They could be missing up to 4 starters on offense tomorrow, not including players like Jennings and Chris Johnson, who probably shouldn’t be playing but will give it a go. Then they should be down a few others on defense.
No excuses to not cover imo, if we are who we say we are.
In the Halloween movies, Michael Meyers systematically tries to kill off his family members. Whelp look no further than the other sideline. Plenty of old Canes still lurking. Last year those castoffs played for the ACC title under our old OC while we sat home
THIS is why we finally start exorcising those November demons, beginning with SMU
Bain: If Michael Meyers played football he’d be Bain. Superhuman strength. No emotion. Endless motor. You can run from him the entire movie but he’s going to keep showing up. He will get the kill eventually. We’ve handled mobile QBs pretty well this year because of him on the edge. I expect this to continue
Lightfoot: If Slenderman played DE he’d be Lightfoot. Terrifying bend and scary talent when deployed correctly. Yeah he could add some weight but he’s more niche at the moment and plenty capable. If predicting a sack/FF in this one
Mesidor: If Jason Voorhies were a DE he’d be Mesidor. The board has killed him off so many times but he keeps getting rebooted (that’s a foot injury joke). He’s very similar to Bain just with more mileage. Somehow someway he always pops up outta nowhere to deliver the kill shot
Malachi Toney: If Art the Clown were a WR he’d be Toney. Is he supernatural? Is he a real human being? No one knows the true mythos. He may be new to the scene but he’s no less terrifying. Every game he seems to up the ante with doing absolutely disgusting things to a defense. I expect him to make us go “that’s sickening” a few more times AND ACTUALLY HOUSE A PUNT THIS WEEK
Beck: If M Night Shamalamalama was a college QB he’d be Carson Beck. He follows up absolute gems with pure flops seemingly out of nowhere. Every time he drops back to pass it’s like walking into the movie theater not knowing if you’re there for Sixth Sense or The Happening. Dude just get the ball to Bruce Willis (Toney) and let it rip
Verdict:
It’s November. It’s the road.
Watching Miami this time of the year can feel a bit like rhis:
SMU presents some challenges on offense and defense and I expect Rhett Lashlee to throw everything in the playbook at us. It might be tight at the beginning if the offense can’t set the tone
After not trailing the entire season we’ve now gone behind in 3 straight games
We are meant to be a front running team and watching us try and battle back from behind on offense has been scarier than that farmhouse scene in The Conjuring
Much like Saw X I think this game won’t be perfect but will put us back on track

Yep thats what i was sayin we need to dominate these teams **** go watch the first 10 min on the condensed game both teams are awful! SMU is especially bad up front Wake dominated them. They just did not look good bro we should beat them worse then Stanford tbh

My dear and longtime CIS friend, you know that the transitive property doesn't apply to football.
Wake had "trap game" written all over it for SMU. They were flatter than a pancake without baking soda. They scored zero points on all those turnovers. You cannot possibly expect Lashlee's offense to be that pathetic two weeks in a row, at home.
I don't think they'll put 45 on us like they did Baylor, or 35 like they did vs. Clemson. But Lashlee's going to use Brohm's playbook and I expect he'll produce something.

I’m with you. I think we see another offense empty the clip on us. It’s why I expect it a little tough sledding early on and then hopefully we take care of business. Tough to get a good handle on this team at the moment.

My half-glass-full view is that the pressure on Dawson to open up the playbook is too great for him not to. Beck handled FSU just fine before Dawson put the team in the coital position. He'll handle SMU's DBs just fine, too. And SMU's DTs are just good enough Dawson will have to design horizontal plays that stretch the field including run plays. So we'll finally see some innovation when running the ball.
Play to dominate and we'll dominate. Play not to lose and we'll lose.

My exact thoughts but will he is the question?? I went back and watched our first games this year and had a different view of this team. We were riding high going into Louisville game but all the signs were there. And still are nothing has changed. Were not going to be a playoff team running the ball up the middle like we have been a good team will shut it down. We need a 3rd receiver to step up too i like Moore and Marion but we need more. I like our Defense think were good there offense has to step up and its coaching more than personel
