We will probabaly never be as strong as bama but I think our speed is a good counter to their strength.

Amari Cooper, Teddy B, Watkins played elsewhere. BUT THAT was the past.

We get our LOCAL boys and we would line up against Bama anytime anywhere!

More "local boys" BS. Look at Alabamas OL and DL. how many "local boys" on those lines?
 
Flowers, Linder, MacDermott all local boys and Kirkland is as well! Florida has enough DLine highschool studs to counter Bama's strenght. Perhpas not as strong but good enough to go to battle. You then add our speed and we have a shot.
 
Do know what scares Nick Saban to death and worked against him this year:SPEED KILLS. Run that hurry up offense and limit thier ability to sub in for tired players. UM did the samething to ND, but UM's WR dropped several key balls.

Bama offense is not built for a track meet type game. If we can get 3 more years out if Fisch to establish his system, which I think he does stay for because he wants to be a head coach.

Go Canes

Miami can always get the speed. It's the strength up front that they've been missing. They controlled the LOS on both sides of the ball.

We seem to be doing a great job of loading up on stud OL with potential and DE's that can get after the QB, but we haven't been able to pull in that dominating, disruptive DT that can ruin everything offense wants to do.

That's the final piece that we need.

Not having poor coaching would also help. Any fantasy that Kelly is truly a top-notch coach went out the window with last night's game. He coached a terrible game. The entire game it looked like his game plan was to go head-to-head with the strongest aspects of Alabama's team. Add to that the fact that the players forgot how to tackle and they had no chance.

I don't know if that's true. You saw he came out throwing, he knew they weren't going to be able to run the ball. His guys couldn't get seperation and his line couldn't give Gholston time. ND was overmatched all over the field. It was pretty clear from the start. I don't think this one is on Kelly, he ran into a team that was superior physically in just about all aspects of the game.
 
Oline has the talent, Experience, etc next year to be special. Only reason they will no be is because of coaching. This will actually be Miami most talented line in years, If they dont meet their potential its all on coaching

Wow, short memories on here.

1993???? I think it was that year Stalling's Bama squad disproved that speed theory. Look up what Bama did to UM in that game.

You forget the peach Bowl against LSU. Notre Dame ran train on UM this year without even trying to pass in the 2nd half. UM receivers were open!

Its the trenches.

Wow.

You could say that ND was overmatched in every area of the game (and they were), but how many times do you have to throw the ball at Dee Milliner until you realize that it's just not going to work. Not only was the gameplan flawed, he didn't even try to change things up. He tried that **** well into the 4th quarter.
 
ND was overrated. I said Bama would stomp the day they were matched up to play each other. There were no truly dominate teams this year in CFB IMO. Bama is beatable which Texas A&M proved. Miami will have the horses to beat them shortly. Unfortunately Golden was handed a pile of **** to work with. Have to have a solid two deep to be able to go man to man with Bama the whole game.

Two things you need to beat a team like Bama.

As one poster mentioned, a hurry up attack that doesn't allow them to sub in their defensive players. Nick mentioned that specifically after the loss to Texas A&M.

Secondly, you need corners who are able to match up one and one and stick to their guy.

This allows your LB and Safety's to play down hill and match up against the run game.

As evident last night, just when Nd was effectively stopping the run, Bama would do the same 4 routes and throw it over top. The corner backs were playing off te receivers and looking in the back field.


If I were a coach, which I am not and probably explains why in theory this works but now in actuality; I tell my corners forget about the RB. Jam the receiver every play and stick to your man.

Those with more football knowledge than me please explain why this would/would not work.
 
Get bigger in the trenches and get a new defensive coordinator!!!

Plus..... YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOLID DEPTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
