Which Version of the Miami Defense Will Show up in the Cheez-It Bowl?

In 2020, Blake Baker’s unit often bent but didn’t break. They looked dominant in games against Duke and Florida State but were porous and unmotivated against North Carolina in the regular-season finale. Looking ahead to Miami’s matchup against No. 21 Oklahoma State, the ‘Canes will have to be on their ‘A’ game in order to stop an offense that ranks ahead of the likes of Georgia and USC.

When you hear “Big 12 offense,” you may assume that means 50+ pass attempts with 400+ yards to boot, but Oklahoma State is more run-orientated than the majority of their conference counterparts.
