Possible Miami vs Bama matchup??

[mackjones]

I can see it now. Vegas comes out with an opening line of Roll Tide, Roll... - 14 1/2. OUCH. Then the smart money Wise Guys jack up the line to... - 16 1/2. And by game time the line is... Roll Tide - 17.

Bama 47-10

I can SEE-r Lord Saban's team winning by four or five touchdown's. Again, Miami doesn't need this type of game to send the Senior's out on, and to finish the season on a downside bummer.

This would be the first time ever Bama would not be in the playoff. They are already down Tua and you have to think a lot of guys leaving for the league would sit this one out.

Enos would want to show up Bama the way he showed up Central Michigan. He might even crack the 20 point barrier this time.

That's a distinct possibility, dude.

Bama’s scout team beats this Miami team. Get your heads out of your asses

We'd get our shxt pushed in, come on now. This would not be a good look for the program.

Pro:

- if we finish the season with a lot of momentum, there is no doubt in my mind that our guys, especially our seniors, will come ready to play. They will be really motivated to salvage the season and make a statement. On the flip side, I don’t think Bama would be excited to play us and might play deflated. However, them playing deflated is still better than any team we played all year.

Con:

- I still don’t think we’re ready for a team like that. And if we lose, or even get blown out, then it totally destroys the momentum we’ve built to end the season.

A one loss team versus a FOUR loss team in a major bowl??

and IF it did......Bama would crush us.....we're just not ready now to compete at that level....maybe sometime down the road...but not now

They would be missing half their team. So it’s no big deal when you win, and even more embarrassing if you lose.

Y’all really think beating their backups means anything? The media would laugh if someone asked how did Bama lose to Miami. They run cover for SEC teams every bowl season.

This is something that would go across ESPN’s bottom line, “Mizzou got hammered by Oregon St bc they didn’t have anything to play for. They had playoff aspirations and it just didn’t work out.”
Yes s*** that ridiculous would be spewed over and over again by those SEC shills

Bowl games are often about who gets up for it. Playing at home (and psyched to be there) against a team upset to be there and without tua jeudy etc is an amazing opp

 

[WPB Cane]

Same Bama team that struggled with Duke til half, just without Tua and playing deflated after the LSU game. This isn’t the same Canes team from week 0, I think we give those guys a ****** game and get after whoever is their QB.

Yet uf was ranked top 10 preseason for beating Michigan team. There’s no way beating bama in a ny6 game isn’t a big boost

We would get housed so bad. No thanks.

 

[SonsofSoul]

Yeah, I think we’d match up really well with a depleted Bama - except on offense, defense, special teams and coaching. WTF, is wrong with you asswipes who think beating a few ****** weak-*** teams suddenly makes us competitive. I hope it happens just to watch this site blow the F up.

 

[kryptonite]

So a really good LSU beats bama and now they're on our level? You guys are fckin nuts.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Bama has had a history of letting up when they are in a non-playoff bowl.

This. Bama would be absolutely and completely uninterested in this game. Miami might have a chance to catch them slipping. These dudes expect to play for a natty, not a bowl game against a 4 loss team.

 

[Canegrad89]

It would primarily come down to:

1) their DL against our OL. If our RBs continued to really block hard & our TEs helped our OTs, we could hang with them;
2) tackling really well against a physical team;
3) Enos opening up the playbook & not being conservative (which would result in a loss as they would crowd the box & make things really hard for us); and
4) making FGs.

If Duke hung with them for a half, there's no reason we couldn't but the team & the City would have to really bring it.

 

[Genghis Cane]

So if we win you're all saying you'll be the gaytors of last year saying Look who we beat! that everyone criticized them for all off season .And the rest of the country will be saying, "Yeah, cuz Tua didn't play, the team didn't care, and half the good players sat out so they weren't hurt for the draft." Got it.

Even with all that being true, it would still be an impressive win.

I wouldn't mind that matchup but I have a feeling their d-line would butt fück our o-line on national tv
