Miami had two runs and three passes on the opening drive. Not a winning formula against Indiana.

No.

Watching on TV, but am already annoyed with the number of commercials. Imagine what it's like sitting in the stadium and waiting, and waiting, and waiting....

No question, our DUCKS have the best looking cheerleaders!

Looking at the length of some of Miami player’s pants, think they’ll end up in speedos before too long

Miami better clean up the dirty play. They’re going put themselves in the hole with stupid penalties.

No.

While we’re enjoying going to the fridge at home, or a nice clean bathroom at home during the break, those in Hard Rock paid as much as $3600 for a seat where thet don’t have nearly the view we have for free (assuming you’re paying for cable regardless of football coverage).

You are not kidding. Long slate of commercials followed by a kickoff followed by another long slate of commercials.

Indiana hasn’t played a defensive front this good since the B1G CG. Their defensive front seven is playing just as good if not better, though.

Starting to look like an Oregon game for Indy. Dominating everywhere but the scoreboard.

Miami’s defense is going to get pretty tired at the rate their offense is going. They’re just trying to run and hit passes that are 10 yards and under. They’re going to have to try something deep to keep the DB’s honest.

Finally, a Mario time out. I was beginning to worry about the boy

No.

Read an analysis earlier today quoting B1G coaches. The consensus was you can't get impatient and start passing too early. Impatience in play selection plays into Hoosier's defensive strengths and risks giving Indiana field position.

I know Miami is not running the ball effectively, but they have to keep trying according to B1G coaches. Don't be passing on first down and ending up in 2nd and 10, 3rd and 7.

I’m surprised Mario ran it on 3rd and 1 and also on 4th down and short. It’s so unlike him.

No.

For IU it's execution, execution, execution. Cignetti was right that there should have been a couple of PFs on Miami for slobberknocking Mendoza after the ball was out.

More of the same in the 2nd half for Indiana and they'll close this out.

It's not a Cinderella story anymore if she's wearing a Kevlar gown, barbed wire tiara and Muck boot slippers.

Go Hoosiers!

Indiana has zero respect for Miami’s WR’s. It’s like they know Beck won’t take any deep shots.

There was a missed targeting foul for sure.

No.

Miami's first half 69 yds is the lowest in a first half of a CFP final.

He must’ve called Mario and had a talk.

Miami’s defense is better than I gave them credit for. And I’ve realized I don’t even know what is pass interference anymore.

Add holding to that.

Unbelievable. WoW.

That was a gutsy call and run for the TD. Can’t tell which coach is unhappier.

Wow. That was a Heisman moment!

Cig threw the dice there.

Why couldn't we have played against this IU D?

Can't let Beck get comfortable that's when he's at his best.

Miami should be called for a penalty every play, on that TD huge block in the back not called. Any D could look this good if they could get away with the Holding and Passing Interference calls.

Their letting them play and is a big advantage for Miami.

The difference is Beck has shown good poise.

Sometimes you just have to believe in destiny.
