| 0:00.0 | Neither team's scared, neither team's going to be afraid to go out there and do what they do. That's why this matchup is so juicy, and I can't wait for it. What is up, everybody? Thank you for joining us on today's episode here at Crane and Cone. And today's show is brought to you by our friends over at Good Ranchers. Head over to Good Ranchers.com. I'm going to tell you a little bit more about them as we get into it. But we got one game left, fellas. David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback, Blaine Crane, former Western State Colorado wide receiver. And I think it's going to end up being a banger. I just think the main thing I want to start out with, because I want to ask you guys what matchup are you looking |
| 0:37.6 | forward to the most from whether it's personnel, whether it's position group, whatever. |
| 0:42.5 | I just want to go and put this out here as unbelievable as Indiana has looked and they have |
| 0:48.3 | looked damn near unstoppable up to this point. Miami can win this game. Oh yeah. Like this isn't a this isn't a |
| 0:55.5 | mountain versus molehill situation. I think Miami can play well and Indiana can play well and |
| 1:01.3 | Miami can win this game. So I want to go ahead and this isn't going to be one of those previews |
| 1:05.1 | where it's just everything about Indiana is just always going to be awesome this that or the other. Miami's |
| 1:09.7 | got here too and they can do some things that can disrupt and ruin everything. So I want to throw that out there. But, uh, Coney, what matchup are you looking forward to the most when, when, you know, looking at at this game in these teams? Well, it's got to be Fernando Mendoza against this Miami defense. |
| 1:28.6 | I mean, he's the Heisman Trophy. |
| 1:46.3 | When I like I told you guys last week, I get serious Andrew luck vibes from the kid, the way he approaches the game and really with this throwing motion and some things that he does down the field with the football. But and then up against this Miami defense, when you talk about Keante Scott and Bain and Mesidor. I mean, some of the best football players in the country are on that side of the football. |
| 2:01.8 | But just from a high level perspective, I mean, let's just think about what we have here. We have an Indiana Hoosiers team that is undefeated, number one, trying to be the first 16 and O team in this sport. 50 years, mind you, to the year after their basketball team went undefeated under Bobby Knight. |
| 2:05.6 | And really, they're one of the, they were a lapping stock of this sport for a long time. |
| 2:09.8 | One of the losingest programs in the history of this sport has a chance to go 16 and 0 against a blue blood brand in Miami who really has been wondering the wilderness of mediocrity for 25 years. |
| 2:17.2 | It's been a quarter century since they were the most dominant football |
| 2:20.6 | program in the country when I was growing up in the early 2000s. |
| 2:24.0 | And now look at them. |
| 2:24.9 | I mean, we have an awesome matchup here. |
| 2:26.8 | And from the Indiana perspective, you know, like it's been an unbelievable story, |
| 2:31.8 | but I think people have finally moved on from the brand bias. |
| 2:34.6 | After they beat the Buckeyes, certainly after they beat Alabama, but now after what they've |
| 2:39.2 | done to Oregon, people are finally saying, oh, forget what's on the helmet. This is a very good |
| 2:44.6 | football team, not just a good football story. Does that mean they're unbeatable? Absolutely not. |
