00:11I do want to start with the Canes.
00:12I want to read you guys a tweet.
00:14This is from Gabby Uridia.
00:16He covers the Canes, and really he's a solid insider for 247 Sports in terms of recruiting news.
00:23But he tweeted out earlier this morning.
00:26He said, if I told you Mark Fletcher was going to run for 112 yards and two touchdowns.
00:31Malachi Toney was going to have over 110 yards and a touchdown.
00:36Miami would be the more explosive offense.
00:38Six and a half versus 4.4 yards per play over Indiana.
00:42Miami would have three sacks and six tackle for losses.
00:46IU with only one of each.
00:48Mendoza would only throw for under 200 yards, zero passing touchdowns.
00:53What would you have predicted the result of the game?
00:56And he finishes off the tweet with, frustrating that Miami handled business in every phase but one.
01:04Special teams.
01:05Special teams.
01:06You said it at the beginning of the show.
01:08I mean, you don't have to be a football savant to be able to pinpoint a moment in time last night
01:16that may have changed the outcome of a national championship game.
01:21It's a bitter pill to swallow.
01:23And I know every football player, everybody on the team will say the same thing.
01:27You know, there's no one moment.
01:28There's no one player.
01:30But we all watched it.
01:31And the Carter Davis missed field goal.
01:34You know, the doink.
01:35I'm like, you need every point that you can get against that team.
01:39But you're still in it at the end.
01:40And it's, you know, you've played long enough to know, like, mistakes are going to happen throughout a game.
01:47But if you can be in a position at the end to control your own destiny, that's what every team, basketball, football, hockey,
01:56that's what every team will tell you they want at the end.
02:00Let us be in the position to control our own destiny when it comes to the dub or the L.
02:06And they were in that position, just couldn't get it done.
02:10It's why in NFL, the quarterbacks make the most money.
02:13It's why now it's funny to say this, but in college, the quarterback makes the most money
02:16because those great quarterbacks are going to give you that one minute drive, get go, put seven on the board and win the game.
02:23But last night you saw 10 points taken off or put on the board, take it off the three and put on the board with the seven touchdown block punt.
02:33That cannot happen in a game.
02:36It's almost great that the Canes were still in the game after those two mishaps.
02:43It kind of shows you, that's what I kind of asked Gino, like I saw on Twitter and I heard people questioning, you know,
02:49Cristobal and those guys.
02:50I'm like, bro, they called a hell of a game.
02:53That damn number 87 needed to do his job on block or punt block.
02:57That's what it was.
02:58They're showing the, uh, the replays right now of all the punts that Miami got off earlier in the game.
03:04And they're going to cap it off here on ESPN two right now of the one that it's almost like he, like he almost waves him through like, like he's trying to get up.
03:19He's trying to get up to go make a tackle.
03:22Correct.
03:22Yeah.
03:22He's not considering that there might actually be a block because no one's coming to block the punt except a couple of guys.
03:28But they blocked numerous amount of punts this year.
03:30But he blocked the punt in the semifinals.
03:33They blocked the punt.
03:34Has he always been on a punt block though?
03:36Like on a formation where you're assuming they're coming?
03:39Like I think 87 got lulled into this sense of complacency of, oh, three guys are coming.
03:44There's no problem.
03:45He's going to get the punt off.
03:46Oof, he, he got some choice words out of me last night.
03:51I'm not going to lie to you.
03:53I think a lot of Cain's fans.
03:54I don't think we're the old one.
03:57I, I, I bring this up.
03:59I think it's newsworthy.
04:00So I think we should cover it.
04:02Uh, after the game, Mark Fletcher had a, a phenomenal game.
04:06There were two moments that were caught on camera.
04:09One, he was with Mendoza.
04:11They were, uh, exchanging pleasantries, hugging each other, congratulating each other.
04:17And then there was also a video of him throwing a punch at an Indiana Hoosier player.
04:22I don't know if either of you have a, a take on that one way or the other.
04:25We don't know what was said.
04:27Um, but you know, not the best look after the game from somebody who really was the MVP
04:32of the team throughout the CFP.
04:34He's a quality dude too.
04:35Something got said to him.
04:36Like he is a quality dude.
04:38I would, I don't know Mark Fletcher personally, but to, to Hawk's point, somebody says something
04:45disrespectful and Mark's not, he's not going to take the disrespect.
04:48He doesn't even strike me as a guy that's going to fight and try to get back on off the
04:52field from on the field.
04:54So yeah.
04:56Yeah.
04:56You, you, you called my mom something and now you need to be punched in the face.
