Stop taking Bangura out when he’s on fire which is anytime they give him room to make a yard

According to Rodney Harris in the post game press conference, Chuck Martin told him he wasn’t good enough for Miami coming out of high school.

Sieh hit the 17 carry threshold. 17 for 102 yards.

OU is now 18-4 in games where Sieh has at least 17 touches.

I don't think that was a hold. Trick was tripped/tackled from behind by his own teammate. That's what I saw on the replay anyway. Live it definitely looked like a blatant hold.

Whoever made the "Part the red Sieh" sign seen at the end of the broadcast, golf clap my friend.

Also struggling to see a push off on Rodney. Looks like he made contact with hips in a basketball, box-out move, and the DB fell.

What a great night in Peden! One of the most electric and engaged crowds in memory.

As an aside, I watched the replay this morning on one of the ESPNs off of Disney+. The replay was just as satisfying as the real thing. The student cheer on the variation of Muck Fiami came across on the broadcast. Was surprised the play by play did not mention it.

Hauser did a great job keeping a spy on Finn, but it wasn't always the same guy. Sometimes Fries, sometimes Hollobaugh, sometimes Christopher, or even a Dlineman in a zone blitz. Seems like it confused Finn and made him hesitant to take off. BTW, hats off to those guys. Great speed and tackling ability in the open field!

This was the difference in the game. Miami tried to use leverage to contain Navarro and we used multiple spies.

Their MB is in shambles:

Wild crazy frustrating awesome game. Had a great time on a beautiful November evening. A perfect 6-0 at Oeden appears imminent (yes I am looking past Umass, they are awful).

Hats off to the students, really good turnout and a solid amount stuck it out 'til the end. This after what I thought was a great turnout for the basketball opener. The F Miami chants were loud, proud and well executed. Many painted chests, signs, etc. I have more hope about this current student fan base than I have in the last 15 years...Hope they keep it up. The excitement spilled uptown, several OU Oh Yeah chants.

The pass interference call was one of the most crushing and awful calls I can remember. It was a massive game changing call, and absolutely terrible.

But, on the game winner we had an extremely egregious hold as the throw was being delivered. Unforgivable for them to have missed it. So we call it even?

The facemask penalty was huge too, but not oly was it legit but it affected our opportunity to make a throw downfield as Parker was in the process of escaping as he so often does.

Parker looked off much of the night. No doubt poor protection at times, and poor routes / good coverage at other times...but how many times did he drop back and just not deliver the football? Seemed hesitant and timid. His incredible elusiveness was as present as ever though.

Very exciting win, but not exactly a performance that has us rolling with confidence going into WMU. The way we have performed on the road, it's going to be a difficult hurdle to clear.

Thanks for the link.  I particularly liked this comment from a poster calling himself DevilGrad: 

A lot of us here are of a Miami vintage where you just expected OU to suck every year. That hasn’t been the case for a long time. They’ve been good under three coaches in a row; that’s the sign of a program that has been rebuilt correctly.

On the broadcast last night, I learned that the Bobcats have lost only once at Peden in the last four seasons (to Miami). Last night stunk and it was disappointing to see untimely mental errors that I thought this program had left behind, but we played a good MACTION squad to the wire at a place that has become a fortress. Miami’s task now is to clean up the mistakes and keep things alive for Detroit while, longer term, trying to figure out how to make Oxford as tough a road game as Athens has become.

This is probably at least partially a statistical anomaly, and partially playing better defenses on the road more than them really being THAT different away from their own house, but Toledo's offense has been unstoppable and home and a complete dud on the road. They are averaging 49 points at home and 15 on the road.
