Actually, you're 100% wrong. LSU is going to be a very physical game, just like our games with FSU are.
Guys are going to get hurt and beat up. It's incredibly helpful to basically have that rest week right after LSU. It would make less sense if we opened with FIU or Toledo, but even then, again we're going to play a FCS team regardless.
I'll never get why some fans want the OOC to be 4 elite teams. People claim they want Miami to win National Championships, well then learn from Saban and schedule like he does. If Bama can play 1 decent team and 3 easy games, including a FCS, why cant we?
Oh, and check UGA's OOC this year. If that were our OOC, there would be a meltdown. Yet UGA fans love it because that soft schedule almost guarantees them a playoff spot
