Miami opens -14.5 over SU

[690West]

Let down game or full steam ahead? Hmm

 

[Chris02M]

I'll take the points

For those worried about a let down, I give you the nearly 15 point spread. Still no respect/no one believes.

I was going to look at Iowa State for a comparison to see how they did after they beat Oklahoma but they played Kansas this weekend so that doesn't tell you anything.

In before someone else says "It's not their fault. They didn't know."

 

[longislandcuse]

This line screams of "hey gambler, one team is ranked #8 and one team lost to MTSU".

I've watched both teams play the past few weeks and they don't look 14.5 points apart.

A whole bunch of us believe!

Miami is scoring about 25 ppg in conf play. I don’t see our defense being worse that that. That means we only score 10. Not happening. Take the points.

 

[GoSU96]

They had barely escaped the last two weeks against a bad FSU team and GT. I’m not saying we are better than either of those teams but we aren’t two tds worse

depends on weather.

I never even thought of weather. And Phat posted something about the field being crap

Im tired of the Miami hype! lucky to be undefeated and ranked #8! But they are not as good as everyone is saying. Gt is a running team that plays into their strength (front 7) fsu hasn't been all that good with a back up qb. Wow how did they manage to beat duke?

#8? Not for long!

Over/under 350 paasing yards for dungey?

Hate to be that guy, but if it's a rainy muddy game...clearly not good for the Cuse.

Don't rainy games usually favor the offense? Specifically a passing attack?

 

[JLine]

All I know is that if we lose it won't be because of a let down game. Dino and staff will have the team ready. They will be ready anyway.

We may not cover, but that's a lot of points. I'd guess it settles under 14. Sharps should nail Cuse early. Not worried about the weather. Think it favors us really.

I say we go tempo and just watch guys slip all over the place.

I guess i'm thinking back to Wake last year. maybe that was wind more than rain?

Yea, wind is worst case scenario and a torrential downpour doesn't help either but just some rain/messy conditions and that defense should he on skates against us.

If it makes you feel better, that's always the 10 day forecast in Miami.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Rosier is not a very accurate passer and they are banked up at running back.

They also gave up 30 to Toledo.

Outside of the Duke game they really haven’t smashed anyone.

Yea, playing the contrarian here, but Washington State upends USC in Pullman, then loses 37-3 at Cal. Same script if we are not ready. Big home win, road loss.

This will be a test for Dino, to get everyone grounded, to eschew the adulation and (re)embrace the process. I'm equal parts hopeful and skeptical we will be able to do this.
