Cristobal talks Ball State game, Robby Washington to CB: “We believe he will be an elite corner”

[DMoney]

Miami is on to Ball State. Mario Cristobal made that point clear, even as he praised several players for their performances against FAMU. Below is a summary of Coach Cristobal's weekly press conference:

On the FAMU win: We got to play a really good team this past Saturday. Coach Colzie and those guys do a really good job. We started fast and got in an offensive rut there for a bit and then snapped out of it. We responded well and had a chance to play some better football. We played a...

Sooooo....with that cryptic "prior agreements" comment, does that mean Mario is redshirting Emory?

So Washington to corner is finally happening? Good. I’d hate to see him buried on the bench at WR.

Almost like there was a qb last year that everyone got emotional over not seeing in games… and assumed it was because Mario wanted to hurt his feelings. Or something.

I am glad he is redshirting Williams. I think Williams has a chance to be a two year starter and play really well. He's a gamer. I know some here think he doesn't have a strong arm, but he made some pretty nice throws last year. Yes, that means he is a starter of Luke Nickle.

I am still smiling from the Florida win. It's nice to not only have the talent we have, but the mental make up to go along with it. I am super pumped about Washington going to CB. He can be a lock down type of player.

Bobby Washington seems to have been passed up by multiple true freshman LBers.

I still think he goes on to have a solid career but it’s looking like that probably won’t be here.

Hope he stays and is able to transition into a good CB

Is robby gonna be outside or nickel?

Also mario sounds the best i have heard him since he’s been here, looks and sounds more focused. Like he’s comfortable with his surroundings now

Guidry said they’re playing him at both buy he’s gotta a long way to go as he was just moved there. Guidry said he’s a smart kid, an athlete and is picking it up fast but obviously hasn’t been through the training camps so he’s still gotta a lot to learn.

Yup. And it's a trickle down effect. Coordinators sound more confident and sure. The players are more focused and confident as well.

This happens when you get your guys in there and you land the best transfer portal QB

Love Robby at CB

Not even a TE . Maybe a towel boy

this morning I looked it up and ball state and Northern Illinois have comparable talent based on the 247 composite index. just something to think about.

Ball State beat them last year.

Funny thing is, his younger brother Matayo was actually a very good TE in HS. Was even recruited by USC to play TE.

But he's fully transitioned to being a DE at Oregon.

Robby's move to CB may signify that Brown might be out a while.

Also, was there a Ryan Mack sighting on the sideline vs FAMU?
