Miami -10.5 at SMU Saturday

[LoungeLord]

Idc about their record or how they looked against WF, if we come out sluggish we will lose this game. Better come prepared

Ill take ‘things a Mario team won’t do’ for $300.

They are too small to stop us. Bet the over

This. They are really small on the DL.

 

[90scane]

So was Louisville and Stanford, but they put the clamps on this offense for 90 minutes.

Stanford wasn’t small in the middle of the DL. That is why we had success later in the game when Lyle, CW, Pringle bounced outside.

 

[Caneadian]

Miami wins 38-13 or loses 30-27.

There is no in-between

stomp these fools

They had the one kid who destroyed Brockermeyer all game. They were outmatched and/or outsized at all other 10 spots.

When running in the A gap and televising it, you only need one NT to stop the run.

They also had LBers crashing gaps. Which is my point. You don’t need to match up size wise, when you know what’s coming.

Is the team leaving on Thursday or Fri?

 

[ajkreider]

We will score on them. In a 120 minute game, we win every time. The issue will be them jumping out to an early lead, and scoring just enough late to beat us.

 

[U_Canes]

Seems like all year we’ve been teams Super Bowl. And all year teams have been caught looking ahead and overlooking their opponents.

SMU losing to Wake the week before us
Louisville losing UVA.
FSU to UVA.

Could argue that Florida was looking ahead to LSU and then us and didn’t show up for USF.

They laid an egg last week, but I don’t think we should put too much weight into it. Will be a good test for Mario and our guys after looking flat early the last 2 weeks

 

[90scane]

Going to say Kelly being hurt limits SMU greatly. Miami by 3 scores.

Acc may hate SMU as much as Miami, 11am for a home coming game. Second half either has 25k fans if it is a close game or becomes a home game for Miami with 5-10k fans.

Jennings didn't do much, if any, running yesterday. Assume he is still nursing that ankle issue.

If that holds true another week it will be good for us. He was particularly inaccurate yestereday, too. So much so that the announcers started to wonder who he was throwing to...

Mario and Dawson need to start their gameplan with the plays/formations they brought out in the 3rd Q this week. The team looked totally different on offense for most of that Q

Our defense is elite. Problem is if the offense doesn’t show up until Sunday morning

I watched the game and thought his decisions were horrible.

If any of you are scouring the SMU boards, look for these names:

The Mustangs had to play much of the game without key offensive contributors. Tight end Matt Hibner, running back Chris Johnson Jr. and offensive linemen Logan Parr and Savion Byrd all went down with injuries.

 

[section9]

Normally I'd say this Vegas spread is the Kiss of Death for Miami, like the one Michael gave Fredo in Havana after Fredo opened his big mouth about Hyman Roth.

However, this team may have turned a corner in that second half and put the Louisville defeat behind them. One advantage we have is this is not last year's Ponies team.

Nevertheless, this will be a tough ask. As others have written here and on other boards, Lashlee will throw the kitchen sink at us and then some. We must be ready at all phases of the game.

Line currently -10 at DK. I did think -10.5 was just a touch high. Will be interesting to see where it goes through the week/sat morning.

Miami is 5-1 ATS this year, by the way.

 

[Gru]

Just watch the flea flickers

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

I can't make a decision until game time weather thread comes out to let me know if it's gonna rain or not.

The wet bulb is key……

One of my friends that i played (and coached with) is a coach in the league.

He made the observation that college football, with NIL and the transfer portal, (effectively free agency) has made the game much like the NFL in that there’s now an “any given Saturday” effect that was never really there. Big upsets were national news a dozen years ago. Now? Any team can be beat from one week to the next by any other team.

A team’s last game has minimal relevance to the one being played now.

That wasn’t the case 10 years ago.

If this is 2015 instead of 2025, does anyone think a team like penn state loses to UCLA? Or Alabama loses opening day to a half-a$$ed FSU squad? Or Vandy in the SEC is now better than LSU and Texas. and Indiana in the B10 is now way ahead of Michigan?

Don’t think so.

And every one of those teams could be totally different next year. It's dizzying.
