GT (+10.5) at Miami

[Vespidae]

Seems like the O took some time to wake up after the last bye week, iirc. I hope history doesn't repeat; can't afford that this week.

I agree. The good thing is that CPJ said as much, so I'm hopeful he's got them tuned in.

line is moving towards miami from 6 to 7. Not sure what the whales are doing. I can tell you, Miami has not been good for GT of late. I wouldn't touch this game.

2-7 against Richt is a stat I don't like.

 

[Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau]

If you go back and look through Miami's recruiting classes, there are only 3 RBs left on their roster. All are 3* recruits - no highly rated ones left. So they are either really thin there, or else there are walk-ons or transfers that aren't reflected in their recruiting class listings.

But even so, Walton only had like 12 carries in the game (he was injured late). So expect to see tons and tons and tons of passing against us. Their run game might be solely Rosier.

Holding the ball and keeping Rosier on the sidelines is the key. FSU had some success running against Miami. This is not impossible.

Miami had lost the previous 7 games to FSU before Saturday. Long story short, it doesn't matter how we've previously played at Miami during CPJ's tenure. When the ball is kicked off Saturday afternoon, those previous games will have ZERO effect on the game's outcome.

If you think history has any effect on a current game, the two times CPJ has beaten dah U, GT was coming off of a bye week. Looks like we are winning come Saturday.

Maybe I'm terrible at analyzing football but I don't see the big fuss over Miami being so dominant. They are a very very beatable team. Some of you act like we're playing Bama Saturday

 

[Techster]

Miami is definitely beatable...

...but our bad juju against Miami AND Richt makes me nervous.

I'll just leave these here to make me feel better about Saturday:

Yes, I agree they’re beatable but my point is we very rarely do beat them and haven’t yet at their place under CPJ. They are our nemisis and we usually lay a big turd in our drawers when we play them. Hope Miami monkey jumps off our back Sat

I feel like Benson would be #1 if we played UCF

BTW...that's for RBs. Taquan Marshall is actually the ACC overall rushing leader.

Ahead of everyone TQM with 523 yards

Wow ... time to end this popularity contest !! 3:30 on ABC, should be a lot of people watching.

Well all our wins over Richt-coached teams were away, so...win?

For those worrying about our past losses at d'oh U, all 17 intelligence agencies agree that it was the RUSSIANS.

If the officials don't act against their own voice and call the game well, we'll be fine.

Guys, point of order here. My parents always taught me to show respect to authority when I was growing up. The FBI refers to Miami as "University-7". I think it should be incumbent upon us all to refer to them henceforth as University-7.

The only thing that's going to make me upset about our W is the narrative is already being set.

 

[Jmonty71]

Jackets open as 10.5 point underdogs to Miami.

Other games:

• Clemson (-21) @ Syracuse... Friday night... Clemson's last game before GT on 10/28
• UVA (-3.5) @ UNC
• NC State (-10) @ Pittsburgh
• FSU (-8) @ Duke

I think GT upsets Thug U. 33-24
Clemson will cruise 51-10
UVA may edge UNC. 34-31
NC State will whip up on Pitt. 44-17
FSU will crush Duke 38-17

Just my 2 pennies.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Or something like that.

 

[GTJake]

FSU will crush Duke 38-17

It will be interesting to see how Jimbo Fisher and FSU respond to 1-3 and 1-2 record in the ACC ...

Well, we beat the dog snot out of Tennessee, but they got the win. So we'll just call it even if we can win this one.

I don't care how it happens or the circumstances regarding it, I just want the good guys to leave Miami with the W.
