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

with this defense, no game is a given....

with that said, Miami should win out...

I know I know I’m being too optimistic, but please stop comparing this team to 2024. The defense is not what it should be but the two are not the same.

Not sure what some of yall have been watching the last month. We’re capable of losing to anyone or beating anyone. We better take Duke serious and not be down after the loss. Duke will want to kick out asses as bad as FSU did.

I agree, but our posters are also forgetting the latter part of your statement in a one game situation we can beat anyone still. I am counting this of course as in playoffs and we have Mali. We better keep our eyes peeled and play with our hair on fire for the rest of the season.

Did I just hear that right on Le Batard?

I don’t get who he thinks we are losing to at home?

Surely I heard that wrong.

No chance we lose one of these last 3 home games after taking the L to ND imo.

We are capable of losing to Duke and VT. How some of you don’t see this is beyond me. Have you not been watching our last several games?

We have the 2024 defense back there which means every game against teams with a pulse will be uncomfortable unless something drastic changes on defense (which won’t).

It’s the timing not the team. If we come out focused and ready to play we win by 2-3 tds. But if we have an emotional hangover, start slow and this defense plays like it did against UNC…

Hangover is a Major concern for me. And a half empty stadium because our campus sucks and fans suck. Players feed off energy, especially at home, and unfortunately we always let them down, regardless of success/record. They deserve better for sure. ill give props to the Atlanta/GA canes fans. Every gameday the flight I take is packed.

I mean in the spirit of the football gods, Manny coming home a week after Mario got hosed at Notre Dame—a year after takin Mensah and Barkate—in a game that is only on the schedule because the South Carolina game was canceled (due to the ACC / SEC each going to nine games and the Blue Devils as the Canes' ninth game) ... it's definitely a weird one.

The fact Miami got hosed by Notre Dame and took the loss ... have to believe they will get their act together this week and handle Duke.

If theres hangover after a loss & getting to play Manny, then theres far bigger issues going on.
 
Would anyone here be shocked in all honesty if we did. We’ve played 1 complete game in our last 4 and looked to be shell shocked for a half on how to operate without 1. It’s certainly in the cards to drop a game to Duke.
