Desmond Howard thinks Miami can run the table this year

For the Coastal? No doubt. For The Big One? Afraid not my man. Not enough depth especially along the lines and LB position among a few other things. Check back around '24, IMO.

All due respect, Desmond always goes homerism with Miami and has for years now. Trying to do the old Herbstreit play from decades back.

Dez loves us. If we win at A&M though this season can get reallllly interesting.

We could beat A&M and Clemson... That'll be the only 2 games we're not favored for and you just never know the impact coaching can have on a roster.

We have a top 3 QB..oline play will be significantly improved and we're deep and talented at TE and RB.

On defense, the transfers and coaching will make a significant improvement over last year.

I think we'll have a better chance against A&M than Clemson but we could beat Clemson if they don't get their QB situation figured out.

I don't expect us to go undefeated either but it's not outlandish.

 

[Juanka]

We have the QB to do it. We must remain close in big games, and anything can happen.

I can see our TEs and RBs balling out this year.

 

[Cover 3]

We lose 5 games every year lol

 

[Crystal Ball]

god i cant wait for this entire board to call for marios head after that first loss

 

[BeachCanes]

Des had us in the CFP 3 years ago too lol…

He would have been close in 2017. Just had to win at Pitt the last game of the season and I'd say we'd have had decent odds to get into the playoffs even with a loss to Clemson in the ACC Championship game.

Desmond Howard thinks

Not from what I've seen or heard

 

[AtlAtty]

I was at Michigan when Desmond won the Heisman. He’s a good guy who has lived in S Fla for a long time, attends UM practices and generally supports our program. So what’s wrong with that?
FYI, after he picked UM as his sleeper, Robert Griffin picked USC. Let’s see which one made the better prediction.

If we had this year’s team with last year’s schedule I’d believe it

I actually like our chances against AM. Best WR out, breaking in a new QB… TVD gonna solidify his 1st RD stock with this game

 

[filmcane]

Last year had BAMA on the schedule. That would probably still be an L, but Clemson and A&M are winnable.

It's true. We go into that cowtown and win that one game then suddenly there is going to be a ton of talk about us as a potential CFP team. That's what they do. It will be fools gold though, we're not talented and deep enough yet to win week in and week out over the course of a 13 game schedule IMO. But I am looking forward to watching a real football program again, finally. Year 1.

That wasn't actually what he said. The question was who ends their drought first. He said us. Then they ran with the whole this season thing because Mario was doing an interview.

Oh I agree 100% it would be fools gold but the hype it would bring would be incredible especially if we could skate to Clemson with a 0 in the loss column lol I’m getting ahead of myself but thats what being a fan is about I suppose.

 

[Canes Stan]

Too many question marks imo. I predict we’ll spend a few Saturdays talking about how this team is learning to win and potential. But we have an elite player at the most important position, so you never know.
