What is your bases of thinking we win big? People said the same thing when we played GT.

Bye weeks, especially when a team is undefeated, contribute to complacency. In a normal week, there isn't time to relax and read puff pieces about the team. I'm less concerned about the effort coming off the Clemson win than I would coming out of a bye. I think we cover.
 
Yeah I wouldn’t touch that line. I don’t think we play with enough tempo or explosiveness to beat any ACC team by that large of a margin unless we’re the beneficiaries of multiple turnovers. I imagine the QB situation will be another game time decision as well. We should win but I’m expecting another tight game.

one game against GT where we had 4 egregious turnovers and we got caught sleeping after a bye and a week before UNC?

good teams get caught sleeping typically once (sometimes twice) per season when looking ahead.

I'd be more worried against NC state with FSU looming ahead than against UVA. they just beat UNC and are riding high, and our players just got rejuvenated and back on track.

Ever heard of starting QB? Im not sure our backup can get us 17.5.

My basis is we have generally played down to opponents level no matter the ranking.

Depending on who the QB is the offensive game plan could be just as vanilla as we saw against Clemson.

Handling success has not been something Miami does well. I would like to see it happen against UVA before I can say we have turned a corner.

Mario's in game decision making has left a lot to be desired. We can not overlook any opponent left of this schedule they can all easily beat us.

So throw some money on UVA at +17.5. Vegas is begging you to take them

I wouldn’t touch it but also thought Clemson would cover -6.5 vs a first time starter freshman QB lol so I don’t know shut about gambling
 
UVA RB Mike Hollins had three rushing TDS and fumbled a 4th in the end zone. The DL is going to have to be stout again...

The Canes aren’t good enough is to take any ACC opponent for granted! JUST WIN BABY! That Al Davis quote never gets old

they would be more dangerous if they were 0-6

it's pretty cyclical in college football - teams overlook ****** opponents and bye weeks ***** teams consistently - double whammy with us and GT

and unc overlooked UVA

UVA beat UNC and Miami has already been stunned by a lower opponent so we'll be ready and I'm taking the over
