What would surprise you from the 2025 Miami Hurricanes?

This is not a question of what you expect to happen or want to happen. I tried to come up with a list, but very few outcomes would surprise me. Their are too many new pieces for me to definitively predict anything.

-Winning a Championship
-Losing to Bethune Cookman

 

[Golsen82]

Good prediction:
Beat ND, UF,FSU

Bad prediction:

Lose to ND,UF,FSU

Mario winning games thru proper coaching instead of losing them or playing scared (kicking field goals while your number one offense sits the bench relying on the worst defense at Miami ever). Do that and I have no bad predictions.

Beating ND AND going undefeated in ACC play.

 

[Gables Canes]

Good surprises:
- Being a low penalized team
- No poor coaching decisions that cost us games
- We have a top rushing defense

Bad surprises:
- The passing game doesn't click the way we expect
- Heathermann fails to live up the hype. The defense improves only modestly

Agreed at this point I feel like nothing surprises me with this team

We need to stop getting penalized so **** much but that’s just what Mario teams do. We need to get down to the 5 range but it would shock the **** out of me

Maybe these coaches finally get that done?

Joining the SEC would be a huge surprise. Joining the Big Ten, somewhat less of a surprise.

Also, resigning with Adidas would be a close second.

 

[QuattroCane]

Exceeding expectations, it's been too long.

Interesting question because last year, before the Syracuse game, my brother, who is a huge football fan but has no tie to UM other than me, asked me about the team, and my answer was that nothing would surprise me. 'We can lose to Syracuse by 21 points, or we can go to the national championship game. Nothing would surprise me about this team.'
This is how I view our program right now, just really high variance. At least we've got that high side now, thanks to Mario. But I would like that bottom to rise considerably.
And before anyone says pause, you need to listen to the new Ghostface Album! Iykyk!!

 

[Felonious Monk]

An invitation to watch a game in one of the suites because I bought two of the game worn jerseys.

 

[TriStarCane]

I’d be surprised if our offense was more efficient than last years…

Winning in November and clinching a playoff spot.

 

[L A M P]

I just don't see any scenario where WR isn't the weak point of the team in big games. I've read different but I don't believe it.

 

[TwentySix]

The thing I’m most sure of is the offensive line/running game will be very good to elite, so if that turned out to be average to below average I’d be shocked.

 

[TheATLCane]

our defense is better than our offense

Winning in November and clinching a playoff spot.

I was going to say undefeated in November.

 

[JamesQuall]

- Players actually living up to the hype
- Less penalties overall
- Making it to the ACCCG/ Playoffs
- Not fumbling away 1-3 games against teams we have no business losing to.

 

[Old Cane]

I’m so conditioned to being disappointed I’d be surprised if I’m not disappointed

 

[kccanefan]

I'd be surprised if we don't **** the bed in November.

 

[FuriousStyles]

Stagnant or regressed coaching.

Surprised…worse nightmare… whatever
