Are some people really predicting that we're losing to Notre Dame again?
Their DL has two guys who killed Miami last year in Jerry Tillery and Jay Hayes.
Nyla's Morgan also played very well against Miami last year.
On offense, they walked up and down on Miami when it mattered last year. 4/5ths of that OL are back.
Yes, Miami has more depth which should help.
Our QB play may be worse than last year.
That's an L
They lost their qb, this game will be at home, and our front 7 is going to be elite this year. Not to mention they were 4-8 last year. W.

Well - they didn't beat Miami because of their QB. He was OK, but didn't light the world on fire (65% completion; 263yds and 2 TD's).
Here's why Miami lost -
Walton goes for 2.5ypc. How does that change this year if the core of the DL comes back?
Kaayak took 5 sacks, and the OL as a whole gave up 12 TFL's. The same OL is coming back that got their *** kicked. How is that going to be different this year?
You tell me how this changes this year and Miami wins.
OL is playing better according to Ariz. we are going to spread defenses out with our receivers, it will open up things for mark and Travis. Also we will get sacked less because whoever our qb is will not be as immobile as Kaaya. Not to mention I think our D will hold them to fewer points.
So you think in one off-season, with basically the same players, the OL is going to go from 17 TFL's (sacks included) to a DL that whooped their *** for 4-quarters last year to a unit that is going to move the ball and beat Notre Dame?
Excellent, sound logic there.
