In 2016 we held them to 14 points. Benkert is gone. Our OLB’s were worked all first half last year. Manny adjusted at half and they totaled 100 yards in the 2nd half and the lone TD came off a short field because of a blocked punt. The striker role was developed basically because of this offense.

Our guys are gonna hear all week about how Virginia is going to upset Miami this week. And if you think we sleep walk into this game with the veteran leadership we have after the game they gave us last year check yourself. If we run the ball like we should, and don’t have any costly turnovers we beat them by 2+ scores.

they don't have too many talented players on that squad. just looking at their starting D they have one top 300 player - tim harris (CB). don't think there is anyone on offense.

My predictions have no bearing on the score. Whether I say Miami wins by 60 or one it only matters if Miami wins. Why do some of you get so bent out of shape because some of us don’t expect Miami to win or struggle every game.

The only people who seem to get bent outta shape are the ones who make those type of predictions then have meltdowns when the team doesn't dominate

I get that the FSU game should be close and when we play good/elite teams, but this needs to be a UNC game scoring affair for us. We need to start rolling these middle-of-the-pack Coastal teams. UVA always plays us tough, but we need to put on a show.

No reason for this game to not be a 45-24 type of affair...that's how we did average teams in the Big East back in the day, like the West Virginias of the CFB world.

If Richt and company can continue to recruit like last years class then those days will soon be here when we roll through the Coastal with ease. Almost there.

It's so **** obvious to all that our STs sucks that even Richt called them out today. Hoping that means he will throw whatever it takes at emergency triage to correct our coverage units. &hit is unacceptable.

Truth here is , when your stacked with chips, you typically don't have an issue with ST,but we still lack some depth

No need to research them, because I actually follow college football.

West Virginia regularly loses 4-5 games, will always be in dogfights with that defense.
NC State just went to the wire with Boston College, couldn't put away James Madison
UCF.......let's stick to P5, thanks.
Colorado went to the very end with 0-5 Nebraska and Arizona State
Clemson......you mean the Clemson that had to survive Syracuse and Texas A&M

Good effort, but it's clear that you only watch Miami. There is one (1) team taking care of business week in and week out.

Elite teams put away average ones for the most part. It's not just Bama. Ohio State has blown out everyone, even a good TCU team in basically a road game. The Penn State game was close but that's a top 10 battle you expect to be close. Georgia had blown everyone out. I get your point though, Miami isnt elite yet so we see more close games against teams the elite would put away early.

They play good defense but I'm not nearly as concerned with their offense. They peppered Miami's 4-3 with short passes out of the spread in the first half last year. Manny made adjustments and shut them down in the second half. The defense this year has been tweaked again to match up better against spread teams. Finley missing the first half might hurt a bit but I'm not overly concerned. Miami has one of the top pass defenses in the nation this year. I'm not counting on Miami's offense to light it up but the defense will hold up. I'm thinking something like 24-10 Miami.

Smith is missing the first half not Finley.

If I recall the Toledo game opened at around -7 and went to -10 around game time. Vegas thought we would struggle then too. We’re not losing to Virginia.

Vegas isn't in the business of saying teams will struggle. They are in the business of making money.

Honestly it was good we faced FSU before them. VA will try and do short quick passes and screens to counter our defense which is exactly what FSU was doing in the first half. We made the adjustment and shut them down. Let's hope we can get off to a fast start Sat. If we can get up by 14 early we will be fine.

UVA bombed us up top last year.
