Josh pate miami season prediction

Don't think he was pumping too bad. He said best case 10 wins but only if the universe aligns and EVERYTHING goes right. Worst case 6-6. Predicts 8-4. He seemed reasonable to me.

I feel like I agree with the way he thinks. He just tells it like it is and it makes sense. I agree with most of his videos about Miami except last year with the win total and a few other times.

Same DTs are still here and we are weak there as of right now. Unless we accidentally landed a first rounder type on the inside last cycle which I doubt. Scheme will help but we can be run on inside there. At least we have a staff that knows this now. Other staffs would be targeting 4 star DTs who will flame and transfer. So the staff targeting ballers at the position means they know they need physicality there.

A 7 and 8 win season difference is the NC State game essentially.
Everyone concedes we lose to TAMU UNC Clemson and FSU. To make it to 10 wins, we'd have to beat a combination of UNC, TAMU or FSU.
What's interesting to me is, since we play FSU late on the season, they might not be motivated at all since that team is doing the "Natty or Bust" route. So if they lose to LSU and one more game before us, we certainly have a great chance, especially since I still don't believe in that OL that much.

Lol not UNC. We should have beat them last year
 
We can beat ATM at home (we should have last year but our offense was on doggy downers and we gifted them that fumble) and there’s no excuse to lose to Mack Brown again.

9-3.

Noles have our number until we’re much better

Very much so. Some key considerations in the 8 to 10 win scenario:

  • Ignore last year. TVD is playing like he did with Lashlee, but with two more years of experience under his belt
  • Far deeper running back room that is more talented than in 2021 or 2022
  • Deeper tight end room that is more talented than in 2021 or 2022
  • Far better offensive line than in 2021 or 2022
  • New DC's scheme proves better than Manny's in 2021 or Steele's in 2022
  • More experienced, deeper defensive line
  • Insanely more talented defensive ends than in 2021 or 2022
  • More talented linebacker corp than in 2021 or 2022
Those are your drivers. TVD is the most important. Wide receiver will be better (and deeper) than last year, and better for depth reasons and overall ball distribution than in 2021.

TAMU is the most talented team that we face on our schedule. Miami is reasonably close to Clemson in a lot of position groups, although the Tigers have more experience. FSU has the advantage in returning players and familiarity with scheme.

Of course, guy is building a brand to make himself wealthy, good on him. The content is unique and entertaining. Late Kick has been a great way to keep tabs on the rest of the sport while I endlessly wait for the Canes to get the ish together.

As much as I want to agree with all of this...the tight ends are questionable...more talented? The last guy is in the NFL...and who knows what we have with the rest of the guys.

You got that right. Except 10/14 is a question mark. I'm flying into Fort Lauderdale that night so I really hope that game is at 11 or 230. I don't drink before I travel. Now when I get to the airport I'm going right for the bar after security.

Interesting you think that we don't have a run stopping DT. So are you just guessing or did you do your homework? Guirdry had a top 10 D against the run last year and shut down Notre Dame last year who had a giant OL. He didn't have a giant space eating DT either. That's not the way his D works.

It's the way he made the D work because at Marshall, he couldn't get a space-eating, run-stopping DT. It called making adjustments based on the talent available. That's why I'm somewhat optimistic because he's the type of coach you need when you have a roster with talent gaps.

But make no mistake. You can always win a one off (e.g., Notre Dame), but when you step up in competition and play a string of teams with dominant lines (as in the bowls or playoffs), it will come back to bite you.
 
If we can pull nine or ten wins this program would be on fire for recruiting for the future.

That said I expect eight wins with a hope for a bowl win
