anyone else starting to get usf vibes?

Yeah for those super confident in a blowout it’s still a rivalry game and they do have a quality win already. UF game also should have been a blowout and that was at home. That stadium is going to be nuts just hoping for good weather.

Yeah like I said in the other post we got sloppy up 28-6. INT-Punt-INT.

Was an awesome game to beat their *** but also remember last year we beat the **** out of them but fast forward and people are like “there were signs in that game”?

I’m not saying it’s like that AT ALL but it’s just something I wanna see us clean up in the conference play. I don’t expect pure domination every week but we can do better when the chance presents itself

Thankfully we have a defense that can keep giving us chances

It has happened in every game. I don't think we could have "buried" ND, but we could have been up 17 instead of 14. Maybe 20.

We could have been up more on USF and turned it into a laugher earlier, even if the outcome wasn't in doubt.

UF should have been over. We should have blown them out. The offense **** the bed the entire 3rd quarter and was sloppy at the end of the 2nd.

There's a ton of room for improvement. We need a killer instinct. It's true that we don't have "explosive" offensive players per se, but we've had chances at blowouts that we've failed to realize. That's on the offense. Execute. Get it done this time.

College football is so much fun because this is just what happens week to week

And I’m happier than an American tourist in a Mexican steroid shop right now

Truth is we’ve actually been more dominant that the scores reflect which is crazy

FSU definitely gonna bring the emotion this week and Castellanos is a gamer so let’s not let them breathe

Yall are some harsh critics.

We were favored by 17 and we won by 37. At the end of the 3rd quarter we were up by 29 points.

We had over 300 yards of offense at halftime.

For sure, we had some drives that didn't pan out.

But let's put it this way. When Miami had the best offense on the planet last season, we averaged 3.83 points per drive, which was far and away #1 in America.

Against USF, we had 12 drives, and scored 49 points.

49/12 = 4.08 points per drive. That is elite of elite of elite.

Even if you want to throw away the entire 4th quarter, we scored 35 points on 10 drives. 3.50 points per drive would've ranked 4th in the country last year. I get that everyone wants to score 60 if we get up 28-6, but it almost never works out like that. There's regression to a mean in everything. We're just not going to have 10 possessions and score 10 touchdowns against really anyone, never mind a team who had just beaten two ranked teams.

UiF and ND, I see the point. But we smacked the **** out of USF, the game was literally never close or even remotely in doubt. Points in the first quarter are worth just as much as they are in the other quarters. As a matter of fact, I could argue they're *MORE* valuable because when you get a team down, they often change their entire gameplan and have to play in a way that's not their most comfortable.

Anyway, we smashed the **** out of USF. Men against boys. That's very likely not happening this week. FSU is much better, and they're home.

We beat USF 50-15 last year

Fast forward and people were like “ya know there were signs”

There’s always something we can improve

miami fans are hillarious. I am not saying I am scared of FSU or I think they are a great team but they did beat a pretty talented Bama team. this game might not be as easy as our fans think. we could dominate if we dont play as sloppy as we played against florida but it is more likely that its going to be a close game,

This is Miami’s first road game even though they don’t have to leave the state. Mario better have these guys starting out fast. I want a 2020 FSU beatdown.

Mario has his warts but **** if he doesn’t get his teams up and prepared for big games (away included) going back to his Oregon days.

I want nothing more than their fans in mass exodus similar to the gatah in Canesville last year.
 
Here's my only concern about FSU.

They've only attempted 4 punts this year because they've gone for it on 4th down 11 times, converting 8.
They went for it on 4th & 1 from their own 34 against Alabama.

I don't think they're going to attack downfield often. They're going to try to flip the script and control the clock. They'll be happy averaging 3 yards per play because they'll go for it on 4th down.

Over the past 25 years we’ve won three games at Doak by over 10 points. Expect a dogfight, one score game. We also play a style that keeps games close. Still think we get it done 4-7 point win. Wish I could be there.

Four games into the season, this is a big one for me.

Have we played that style because circumstances dictated that approach (weather, opponent, etc.)? Or is that who we are?

I’m still hoping we can and will open it up more. Maybe a dry ball/field lets us showcase our athletes and offensive system more. Maybe Lyle pops some big ones as the season progresses. Maybe we get Lofton and JoJo going. I think we might have another gear or two on offense.

I’m curious how things will play out.

Fwiw, whenever we've been able to win decisively against them, it's been in Tally much more often than at home. Not saying that's gonna be this outcome but wanted to point out.

Gus is gonna throw 25 sideways passes to the WR to avoid our DL, and then 10 stop/go fade routes. We stop that and it'll be worse than USF.

This. 100% agreed, and he’s going to try to entice our DL to over pursue and leave our LBs stranded for 1:1 tackling in space.

If our front 7 does its job, we win easily. No Castellano gash runs and no RB/WR big YAC from the flat.

4.5 point spread on the road against a top 20 team who is also our biggest rival. I don’t really get the over confidence that this will be some usf type *** kicking.
