re: Miami Hurricanes vs Texas A&M and the 12th Man.

This is a horrendous matchup for Aggie. Miami might have the best run D in the country. Their weakness as a secondary is big X WR's or a high efficiency west coast passing attack. A&M uses quick slot receivers and is low efficiency/reliant on big plays. Defensively A&M's secondary is meh, they can't stop the run and are heavily reliant on their pass rush. Miami has one of, if not the best pass pro OL's in the country. Miami's weakness on offense is ball hawking secondary's exploiting Beck's tendency to make bad decisions in close games. SMU ranks 7th in the country in INT's and Louisville ranks 15th. He had 6 picks in those 2 games, which were both single possession games. A&M ranks 2nd to last in the country with 3 INTs all year Couldn't be a worse matchup

Man go to Vegas and hammer Miami moneyline and retire!

I can handle success just fine. But A&M sports just cannot. Historically we spit the bit. Lost to an average Texas team this year, as we usually do.

Klein isn’t remotely focused, and I blame him for the Texas loss. He was interviewing for jobs that entire week. Inexplicably moving away from the run cost us that game. I expect more of the same. We will see

We are in the Playoff and have a home game at Kyle and you are mainly focused on excuse making for why we will fail. Just sad and I can't understand that kind of thought process. Inevitably the result is you end up craving the disappointment like a gambling addict craves losing it all.

I hope they invent that pill for you.

I am okay with either result, though would prefer the win. A&M has the hardest path of all the teams. Looking at Miami - OSU - UGA - Indiana as a possible path to the championship. Nobody could give us crap about the schedule anymore.

Those prices are insane for Kyle Field

At the end of the season, Miami's schedule showed that they only played one team that was ranked at the end of the year....Notre Dame. Miami's schedule was a joke. I'd be shocked if Miami wins this game.

Miami is the only team in the playoffs that has two losses to unranked teams.

Canes seem confident down in SFL.

Miami is a very talented team. Their run defense is great, they can do what Texas did to A&M (stop the run and take away the underneath throws).

A&M should win. They're at home and Cristobal is not a good big-game coach. Even in the big games he has won, quite a few have been in spite of his in-game decisions.

I think aggy will smoke them at Kyle.

I still don't understand how they didn't let Concepcion loose against us but I expect him to have big game.

I think Klein got away from concepts that were working in the first half. Not really sure what the thought process was there. I suppose he got impatient.

If he doesn’t learn from that, he’ll get out-schemed.

Yeah - it was an impressive second half for Texas and an underwhelming second half for A&M. And A&M usually dominates second half this season.

I do think the home field crowd noise was a major factor in stalling some of the A&M drives with false starts when 3rd and 3 became 3rd and 8.

So I’m glad this playoff game is at home.
