COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF QUARTERFINAL GAME THREAD: Miami Hurricanes at Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl Classic

Welcome to another Miami Hurricanes College Football Playoff game day everyone!

To continue the CFP journey, Miami travels to Arlington, TX to take on the 2nd seeded 12-1 Ohio State Buckeyes in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl. This is a major game of consequence in both the past and present for the Miami Hurricanes, and it’s against a team that Miami faced in a major spot previously.

The Tuesday update to the injury report:

  • LB Malik Bryant, WR Daylyn Upshaw, and DB Damari Brown are all out. Of these, Brown is the biggest absence for Miami. He’s been stellar this year, but a bit unheralded with others in the secondary taking the headlines.
  • Freshman DT Donta Simpson was also downgraded to OUT in the lead up to the game.

And here are your uniforms for the game: Stormtroopers.

Your captains for the playoff quarterfinals: DE Rueben Bain Jr, RG Anez Cooper, WR C.J. Daniels, RB Mark Fletcher Jr., RT Francis Mauigoa, DE Akheem Mesidor, Nickel Keionte Scott, and LB Mo Toure.

Another new “biggest game in the last 23 years” against the team we had the last biggest game against to start this streak. I’m excited, prepared, and ready for the moment. Hopefully the team is, too!

Hop in the comments and discuss the action as it happens.
