00:00When you look at Carson Beck, yes, he was, you know, with the football in the final minute and a half of the matchup.
00:07He was across midfield.
00:08He was within striking distance, makes a bad read, throws a flat football.
00:13But not only that, though, Coach, I feel like the game plan out of Miami was a little complacent.
00:19They were playing a little bit more rope-a-dope.
00:22They were playing not to lose as opposed to attacking and being aggressive to try and take the game away from Indiana.
00:29Do you agree as well when you watch that game plan on Monday night?
00:34Well, yeah, I mean, they did get behind by 10 and had to catch up.
00:37But that has been the book on Cristobal all year, on the head coach at Miami.
00:45It's been his thing.
00:47He's kind of conservative.
00:48He wants to run the football.
00:49He wants to control that.
00:51This is a game where he had to open it up, and he's still playing close to the vest.
00:55I think that's what he's gone with as he's gotten more success at the end of the year.
00:59But I think if he can open up and continue to open up his offense, when you think about the great Miami teams that they're trying to get back to,
01:09the five national championships during the 80s and the 90s up until 2000, what, three or four,
01:15it was about explosive offense and bone-crunching defense.
01:19It's both sides of the football.
01:21So I think as he develops as a head coach, I think he has.
01:25He's not making the mistakes.
01:26They had penalties down, third downs they didn't need to have, and they were a little bit close to the vest.
01:32But I think as he grows as a head football coach, that's the area he's got to continue to grow.
01:38Yeah, Coach, again, you know, when you think about Miami as well, outside of Malachi Tony,
01:44I mean, Mark Fletcher's a really good back, and Malachi Tony, one of the best, you know, explosive young wide receivers.
01:50I still feel, you know, Miami didn't have that swag that they used to, right?
01:55To your point, you think Miami, you think Mike Irving, you think Lamar Thomas, right?
02:01They didn't have Santana Moss.
02:03Where was the speed on the perimeter to really, I mean, to really challenge Indiana?
02:09I think that's the biggest change when we look at this Miami team.
02:12Yes, defense, running the football, conservative ball control attack, but that explosiveness needs to come back next year and beyond.
02:22Tall, lanky receivers.
02:24I mean, it goes so many of them that they've had throughout the years at Miami, and the quarterback that get him the ball,
02:30I think that's where they need to look to expand their football team and their talent.
02:35So, more explosiveness on offense, and go continue to build that offensive line and defense,
02:41and they'll be back in the hunt next year.
