App State was an accurate passer away from winning that game.

Michigan State isn’t going to make the same mistakes App State did. This game is easily a toss up. In fact, I think MSU beats Miami.

I'll admit, App State would've beat us if they had better play from the QB.

I don't care how many points we win by but we're not losing to MSU. Call me a blindass fan or out of touch but I don't see us losing to MSU at home.

The offense needs to pull its head out of its ***. King, The Oline and Lashlee need to show up and score points. I don't see us stopping MSU's run game so the burden will on our offense to lead us like we all anticipated coming into the year.

Sad to say but the defense will be a struggle all year. Dline and LB play is what it is. Even the backend, outside of Rique, has been a disappointment

Have you seen MSU play a snap this year? Next week, you will take the red pill and awaken.
 
Central Conn is a tossup. Duke is a likely loss (end of season when everyone has given up on the way to the toilet bowl).

There are no likely wins anymore.

What type of *** *** post is this? You probably meant to post this on the Seminole board.

We almost started 0-2. If App state would’ve beaten us it would’ve been called an upset. Now you think a Division I team like Michigan State is going to be an inferior team to App state? We’re not beating UVA, Pitt, Vtech and UNC the way we’ve been playing. The rest of the schedule is a toss up.

I have no issue with your reasoning but my issue was with you declaring an outright loss for us. *uck that, MSU has to come see us. We're playing way below our ability right now. If we were playing crisp games and still struggling to beat teams like App State then I'll be more worried but we're playing like ****. Kind of twisted to think about it that way but there's hope.

UVA - toss up - win
UNC - loss
NC State - loss
Pitt - win

Would be pretty surprised if a team from East Lansing, Michigan wins a noon game in Miami in early September. But I think App State and Michigan State are just about equivalent teams, so anything can happen. I hope it's 110 on the field on Saturday afternoon. I hope they bring enough IV bags.

I've always thought cold and snow were more a factor than heat and humidity.

BYU, UNLV, Arizona, and Arizona St would be dominant.

Well southern teams rarely play well in the snow. What are the Dolphins and Canes records in below 40 degree games the past 20 years? I know it's not good, to say the least.

But you can get warm and stay warm when you play in the cold. You can't run from SFL humidity. There's nothing you can do. It's a major advantage to play these teams from up north early in the year, IMO. Especially at noon or 3:30. You're going to see a lot of cramping in the 2nd half from the dudes in white and green. I've been to a lot of games in Miami in my lifetime, and my old seats at the OB were behind the visitor's bench. It used to look like an ICU unit sometimes with all the kids laid out and exhausted. I hope we can use it to our advantage and be fresher late in the game.
