Miami’s win over Ohio State on New Year’s Eve can be attributed to the Canes’ dominance in the trenches. The offensive and defensive lines dominated the Buckeyes.

As they prepare for the Fiesta Bowl, former Heisman winner Johnny Manziel looked at how Beck could make or break the game for Mario Cristobal’s team.
“Miami is playing great ball right now,” said Johnny Manziel on the January 1 episode of Nightcap. “I think if you get that level of Carson Beck that you got yesterday, if you can get that with their defense, they’re going to be a really, really hard out. But this is going to be a really good game.

But then you’ll see him against A&M, and you know, he’ll make enough plays to get it done, but he’s inconsistent at times. But I still think he’s a good quarterback.
