05Not his best effort there.
12:06And the Canes' second consecutive 3-and-out.
12:09A little pressure on Dillon Joyce, the punter.
12:11And it's off the side of his foot, but takes a good bounce for Miami.
12:15And we'll finally be down at the Indiana 27-yard line.
12:19Three straight passes.
12:21It's not the formula or the recipe they're looking for tonight against the IU defense.
12:28Embiid running loud.
12:32He'll be dragged down behind the line of scrimmage.
12:35Reuben Bain, not just a pass rusher.
12:37He's a beast defending the run on the end.
12:39He's having a monster year this year for the Canes.
12:42Six-yard loss on first down.
12:44He had it right off into the teeth.
12:49And that's big Ahmad Moten wrapping up Embi.
12:53After a one-yard gain, third and very long now.
12:55Well, you get so caught up with Mesidor and Bain on the outside.
12:58It's knowing you the quickness and the difference makers they have up front.
13:01So the Pro Football Hall of Famer who coaches these defensive linemen.
13:06You've got a speed rush package in here.
13:08Bain, Mesidor, Lightfoot and Blunt.
13:10And it's a screen.
13:12Long way to go for Embi.
13:13He's going to be knocked down for the pass rush.
13:16And the play by Bain in the first down run.
13:18Arthi rolls and boots it.
13:25And Tony has a chance here.
13:28And he slips as he tries to make a cut.
13:30Did he go down?
13:32Tony's still running.
13:34Incredible balance.
13:35If he did stay up there, it looked like he was going to head to the ground as he slipped.
13:38Mick to seven in the first half.
13:41Miami's got to feel pretty good into the first quarter.
13:43Down three-nothing.
13:44I think they've got to get back to that run game.
13:48And they do hand it off on first down.
13:50You know, Shannon Dawson told us he's impatient by nature.
13:53Opponents know it.
13:54He doesn't have that ability, but they much prefer to run the ball.
13:58When he was a little tempo, he said tonight.
14:00This is a pitch to Daniels and the veteran, former LSU player.
14:04Tackled quickly by Lewis Moore.
14:06Seven-yard gain sets up third and two now.
14:08Nice job by two things.
14:09Offensive line to get back enough time.
14:11And the 0-4 so far on third down, Kirk.
14:13There's that quick huddle you're talking about.
14:15Marty Brown tests the middle and is pushed right back.
14:21Gets nothing into the teeth of the Hoosiers.
14:23In Miami, if they can't succeed on plays like that, it's going to be a long night.
14:27Macau Kamara made the play.
14:29And even with that quick huddle, nobody's surprised from Indiana.
14:32Indiana's defense so good at setting the tone in these first halves of the game.
14:39How dominant they are.
14:40They put the offense in great position.
14:42And they've done so again here.
14:45Three consecutive three and outs for Miami.
