In case I wasn't clear
I did not compare the Miami game loss-for-loss to NIU. I compared Denbrock's decision to give Carr such latitude in his first game as a starter in college to an NIU-level blunder. "NIU-level" rating basically 10/10 on the Blunder Scale, compared to "Marshall-level" (9.3), "Stanford-level" (9.1) or "Clemson-2023-level" (7.4). IMO Denbrock maxed out the Blunder Scale with that particular choice, among hundreds of other choices which were made in Miami. In no way does it equate to calling the entire loss on Sunday comparable.
