Turnovers and kicking key tomorrow...

The ST's will be crucial..
Our kicking game has to be flawless, and if we are even close, we need to consistently, put those points on the board. With the game on the line, it WILL make a difference.
We can't leave anything hanging.........get those **** points on ALL turnovers.

We took a few chances against fsPOO going for it on 4th downs where we could have easily gotten 3 points. Do we take the 3 against Clemson or continue to take chances?

Syracuse is an outlier but in that time span you have three of the best defenses in colleg football yearly. And then Syracuse and then I’d say a tier 2 defense in our canes

Turnovers and penalties will determine the game IMO.

All depends on the flow of the game snd the push our line generates. Against our previous three opponents we were getting push

If we're settling for field goals, we'r enot gonna win the game. Obviously if it's fourth an long, we should kick but we need 6's not 3's if we're going to pull the upset.

Will Lawrence feast on our LB corps? The big determinant for me in whether this is a close game or not.

Seems like Lashlee is not going to change his aggressiveness just for Clemson.

Completely depends on the flow of the game. If we're up 6 and can get a FG to push it to 9, you might want to take it. Sure we don't want to settle for FGs all game long, but in a close game 3 points is far better than none.

Last 2 meetings are 96-3 score line combined. I'm just hoping it's close.

IMO, Lashlee vs Venables is the matchup difference here. If Lash out-schemes him, we can win.

We could not fall on the opportunities created last time we played.. We have to capitalize if we want to have a chance..

I hope these are the Rings we use this weekend for TDs

 

[Goulds Cane]

I'm surprised Syracuse is that high

 

[TemplarCane]

The only FG we settle for is Jose B’s 55-yarder with :02 on the clock to win the game 45-44....

If the forecast is anything close to accurate, there may not be a field goal made by either team tomorrow night.

 

[Colombie]

We now have an offense that can cash in on the TOs.

Getting TOs is nice but scoring off of them is more important.

^This^. Against the last seven ranked teams Miami has played it has scored a grand total of 3 points from 11 forced turnovers. According to the “Points Off Turnovers Efficiency” metric, since 2017 Miami ranks 120th!
