“After the loss, Miami coach Mario Cristobal was asked about the decision for Ward to sit.

"All meetings with players, and decisions like that, we made them in private, we keep them in private," he said after the loss in a news conference that did not include Ward. "So, I'll prefer not to answer any questions as it relates to that. But I know he played his best while he was in there."”


Coach-Player Confidentiality. For f*ck’s sake.

I read this as "Ward's NIL check bounced. He found out about it when he checked his phone at halftime. I hope nobody asks about it again. We need to recruitsome more athletic suckers."

If he is not going to provide an explanation, we can fill in the blanks as we wish.

Or, Ward told Mario at half time he won’t play the second half without a bag of cash in his hands before they leave the locker room. We can guess at the amount requested, but let’s go with $100k.

We know the result. Crystalballs tried but could not pull it off.

Cristobal seems like a big push over to me.

Missou drops back on every play on first drive and Iowa defense smothers. Not sure why they didn't attempt a run at all. Could be a long day if they can't run at all.

In a PC he said that 6-4 was one of his favorite games of all time. I'd like to say I was surprised.
seriously, Ferentz is living in 1985 as far as football strategy, it has been amazing how successful it has been, and also a product of their B1G West schedule

looks like today Missouri is going to be like 90 percent on 3rd down

Down goes Iowa. They have 4th & 1, out of FG range, and run a QB keeper. They get stuffed, and actually lose yardage.

Final: 27-24, Mizzou
