Miami's defensive line could be a big factor in game against Californa

All eyes are on Rueben Bain and Miami's defensive line as they prepare to face California on Saturday night.

Cal head coach Justin Wilcox said on Monday that we may see some changes to the starting group. It's easy to see why. In just four games, the Golden Bears' offensive line has surrendered over 16 sacks.

In the last two games alone (Florida State and San Diego State), the Bears have given up 13 sacks. California's offensive line ranked 130th nationally in sacks allowed.

Veteran OL Sioape Vatikani had a minor neck injury against FSU, but he is probable for the game on Saturday. Bain is expected to return for Miami.

Yeah Cals Oline is allowing some of the most pressures in the country, and we are creating pressure at a top 3 rate, AND we get Bain back... So yeah, This should be our biggest advantage this game.

They will definitely try to run it down our throats. Front 7 needs to be much better! Bain will make a difference of course, but if our tackling is good, we win by 24+. Get a lead and let the pass rush loose on this horrible pass blocking O-line.

Bain has been out a few weeks, it will be interesting if he’s in football shape after the layoff.

Go Canes!

This is the kind of games we would lose in the past-long travel, angry opponents, our previous game was a poor performance. I expect a close game until the 4th quarter and we win because of better line play.
