By this reasoning, shouldn't we be winless this year?
Not beating their three deep?
I like our shot against a QB that's not even listed on the 3-deep.
Jeff George's son walked on last year.
On their D-line, after you get through the 4 frosh, a senior, and a soph on the 2-deep, you're left with a freshman NG.
Backer will be a little light as well.
Saban, the god, will have to use his creativity and move some athletes at WR over to play DB
and employ a 1-1-9 base D.
With zero pass rush and a makeshift defensive backfield that doesn't have a clue on how to defend a thing called the forward pass,
I think we'll have a shot, or, at least cover the spread.
Back to serious.
We've had "problems" vs good D lines.
Playing Clemson in the ACCCG would have let us know if we've really improved there.
Thinking Miami would win is not looking at the game with tangible data.
It would have the feel of the FSU/Bama game a few years back, IMO.
Our shot would be a disinterested Bama with nothing to prove and Miami with everything to prove, and, the "any given day" angle.
I do like the 1-1-9 base D.
As ferocious as it is legendary.
No way in **** Miami today beats a team of Bama's recruiting class.
I don't know if people can see how destructive and exposing the loss to GT was.
We will know more about how deeply the rot runs these next few games and into bowl matchup.
GT L appears to be catastrophic set back for program.
They have to get mad and get over it, but setback it was.
