MIAMI -4
- Thread starter LDB
- Start date
Miami Def. looked very atheletic and I don't think
G.T has that kind of success in the rush game this year.
IMO MIA has a BCS year....
they are much improved...
ACC is not very good....

What I took away from the Miami/FSU game was that Miami's run D seemed to hold up well until the later stages of the game. However, Ponder was picking their secondary apart the entire game. There were even parts of the 1st half when I couldn't believe FSU was calling anything other than pass plays.
If I'm right about my perceptions from that game, regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the Hurricane D, then this should be a great matchup for Miami. GT struggles mightily to throw and the speed and athleticism of the U DL should be able to contain their strong run game. However, those numbers supplied by airportis about the field day GT had on Miami last year, are a bit disconcerting.
I would look to side with the 'Canes here, based on my one look at their D, plus I was very impressed with Miami's offense (Jacory Harris, Cooper, etc.) last week and believe they will continue to shred opponents defenses this season. Wouldn't put the hammer down on it, though.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

GT really slaughtered Miami on the ground last year... the bad news for Miami is everybody is back.... the good news is everybody is back--ie, it's tough to say how much these kids have improved, although FSU was a good hint.
GT is still going to be able to run on UM, not to the tune of 500 yards, but maybe half of that. Will it be enough? Miami has tremendous skill and speed on offense and GT was not very good on D against CU--especially against the passing game.
I wouldn't feel comfortable even picking Miami just to win, especially after they narrowly escaped against FSU... I'm waiting to find out the OVER, because this should be a high-scoring game.

I know that TeeMo is on the canes as well. He's a good capper thats due to go on a run.
I think that Miami can do it although GT's Paul Johnson has done one hell of a good job. I may place a small wager on the canes myself.

i was reading Canes new D coordinator came from N.C. where the tar heels handled the option easily last season.
so that might make a difference to some...

cane's def is athletic but not very good..looking for a high scoring game and would stay away from a side..gl:00hour
i usually don't like to tell people how to bet...i figure it's their money & they should choose how to bet....but since you asked....i would never make a large wager laying points against a good rushing dog team.....history has shown that teams that can win at the line of scrimmage have a very good shot at winning....
good luck with whatever you decide...
