I have a sneaky suspicion we win the game.
Big games are won when your best player helps you win the game. Duke will get his yards. Duke is number 7 in rushing yards with 1213 yards. Karlos Williams is 110 with 520 yards. Yearby is 157th with 421 yards. Dalvin Cook is 161st with 416 yards. Miami averages 199.3 yards per game rushing. FSU averages 129.9 yards per game rushing. We have a huge advantage in the running game.
In pass efficiency, Kaaya is 11th with 2087 yards, with 20 tds and 9 ints and a 157.6 QBR. Winston is 21st with 2540 yards, with 17 tds and 11 ints, and a 150.8 QBR. I don't see this matchup as much more than a draw. Both guys will make their plays and a mistake here or there.
So if Miami can run, can FSU defend it? Rushing defense stats. Miami - 31st, allowing 131.9 yards a game on the ground. FSU - 35th allowing 135.7 yards per game. In the games I have watched FSU this year, it seems they are more vulnerable to the run compared to the last few years.
So if Miami and FSU can pass, who can defend better? Miami is 18th in pass efficiency defense, allowing 9 touchdowns with 8 ints and a 107 rating. FSU is 65th in pass efficiency defense, allowing 15 tds to 9 ints and a 126.8 rating. Miami is 11th in total defense and FSU is 49th.
Stats are just stats and all but some of them seem to favor us.
I like our chances.

Preach.
Every bad idea in the history of the universe has been scientifically proven to have originated from Florida State.

Any Dolphin predictions for tonight? Buffalo has had Miami's # for so long now that I never go into this game "knowing" the Dolphins will win. It's uncanny. The Dolphins had all the tools to beat the Bills earlier this year and then...they lost!!
I feel really good about their chances tonight but I've said that soooooooooo many times since 1985 that I can't pull the trigger and guarantee a win!
Anywho, Go Dophins!!!!!

She's certainly colorful. I wonder whether the various recruiters keep track of her Twitter feed, and what they must think.

Tannehill could have easily run for first down. Instead, he throws a shltty pass. His decision making and intellect have always been suspect.

It was cool to watch tonight's game thinking that in two days...THE REAL GAME BEGINS.
SEE Jaemis Winston throw not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but eight interceptions in the first half!
SEE Jimbo Fischer break out into a fever sweat as his dreams of a national championship ebb away. And strangely, Sunlife Stadium seems to morph into the contours of the old, beloved Orange Bowl.
SEE Duke Johnson rush for over 150 yards and two scores on a tired FSU defense, that has never seen the likes of this level of competition throughout the year.
CRINGE as Joe Theisman call for Miami to call off its season...because they were too dominant tonight and that was just not fair!
WITNESS Brad Kayaa throw for over 300 yards and three scores, and immediately make himself the frontrunner for the 2016 Heisman trophy.
LAUGH as banner planes fly over Sun Life with the message "Save the Seminoles - Bring Back Bowden"
CHEER as dozens of four and five star prospects in attendance toss aside FSU swag and race to Twitter and other online accounts to announce verbal commitments to the Hurricanes
LISTEN as far away, Terry Porter throws a yellow flag in frustration.
ROAR as the Hurricanes do as what one of their more famous alumni often says (to paraphrase), "Finally, the Canes have come back...to dominance!"

Wasn't the coach from ECU the flavor of the month on here not that long ago?
Gave up half a hundred to Cincy last night.
@ESPNCFB: FINAL: Cincinnati 54, ECU 46
Cincinnati (6-3) caps this crazy game by returning a failed lateral for a TD. http://t.co/h1hDNA3zYi
Posted by: Go Canes | November 14, 2014 at 07:20 AM
No, Ruffin McNeil was not a "flavor of the month", you know that...just like you knew Travonte Valentine isn't eligible to play this season. But go ahead and keep takin' lil' jabs to protect ya' boys incompetence last season, and early this season.
Posted by: CaneRock | November 14, 2014 at 07:40 AM
I distinctly recall a couple of posters pimping McNeil as head coach here, a couple of months back.i don't know if he's any good or not or what his overall record is, but I remember that.
Let's keep it 💯 for real.
Posted by: Lurker | November 14, 2014 at 07:46 AM
Go Canes - I do not recall the coach of ECU being a hot name on this blog. Tho it is nice to see that some of the teams we best have winning records. Improvement indeed Canes are on the up tick. Keep playing aggressive D baby! I like Kaaya a lot!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Surfercane | November 14, 2014 at 07:51 AM
Lol.

Game day eve, let's do this!!
