MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY
My Miami vs. Notre Dame take … Posted by Rosiecane
I definitely think the ND game is winnable, but it’ll be tough, and I do think they should be favored. Their defense is going to be nasty, and i just hope the loss of Golden at DC makes them a tick more vulnerable than LY, but I almost think their personnel is better.
The keys to winning imo is us having some success running the ball, which should be the strength of the team, and that should help open up the passing game a little, which we will need bc this ND secondary is elite. Carson is going to have to play well and hold up against pressure, as ND is going to blitz him, as they know like everyone else he sucked LY when pressured.
Then we are going to have to keep their talented RB duo in check, which will not be easy, bc those two are the best we’ll see all year, but also bc they have arguably the best OL in CFB. Then can we cover Greathouse, as that guy will be the best WR on the field?……im hoping these new upgraded CBs and Fredrique can hold up.
This game will be one of the most physical slugfests of any game all year….it’ll be big boy ball.
MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The offense got in gear early, did it both on the ground and hit some big plays in the passing game. And then the defense did respond, which is what you want to see.”
