Today in Trailernasty, uh, I mean Tallahassee, your Miami Hurricanes face their first true test of the season when they will face off against the Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium at 3:30 PM.
I am here to tell you that this game will not be close and that the Hurricanes will beat the Seminoles in convincing fashion by 20 points or more. My actual score prediction for the game is 34-13.
Today you will get to see UM Head Coach Mark Richt and his merry band of warriors unleash the beast and show you the fans, the Seminoles and really the entire National TV audience what we all have been missing early this season.
There are secrets galore in store for the Seminoles and for Hurricane fans who attend or watch this much anticipated game. Forget what you have seen and what you think you might have learned about this UM football team in 2017.
Set aside your angst over slow starts and conservative play calling on offense.
Let go of your concerns over the UM defense not being aggressive enough.
And remember that things are not always as they seem my friends.
So just sit back, have your adult beverage of choice, and enjoy the ride.
Today Miami is going to show you that Hurricane football can be fun again.

Posted by: 86Cane | October 08, 2017 at 12:11 AM
Agreed. The good thing about Herbstreit is he will change his mind if presented with evidence that refutes his positions. Some of those SEC honks on CBS are just plain biased. All UM has to do is win and this point is moot.
Go 'canes!!
Posted by: Sarasota 'cane | October 08, 2017 at 12:26 AM
VT has an easy road to Charlotte with the exception of the UM game. GT has a really tough schedule and is likely to lose 2 ACC games before it's said and done. UM can lose one ACC game and still punch their ticket so long as they beat VT. We'll know next week what this team is made of.

Which ankle? Looks like they're both dinged up now. Agreed though that he need to sit until he heals a bit. GT is gonna be tougher than people think. The had two weeks to prepare and they're playing good. That Triple Option peaks every 3-4 years and they are definitely on an up-cycle.

Agreed!!! Play for the moment. If you fall short you can always double back and play for the tie!! If Coach plays for that tie it comes down to a coin toss.
Quwstion, if the had called him down at the 1, would they have enforced the unsportsmanlike penalty and brought it out to the 15.5 yard line?

UMIKE spot on brother i said the same Homer’s pace is big time, why run walton on one leg when Homer has proven he can play!!!!
Posted by: UpNorthCane27 | October 07, 2017 at 09:05 PM
Walton is the emotional leader of the team, but he is dinged up. If Walton doesn't get healthy soon, Homer will see more and more carries. Homer saw a little more carries at the end of the FSU game.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | October 07, 2017 at 09:02 PM
Jaquan JOHNSON had 12 tackles. JJ had a great game, but the LBs and the other safety needs to get more tackles
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | October 07, 2017 at 08:56 PM
Homer needs more carries.

Posted by: His Royal Dudeness | October 07, 2017 at 07:55 PM
Definitely dude.
But did you notice that as soon as Herndon caughtwo straight passes for first downs, Mark got his first big run of the game.
Herndon opens up EVERYTHING.
He can carry us to the acccg and.a strong showing against clemson.
Posted by: TruCane81 | October 07, 2017 at 08:15 PM
Hopefully this gives us that EDGE we have been missing.

But there is still hesitation in the swag.
Wins like this will make us more like the killers of college football
Posted by: TruCane81 | October 07, 2017 at 08:11 PM
Langham has played bigger.
Cager needs more mentally. He looks more athletic and smoother but less graceful and physical at attacking the ball. Probably pressing too hard and playing out of control. Does not look very strong either.
Langham makes tough catches deep in tight coverage. He needs more of thse deep heaves going his way.

Posted by: 1mg of Epi | October 07, 2017 at 07:58 PM
Berrios was huge, and showed us what he is made of. No doubt. But langham surprised me. Langham didnt have the 4-5 stars coming out of high school like Cager, but he has worked hard and improved. Langham fought for the ball against one of the best CBs in college football, on the biggest stage and at the biggest moment. Langham has earned more minutes. Langham deserves more reps

Posted by: 1mg of Epi | October 07, 2017 at 07:43 PM
Lost in humiliating fashion.
Brad always had the rug pulled out from under him when it was time to take the next step.
But you gotta play the cards you are dealt.
Rosier is better in this system.
Run 2016 Pitt offense Brads four years, he would arguably be the best qb in school history, cement shoes and all.

The announcers said it 3 times. The first half we used the same route combos over and over and allowed the d to sit.
We don't have a talent deficit. We have a gameplan deficit.
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | October 07, 2017 at 07:49 PM
We need more drag and crossing routes cause teams are keying the the run and deep outside passing.
I love both these elements but with our talent.deficiencies we have to open them up with the dink and dunk.
We are UNSTOPPABLE when we use the short middle.
When will coach believe his eyes?

Rosier didn’t have a great game, but he has already accomplished something Brad Kaaya never did - he beat FSU, beat FSU in his first start and beat FSU on the road. Rosier even completed a comeback, last minute drive for a TD with less than two minutes left. Way to go!
