Mike Ryan predicting us to lose again before the ACC CG?

[Mnhurricane]

A struggling defense can lose to anyone if the offense falters my man

 

[edge]

Their HC is Manny Diaz. I can’t see him winning a big game.

He won an ACC championship. Something we haven’t done.

 

[htownkidd]

Is it a rule that he/everyone has to just automatically assume we win every game? I’m confused.

I’m more concerned with Va Tech personally, but nothing would surprise me.

 

[Brooklyndee]

They played much better. I don’t see them stepping back.

Me, I pay attention to patterns. We play down to our opponents far too often and our coordinators do the same...

 

[hurricaneman]

We're about to play two teams that are a combined 13-5 with 4 of those losses being one score. Believe it or not, we're not at the coasting stage of our schedule. We're at the toughest part. Everything is on the line in these two games.

Miami better play like they're trying to get into the ACCCG game and playoff and not like they've already been earned, because they haven't.

We stopped doing that when we were desperate last year (after SMU loss). Hopefully they feel the same sense of urgency now.

Congratulations to him are in order for that big time win against the PowerHouse Virginia team... I've got a crazy feeling that if that used car dealer had the opportunity to go to the national championship he probably switches roles. I guess clearly he's a far superior coach.

I'm sorry but in my opinion we've done it this year several times...

 

[mr.h]

We need Jeremiah Smith to transfer here now
Somebody do something

I agree. Just hoping the actual LOSS to ND lights a fire.

The current iteration of Miami is within reach of teams in the ACC. Last years team lost 2 in the ACC. This team has a defense nowhere near last year, and no Mali. What makes you think we are some lock when last years team lost 2 should we lose? no. but we are within reach of these teams now.

I don’t think we lose but Duke on fuego. This will be a tough game for us after a tough loss.

Duke is a one trick pony with Shephard . They also have played maybe the easiest schedule in the country

 

[Robacco Toad]

We’re not losing another regular season game after what I saw from Mario in the postgame presser. We’re coming out guns blazing

 

[canwewinagain]

If the defense plays like they did in the 2nd half of ND. We’re gonna be fine. Hopefully a switch flipped.

 

[JD08]

I don’t think we lose but Duke on fuego. This will be a tough game for us after a tough loss.

They sure did look good against juggernaut teams like NC State and Boston College.

And a much worse offensive line.

 

[aelmiami]

I don’t think we lose again. VT would be my biggest worry. Because we could have the ACCCG locked up. Looking ahead, all of that nonsense. But I do think the right leaders are on this team to keep the ship steady Saturday.

Short of us becoming turnover prone, which hasn’t happened yet, I’m not that worried. Manny’s defense is predicated on havoc. He’s gonna blitz a lot, and play 1v1. I don’t think they have the horses to defend that way for 60 minutes. And they are run first. They’d have to fundamentally change their offensive identity to beat us. It could happen, but I just don’t see it.

Odds are we get more of second of Mensah & co the rest of the way, than what we saw in the first half vs ND.

 

[Colombie]

Can it happen? Sure.

Anything can happen.

But it is more likely we score 50 and beat them all like Pitt.

 

[JBCanes-NC]

Not a Manny fan. He sucks. But was the ACC title game a big game last year?

 

[passitback]

I think we win, double digits.
