Listen I come in peace not looking to trash talk. Here's to a great game and zero injuries to either team.
It's interesting seeing the things you guys write about the game have a great day.
Glad to have you. People can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a lot of GT people believe we are in a good position to slip under the radar and potentially take a W here. Hoping that Miami gets sort of... stuck reveling in the big win over FSU and possibly overlooks us. I for one think we are better than #26, but was very happy we were not ranked this week to continue that narrative of being under the radar - for now. Obviously if we win Saturday that won't be the case anymore. How are you feeling about the game this weekend? And about the Miami team in general? Is the U truly back in your opinion, or is that yet to be seen?
To reciprocate, some more insight into GT. We have outplayed all our opponents this year pretty convincingly, but in very unfortunate fashion somehow lost our opener to Tennessee. TaQuon Marshall, the QB, has been much better than anticipated, and Kirvonte Benson the running back has filled in quite nicely after we lost Dedrick Mills due to violation of team rules (GT is transitioning from calling B-Backs and A-backs to running backs and slot backs, respectively). O-Line has had injuries, but overall played well. Most, if not all those injuries should be cleared up for the Miami game. WRs have been solid but haven't been used as much as normal, even in our offense, because it just hasn't really been needed. Ricky Juene is the biggest threat there.
On defense, we have good stats but have yet to really play a strong offensive team, so a lot of fans are unsure if we are good on that side of the ball or if it's just a product of the teams we've played. Our weakness would be the DL and linebackers, while our strength is the secondary. We have a lot of experience back there and they have played well, especially Junior Safety AJ Gray. Our biggest overall weakness this year has been special teams. We've had struggles at times with the kicking game, and both punt/kick returns as well as punt/kick coverage. Punter Pressley Harvin is our biggest weapon on special teams. We apparently spent a lot of the bye week working on a lot of these issues, so we will see how that pays off. Finally, we also have had some issues with turning the ball over.
Anyways, good luck!
