Pittsburgh

Will be opportunities for big plays since Narduzzi loves those hot eyes pressures and you can scheme up shots vs match quarters. Beck carved that **** up, I expect skittish Mensah to do the same.

You should be. Remember during the 2017 season when Virginia came in a week after the ND game and ran all over our secondary? We had to come from behind.

I don’t like this at all.

I remember their QB started the game with 13 completions on 13 attempts.
 
This game is honoring our beloved 01 Canes so I hope attendance and energy is better than your average noon kick off against Pitt, right? And we’ll be wearing the adidas throwbacks + we’re #1 for the first time in 24 years?

I hope those factors mean we won’t come out sluggish, but who knows.

Pitt destroyed our last undefeated season with a #2 ranking (2017), I pray to god we don’t let them hang around to ruin this.
 
Pitt’s rush defense is stout. But their pass defense has holes all over the place. BC threw for 300. Pitt’s secondary can be had vs Toney and co. Up front, although they do stop the run, they are mid when it comes to rushing the passer.

Offensively,. Like other said, they are starting their 2nd team QB. And they turn it over a lot.

We should roll and continue to get closer to getting some key guys back for us.

You make a good point brother. The crowd and team should be ready from the jump because of the festivities. We are honoring our last title team while at the same team being ranked #1 since 2002. Combine all that with an FSU wake up call, zero reasons to come out flat

What’s crazy is the game Mensah had last night would have been considered elite by Miami standards from 2003-2023

Agreed Mensah had good numbers for the whole game. But everybody now expecting a 90% completion rate. He did force a couple and just had a few bad throws. Listen to the ex QB's that announce the games. What Mensah was doing is hard to do against air let alone in a real game. His numbers had to come down against better teams.
 
I think we roll ngl. We are not happy about that FSU performance and will come out angry.

I'm very concerned about this UNC game. I have had that one circled all year long. Bellicheat sneakily has a good team and I worry about the kind of defensive gameplans he can concoct. Just gotta go 1-0
 
Canes fans will show up and the team will be ready to roll. Great weather too for tailgating. Not another home game for 2 weeks. Can’t wait. LETS GO CANES!

Which is why, deep inside, Mario probably loved the way the FSU game played out.

I really hope that’s not true. Thought we played a terrible game. It wasn’t unlucky or ‘whoops TOs.’ We got beaten in multiple areas for reasons that follow teams into subsequent games.

Think some failed to watch Daniels prior to our game. He is one panicky QB and struggles with any processing. We let him off his hook.
 
IMO that game has 42-14, written all
over it. Miami will see/hear all the criticism all week enough to keep them focused.
Not to mention Mario 👀
 
We should be worried about facing teams with elite receiver talent. FSU has that and they exploited our depleted secondary. I don't believe either Pitt or UNC have elite receivers but I may be mistaken.
