Game Day: Miami vs Florida State

So here we go again.

Rivalry week: Miami vs Florida State.

Wide right, wide right, wide left...wide right.

Now I know what you are thinking.

Sure, we all know that in the long running series of games between these two teams, these terms have come into play many times and often had a direct impact on determining the game and the season for both squads.

But we are not talking about FSU's kicking game but Miami's. This year it is Miami's kickers that are seriously suspect going into this ACC rivalry game.

Still we don't think that the kicking game will even come into play this year in Tallahassee. Or as some people call it Trailernasty.

We think that the 'Canes will dominate the 'Noles. 

Canespace Prediction: UM 34 - FSU 13

1?

[AeroCane]

Go Canes
IMO this game makes or breaks the season

[alpine]

is there a backstory to this 34-13 thing-y?

or was that a random nut you fond and are running with?

[alpine]

^^"found"

[alpine]

oh, did i win some kind of lotto by being poster numbers 1, 3 and 4?
i ask, 'cause those are the only 3 numbers in your prediction (34-13)

[VfB_Cane]

If anything, the Canes should win this one for UMike and his family!
Of course, a collage football game is trivial compared to the way too early loss of a family member, but when tragedy strikes, you'll gladly cling to any source of joy you can find.

[AeroCane]

Al - you need to get a life! Lol

[alpine]

i don't know about you all, but i miss those days of yore, when we'd maybe play against a heisman trophy candidate and/or top 5 team . . . and i would seldom have any real doubts that we would win

now i'm like a 3-yr. old in a haunted house, where i'm easily spooked
. . . it's not just a cam akers breaking thru our tacklers nightmare, i'm even afraid that we'll make one or both of their QB's look all-world

okay, excuse me while i sit and "aum" for a while

[alpine]

aero, don't you know it!

1993: The Alabama Crimson Tide won 34-13 over the Miami Hurricanes to win the national championship.

Just kidding - in reality, this 34-13 thing has been going on for quite a while. Found one from 2017:
https://canespace.typepad.com/canespace/2017/10/prediction-canes-will-wreck-tech-34-13.html

However, the Canes have rarely lived up to Soup's unwavering optimism when predicting this score. Then again, in the glory days, a 34-13 prediction would have been considered blasphemy.

Totally random nut I found. Predicting these games is basically impossible so I just found a score I liked and could remember and I am sticking to it.

Takes the stress out of it and I figure that one day it will be correct. Kind of like "even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Acting like you KNOW that the game will end 27-24 or 24-21 or 31-30 or 28-17 is just crazy talk anyway.

[AeroCane]

86
Makes sense
It’s like Go and big windy predicting the W every week since the Shannon days - once in a blue moon they’ll be right! Lol

Forgive me today - I had back surgery and am on plenty of meds!

[VfB_Cane]

Forgive me today - I had back surgery and am on plenty of meds!

Posted by: AeroCane | November 02, 2019 at 01:32 PM

Minus the back surgery (speedy recovery!) that sounds like an experienced Canes fan's game day preparation lol.

[alpine]

vfb & 86, tip o' the cap + dankeschön!

[Terrance M Sullivan]

Ha I will second the Soupster Prediction of this Craptacular Game 34-13 Miami.

[mi@]

I hope our d has their break out game. We need our d today. No excuses.

[mi@]

58 is coming with us today

[VA Cane]

Well its on ABC so I guess we have to watch it...no ACC network here in VA with my Carrier. It was cold here last night had beer on ice and the rest just left in the case pack....all outside...it was like 35!! Great outdoor cooler!!

I never predict games....I really do not care for substance....or execution of Fundamentals...(for you Alpi...and I do like Alpi much better than AlPa lol....).....All I can ask or say is Just win Baby thanks Al Davis!!!!

We need this one smartly

[mi@]

We have open receivers. We need Williams to make great decisions. Throw in the red zone.

[mi@]

One ESPN 3 too

[Sarasota 'cane]

Wow almost forgot about the tumbler drawing.

1st one to post at 3:15 pm wins it!

KY Cane is my Canespace Legend winner.

Let's kick some nole azz today. There is no tomorrow!

Go 'canes!

[86Cane]

Ha I will second the Soupster Prediction of this Craptacular Game 34-13 Miami.

And so it is written, and so it shall come to pass.

[VA Cane]

The ball will need to get out quick....and we need to run it with success to slow that front up. Short precise quick passing...run north south....soften them up.
We need to play good STs cannot have stupid mistakes and penalties, block and tackle be aware of down and distance execute fundamentals!!!
W#hat the hell Am I saying.....do we ever do those things?

[Old Skool]

Since it's the Noles, let's kick em in the balls. The pain from ass kickings goes away too quickly. Let the pain linger and make them walk funny for a long while.

[AeroCane]

I predict we see some Tate at qb today
And I agree Mia - need our D to really step up big time

[VA Cane]

Nice gesture as always Sota.....I love mine...one for coffee one for beer!!!!

[solarcane]

21 14 Canes

[mi@]

Noles have wandies physical prep. Bunch of dough boys in the trenches. We must dominate the 4th q.

[Mi@]

We need UCF offense. That is all

[mi@]

Can our Cam do better than their Cam?

[AeroCane]

No
But our LL can!!

[Notaloser@miami.edu]

Posted by: solarcane | November 02, 2019 at 03:35 PM
Lol solar. It's pure hate today I'm bringing 58.

[VA Cane]

bubble screen crap again...not a fan

we cannot convert 3rds

[mi@]

Nix. O

[AeroCane]

Manny and enos are too conservative
We should be in shot gun going rpo fast
I don’t understand

[mi@]

Do we have an offense

[solarcane]

Enos moves the formation all over and ends up in the same screen pass the noles are set to defend.

[Sarasota 'cane]

VFB Cane with the win!

Lemme know if you want the U logo or Ibis tumbler. Send your name and address to Soup and I'll order it Monday.

Dame to you Ky cane.

[mi@]

First thing the new o cord. Should hate is bubble screen. A wasted play just like running in red zone

[solarcane]

Osborn great block

[mi@]

Throw on first this guy waste plays

[solarcane]

It worth his weight in gold?

[AeroCane]

Very nice!

[Sarasota 'cane]

Oh yeah!

Go 'canes!

[mi@]

Thommmmmaaaadssswoo [ooo. Hate yes

[VfB_Cane]

That's the play we've been waiting for all year. A deppe pass to Thomas who beats coverage with his speed.

[nemo2002]

Jeff Thomas is BAAAAAAAAK

[solarcane]

Williams feeling it sully,credit where credit is do

[VfB_Cane]

should be "deep pass" ...

[toledocane]

We're gonna win this sucker if 4 is into the game

[mi@]

3 steps on the day back. How bout someone over the top. Pleasssseeeee

[86Cane]

Nice gesture as always Sota.....I love mine...one for coffee one for beer!!!!

Posted by: VA Cane | November 02, 2019 at 02:06 PM

Me too! I have one at work and one at home. I get asked about the one at work all the time!

[86Cane]

Big play and score updates please...

[VfB_Cane]

@ Sota: Thanks for your generosity. I'd go with the U Logo.

Logistics might be a little difficult though, as I'm based in Europe and won't be in the States till April.

[solarcane]

We should kill these guys the way they are playing

[AeroCane]

Don’t jinx it solar!

[VfB_Cane]

Canes force a punt with two sacks (Pinckney & Rousseau), get the ball at the 35 leading 7-0 with about 5 min to go 1st qtr.

[VA Cane]

Very nice TD....that looked good execute block throw catch score EZ huh?

[solarcane]

Posted by: AeroCane | November 02, 2019 at 04:02 PM

I hear ya

[86Cane]

Who is this Rousseau that you speak of? I thought that was a French philosopher or painter?

[solarcane]

Inspector Rousseau

[VfB_Cane]

Rousseau: A guy the coaches seeingly wanted to save for the 2nd half of the season, when the games really matter. But then ...

[solarcane]

Hornibrook thinking he is back at Wisconsin, need to knock him down a couple times

[VfB_Cane]

We either make the play at or behind the line of scrimmage or it's a first down. The secondary just doesn't make plays on a consistent basis.

[VA Cane]

Nice stand by D good effort

[mi@]

Leaving the qb expose. We should blow him up

[mi@]

Can't let the qb outside the pocket. We're is the d end?

[VfB_Cane]

7-3 Canes as the Noles score on a 37-yard FG. Had 1st & goal at the 9, so it's sort of a moral victory for the Canes.

[AeroCane]

This is a huge series for the O

[IraqiCane]

Damnit

[AeroCane]

I’ve said it since the gator game
Williams is NOT the answer
I’d rather see Tate but we will need to wait til van dyke next year
It’s just so clear that he just doesn’t have the ‘it’ needed to play qb

[mi@]

So much for offense. Same old sorry coaching. Rather have Briles

[AeroCane]

Turnover?!

[VfB_Cane]

William would be an above average QB (but never a great one) with some halfway decent pass protection. But given the constant pressure, he's not the guy to bail us out.

[solarcane]

Bandy about to murder someone

[alpine]

it used to seem as if anything thrown to osbourne would be caught
. . . but the last 2 games he seems very mortal

[AeroCane]

Vfb
I disagree
No ability to read the D and no agression what so ever

[mi@]

Defense should be getting one from the offense. The o is stealing.

[VA Cane]

FSU 8 penalties with that last one....got to take advantage of bad football....we have been ok so far...keep grinding need a TD....no kicks today....

[VfB_Cane]

Great field position to start the drive. Let's if we can get something going.

[86Cane]

7-3 Canes as the Noles score on a 37-yard FG. Had 1st & goal at the 9, so it's sort of a moral victory for the Canes.

Posted by: VfB_Cane | November 02, 2019 at 04:30 PM

So FSU gets 10 more points that;s all. Miami can score 27 more and I will be cool with that.

[m8@]

Always throwing into coverage cause they know what we are doing. Motion means nothing

[VfB_Cane]

Posted by: AeroCane | November 02, 2019 at 04:41 PM

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Williams fan either. It's just if I had to fix the offense, I'd start with the OL, unless we have a superman QB with Houdini-like qualities waiting in the wings.

[solarcane]

Kosi

[AeroCane]

Time to put perry in

[mi@]

We either throw a bad pass or we drop the ball since the first drive.

[IraqiCane]

Its a comedy of errors.

[VfB_Cane]

Williams fumble in what might have been FG range (maybe not for our kickers).

[AeroCane]

More importantly he had Plenty of time to throw it away

[mi@]

Our offense is embarrassing

[IraqiCane]

Nice
