There is a game tomorrow now. Does anyone think we actually have a chance to win since Scott has "reenergized" the team? Serious talk only...

All rides on whether Rosier is ready or not. Cutcliffe is going to have a plan and I'm sure it has to do with taking the run game out entirely, and putting pressure on our OL to protect Rosier and forcing him to throw. If Coley can dial up some easy throws to get him going, and our athletes in space vs their defense, we have a chance. But that is asking a lot for so much that hasn't been proven by these players or staff yet.

As far as defense, I hope the rumors of Scott and No D getting into it are legit. That means Scott told him the pussified defense isn't going to cut it, and we are going to go after them.

We have more talent, but are severely going to be outcoached. We'll see how the team comes out. If it's energized and hard nosed, like we really haven't seen since Golden arrived, we have a chance. We could still lose if they come out that way, but it would be close at least. Or, Duke would just simply give in if the intensity was enough. If it is the typical Al Golden flat team that comes out, we are getting smoked.

If we had Kaaya, I say we end up winning a pretty good shootout. Since he isn't playing, I'm going to say that we still come out flat, and get beat by 14+. My heart made me say 14, my gut is telling me more like 24+. My prediction is somewhere in the middle. I'll say 38-20 Duke

If we can run the ball, and stop their offense a few times, we stand a chance. We have to control the clock to have a chance. We won't win a shoot out like we could with Kaaya

I'm interested, what's up?
 
I doubt it. Too many guys were actually loyal to Golden, and they prob miss him. I don't expect all these scheme changes, the same freakin coaches are there. PLease prove me wrong. Duke prob covers the 9.5.
 
With Kaaya and Scott out, it's going to come down to whether James Coley can get more out of less with Rosier running the offense.

So...no.

Some rumor going around that Scott and No D got into a fight and No D was fired or something. Never really read much into it, I was going to wait until it was confirmed that he was actually fired, which never happened.

Thnx man. I'm really looking forward to something going down on the Miami sideline tomorrow. There's no way in **** this staff avoids some type of breakdown before the final game.
