I don't think anyone will be intimidated by 19,000 fans in Death Valley, even at night.
They got a little fake toss, (rpo) play that they run that i see them hitting us on.Only effective play FSU ran against us was the counter. It was actually very effective. So the 4-2-5 look is the right one against Clemson. Hopefully we play match zone against these guys. I'd like to see us stunt a **** of a lot less on run downs and keep gap discipline and not get fooled pre-snap with our eyes.
How much money did they have to pay Etienne to stay???? Makes NO SENSE, we can’t keep 7th rounders like deejay yet they keep sure fire first rounders year after year after year!!!Wide receiver they are better. Running back at the top they are loads better. ETN is a savage. I’m ****ed he came back for another season. What running back does that crap.
But I’d also say corner depth they’re better. Safety we are better when hall and bolden are out there. They have better linebackers. Our d line takes a backseat to no one. Offensive line I’m shocked to say might be a wash. Tight end is us for sure. Special teams a wash.
But remember individual groups don’t matter. It’s about the matchup. The matchups might favor them in most spots. Running the ball against us they’re favored for sure. I think we will be able to throw on them. I think we may have marginal success running on them. Our linebackers scare me.
I agree that no one is giving us a chance. In a vacuum our starters compare. But the matchups is where it gets dicey
I hope they are thinking that. They will be in for major let down if so.It's possible. I think a sizeable percentage of the Miami "fanbase" is saying that the team is a fraud and shouldn't be in the top 10. "Pump the brakes" is the operative phrase. Clemson could be thinking this team is as overrated as the team they played in 2017.
This is not the mismatch people are trying to make it to be talent wise. Culture & coaching have been our problem.
I read an article not too long ago about Willie Williams. WW was one of the first celebrity high school football players in the internet age. Some reporters had tried to get top recruits to give them salacious recruiting gossip, but it was pretty mundane and didn't get readers. Navarro saw Willie Williams as his meal ticket and knew full well that Williams wasn't prepared to handle the celebrity, but he didn't care. Williams was giving him crazy stories and readers were eating it up. Shameful.
BTW- if you wanted another reason to hate UF, they were responsible for leaking a lot of the stuff about WW's supposed bad behavior out of revenge for him spurning them.

Long story short, Navarro sucks.
Manny is a strange dude. He dresses his daughter up in UM gear like he's a real fan, but for years he's been taking passive aggressive shots at the team. I still remember him tweeting out pictures of the stadium making fun of our attendance.....he would send a pic that was 30 minutes before kickoff of a noon game before the roof.
Exactly, we need to just play with 1 high safety, in the beginning that way we can keep carter close to the line so he can crack the **** outta etienne or trevor early on. I keep seeing all these "if we can keep it close post" lol, ***** that, and this is where I'll give coach diaz credit for lashlee coming in, rhett not trying to keep **** close, he's going to try and do the same thing if not worst to Clemson that we gave to FSU, he has no respect of team, just pure pride in his offensive system and philosoohies.Right on, right on Calvin! It's a psychological state of mind for the Hurricanes Saturn night, October 3rd. And if they come in knowing they can shock the major CFB realm, the Hurricanes will be alright. What I like is we have some solid-on-down leaders on the team now. That includes both sides of the LOS. What worries me though, is Baker and his pansy **** schemes! He has to let loose on defense! No holding back until it's dire straits time. Because everybody in South Florida, and throughout the nation, knows the Hurricanes have the offensive power to go toe to toe and throw punches with mighty Clemson.
Oh. Another notion. The Hurricanes special teams easily out shines anything Clemson has to offer. Because both kickers will be donning NFL uni's next season. huh?
Its coaching. That's it.
Our offense is capable of scoring points. If the WRs catch, and King runs well, the offense will keep us in the game.
The defense will be exposed by Clemson. Our D-backs won't be able to stop their WRs. Lawrence will drop dimes anyways.
Clemson will run misdirection so well that our back 7 won't have a clue what planet they're on. Our linebackers won't even come close to touching Etienne bc of how far out of position they are.
If our defense was coached properly it would make a huge difference.
I said that they'd run this play several times against us in the other thread.They got a little fake toss, (rpo) play that they run that i see them hitting us on.
- Its to get the backers out of position, and hits the te or slot guy right up that seam ...Its pass n catch. Comeback to this thread after the game and remember i said that play will hit.
Im with you less stunting...and that delayed blitz will be a waste with Lawrence. They need to run some stuff that Syracuse runs that typically throw them off at times.
Game 1: Couch interferes with Popes catch. Pope fumblesI'm sure the staff hasn't even thought about coaching Pope not to drop the **** kick.
I mean, you had both Oklahoma and LSU drop games this past weekend. There are going to be some funky results due to the pandemic.
Sounded like a Clemson podcast with Kelvin as a guest.Man, Fat Manny really knows how to **** me off. He was a joke when covering high school football--and he's comparatively more of a joke now. Makes me want to puke listening to him simp to this Clemson reporter.
They really arent outside of Lawerence & I guess the d-line altough ours is very good too. This is not the mismatch people are trying to make it to be talent wise. Culture & coaching have been our problem.
