  Speaker 1: if they use code hma i should have put some
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: picks up on the screen we could have taken the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: more on miami's everything chris but uh you know maybe
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that's just the that's the quick plug but uh Miami
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: comes into this game number three in the country, undefeated
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Florida State reeling a little bit, three and three, one
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and two in the conference. And coming out of the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: bye week, Miami got some good news just from a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: health perspective. And I don't know how deep we'll go
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: into this game. I think people watching kind of understand
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: what will likely happen. But Miami gets some good news
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: from some injuries that have been nagging since, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Wake Forest, a couple more that came along in that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Clemson game, but some good news on that front.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of great things. We're getting Xavier Lucas back,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Damari Brown back. Both of those guys are cornerbacks. Key
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: players in our defense, key players that showed up last
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: year in the national championship run that we had. We're
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: also getting Marquis Lightfoot back. He had that injury in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the Wake Forest game. And then we're getting Ezekiel Marcelin
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: back to get some depth in that linebacker position. So
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: got a bunch of guys coming back, which is great.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Things you're kind of hoping for in that bye week
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to get some rest. But we're still missing out some players,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: still losing Javor Antoine, Max Buchanan, that lineman, which is
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: going to be a major loss on that O-line, still out.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And then Armando Blunt, the other end, on the other
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: side of Damon Wilson. He's kind of questionable right now.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: We're still waiting. We probably won't hear more from him
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: until the end of the year. But yeah, good things,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: good news on this Monday morning.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: With, excuse me, with this matchup, the one thing I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: think that could play to Florida state's benefit is the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: interior of that offensive line, which I has been my
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: biggest concern with Miami through this year. So far, the,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the problem, the counterpoint to that very quickly is that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Florida state's offensive line or defensive line is not very good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And so I, I think that that's like an area
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: concern for concern. If you're Miami, if you're playing like
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame or you're playing Ohio state or a team
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with a really good front. Um, I don't know that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Florida state has the athletes to test that, but just
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so maybe not in this matchup specifically in general, how
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: big of a concern has the interior of the offensive
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: line been for you? And then with an injury to it,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the shuffling around that may have to happen. What are
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: your thoughts just on that group?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a, I'm in an agreeance with you. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: think this is probably one of the biggest concerns. It
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: was one of the biggest concerns coming into this year's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: losing four starters last year to the NFL. Um, again,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we all know, and we got really, really spoiled last
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: year with a unit that had been working together for
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: two or three years. They were all older players. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: they had those years of experience, those hundreds of snaps
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: under their belt this year, got a bunch of new guys,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: got to get the thing gelling. And I felt like
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: just when we were gelling as a unit, when we
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: were kind of getting our rhythm going, bam, Clemson game
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: happens and we lose guys. So just, I'm really hoping
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we can figure this out this week. I mean, This
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: is not a shot at Florida State, but you're right.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I would rather be figuring it out now as opposed
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to like Notre Dame. But my guess is we'll probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: have to slide some players over. But the good thing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: is we have a lot of young guys, whether it's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Ben Congdon, you have Jackson Cantwell. I mean, Jaden Wilkerson
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and Jamal Merriweather are doing great things. We saw them
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: do great things against Central Michigan. I did that Central Michigan,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I understand. But I think the... The depth isn't my
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: concern so much more as the chemistry. And you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: offensive line, you've got to be in sync.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, if you were playing an defensive line
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that had a little more talent or a little bit
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: more just anything, right?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: They were playing a little bit better.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: They were not struggling the way they are to create pressure,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to stop the run. I mean, Louisville just put up
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: 400 yards rushing on this Florida State defense in this front.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You know, that might be a problem.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The other maybe concern I would have for Miami, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I want to hear you kind of speak on, you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: talked about getting Lucas back, which is a big deal.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: That secondary is probably my concern on the other side.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And Florida State, certainly not a prolific passing offense by
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: any means, would have been put up 377 yards on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the road in Tuscaloosa. Now that came with three picks,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: one of them at the very end of the game
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: when you're just trying to force something. Another one on
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a tipped ball. So I'll give some credit to FSU
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that maybe it wasn't quite as bad as a three
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: pick day, but, um, you know, a, a secondary that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I've got some questions about you to get Lucas back,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: which is a big deal, but a Florida state offense
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that has shown at times an ability.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: To move the ball and score some points.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, like,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, actually Daniels say what you want. I get
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you Seminole fans. You're not a fan. He is definitely
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: not the quarterback you guys wanted or expected to have,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: but he's only down by a hundred yards compared to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Darian Mensah, who right now is considered the number one pick.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So we kind of got to give, you know, Daniels
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a little bit of credit. He can throw the ball
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit. And that is a big concern. You know, um, we,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: while our D line is absolutely crushing it right now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: number one defensive line in the country, number one defense
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: against the rush. Secondary is a little Swiss cheese. It's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a little hit or miss. And I think the, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: issue is, is if you get deuce out there and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: God forbid it's single coverage. Again, also, this is the thing. Yes,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: we're getting Xavier Lucas back, but this is something I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: always remind my viewers of is while we are getting
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: guys back, remember, football is a team sport, right? It's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: not just automatic plug and play. What's the communication been like?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: You'll remember two years ago, communication was a huge issue
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in the secondary, right? And so this week, again, rivalry game.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I don't put anything past FSU. Do I think we'll win? Yes,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: but Ashton Daniels has been shown that he can get
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the ball around. Deuce has been able to show it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Jay Boggs has been showing up too this year for
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you guys. Is he putting up lightning numbers? No, but again,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you have a number two, a decent number two that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you guys can look to. So yeah, that's one thing
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I'll definitely be paying attention to in terms of the
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: secondary because we really, really got to have our communication
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: strong to lock down that secondary.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Hey guys, I'll get right back to the show.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But first do me a favor, go to CFA top 25.com
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: vote in our new poll. Listen, I'll give you guys
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit of insight. I put Georgia number one,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: maybe Bama. It's more impressive than anything Miami's done so far.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I've got Miami number two in this week's poll. Go
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: check it out. Submit your own poll, which takes about
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: two minutes. The interface on this is really slick. It's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: really easy to do.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: CFA top 25.com. Make sure you are voting.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I want to see if enough of you Miami fans
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: can move Miami up over Georgia in the fan poll.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So go check it out. CFA top 25.com.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I've presented maybe the couple of concerns for Miami,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: which again, I don't know that they're major concerns, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: if you're thinking about a game and you're thinking about
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the path to, I wouldn't even say an upset, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: just this being competitive into the second half, the other
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: side of that exists to Florida state, not a good team,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know, had a really good performance against Virginia. And then,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you know, outside of that, has done some good things
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: at times, but just not consistent, which is a big
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: time problem for them.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And, you know, from that side, you would hope that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: that improves.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I wonder kind of if, you know, if Miami coming
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: out of the bi-week playing opponent, that's kind of down
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: right now, I don't really worry about like an intensity
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: factor in this because I do think the rivalry still
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: carries a lot. But I do think that a lot
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of the national narrative is, oh, Miami is going to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: blow this team out. There are three touchdown favorites for
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a reason. You're thinking about the game that's going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: happen in about a month, a little less than that
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in South Bend. If there's any chance that like men,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: we've seen Miami in this position before a big favorite
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: at home by week, you know, you know, like, is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: there any kind of concern of like, Hey, we do
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: have to kind of take this team seriously because they
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: do have the kind of players that can, that can
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: beat you. Because I'll tell you from my seat, I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: don't think Florida state can win this game, but I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: think the only team that can beat Miami in this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: game is also Miami.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And let me, let me, well, that's 100%. Let
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: me take off my fan hat. All right. And just
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: look at college football. What happened last week with Oklahoma, right?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You have an Oklahoma team going to the red river rivalry.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: They are atrocious this year. Can't get anything done on offense. Uh,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: playing technically the number one team in the country in Texas,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: their biggest rival, what do they do? They win in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a walk-off field goal. I'm not saying that's going to happen.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You guys do have a great field goal kicker, though,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: so that's what you're going to want coming into a
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Miami game, having a good kicker. But the thing that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I am most worried about is not the beginning. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: think Miami will start off strong. We've started off strong
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: all season. It is what happens in that second, third quarter.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: God forbid it's a whole second half. That is my
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: biggest issue with Miami. maybe we get up by 21,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: maybe we get up by 17 points, and then we
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: start going to like what I call Mario ball. Again,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: something I'm getting familiar with and I'm accepting, but it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the just run through the A gap, maybe run through
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the B gap, three and out, three and out. That
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: is my biggest concern, you know, because what we're dealing
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: with this season a lot is our biggest issue is
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: ourselves with the injury bug, right? Does Mario really want
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to sacrifice bodies against a lesser opponent in FSU? And
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I don't mean that in a, in a, in a,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you know, malicious or a disrespectful way, but you're acknowledging it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: The national media is acknowledging it. We all can acknowledge it,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that FSU is not on the same level as Miami.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So do we want to sacrifice more players for that
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: game that we're talking about in November? That is at
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, our season, you know, like
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to run from it. Our schedule is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: not that strong. A lot of our opponents haven't lived
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: up to their end of the bargain. So we really
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: need to stay healthy. And you're talking about a Florida
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: State team. who has nothing to lose. There is absolutely
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: nothing that this team has to lose. So they're going
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to come out hungry and ready to play. So I'm
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: going to disagree with you on something. Okay.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I don't worry about that at all for two reasons.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: One, Florida State starts really well. And that is like,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: they're a great first quarter team. You look at Bama,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you look at Virginia.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So I, and I don't think Miami's going to start
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: poorly by any means, but I think that Florida state
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: will start this game out. Well, it's been so reason
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: number one is that it's been later in games that
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Florida state has kind of fallen apart. Second half against
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Bama second half against, um, you know, obviously certainly Louisville, uh, SMU,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you can kind of throw in there. They didn't play
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: super well. Second half against the, the two, you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: kind of bad opponents they played As well in central
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Arkansas and New Mexico state.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: But reason number two is last year, like Mario will not.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Let this be a six point game because of the way.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: That last year went.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: If, if Miami is up now, I'm not saying he
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: goes for 65 or risks injury with a team that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: already been banged up or anything like that. I think
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: there will be some, some caution used there, but Miami
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: will not let its foot off the gas in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: second half in this game with as many recruits are
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: there in this rivalry, because I think he's annoyed at
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the way that last year went down. I think it was,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he doesn't like the fact that it was a six
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: point game. Now, anybody that watched that game knew that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a six point game, even though that's what
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the scoreboard said. But I think it'll go the exact
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: opposite way. I think Florida State will come out, hair
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: on fire, play well to start.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: How effective will they be? I don't know. It's still
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: a pretty wide talent gap.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You were able to take advantage of a Louisville team
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that you're similarly talented to and get up 14-0. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: certainly don't think Florida State goes up two scores in
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: this game. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they script
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: up an opening drive touchdown or an opening drive field goal.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: They did that last year. They have done that a
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: lot this year. Bama, Louisville. Virginia, they, they played well early.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And so I think Florida state will start well.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I just have no, no confidence in them being able to, uh,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: adjust once adjustments are made. I think, you know, Dawson Heatherman,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Mario will pretty quickly figure out what Florida state is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: doing and Florida state better have scored some points before
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that happens. But once Mario and company figure that out,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing Florida state being able
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to adjust to the counter.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, y'all will adjust.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And we won't be able to answer it with anything.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And we'll probably get shut out for the rest of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the game. Maybe get something fluky here or there. Obviously,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: turnover is great equalizer. You know, if Florida State could
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: find a way to run the ball, which I have
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: no confidence in at all, that's what they wanted to do.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: But I have a tough time seeing them be able
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to do that. You could certainly have this thing be
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a little closer. But I worry about, you know, the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: longer this game goes, Florida State being able to continue
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to match the execution of Miami.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think also when you look at this game,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you also want to look at the quit factor, right?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Because you could literally see, I could see this game
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: easily being tied up by half. Like, that is something
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that I could almost guarantee, well, probably most likely, because
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: like you said, FSU has been coming out strong. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it's a matter of, like, because if you look at
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: last year, right, you guys went down by, I think
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: it was almost three scores, like two touchdowns and a
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: field goal at one point. And then you guys started
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: steamrolling back. And it was one of the few games
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you guys had last year, and even this year, to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a certain extent, where you guys refused quit. Does that
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: come back in this game? Do you know what I mean?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Because this is a rivalry game last year. You guys literally, you, you,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: like you just said, we both know that could a game,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: but the game could have been easily three full scores. Right.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: But it didn't. Why is that? You know? And would
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you say this year is a better team than last year?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good question. I think it's a,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think the offense is as good.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: And the defense is, yeah, it's pretty similar. I'd say, right.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I think, I think it's, it's, it is similar in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that way, but I would say Miami is a better
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: team this year than last year.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just always get worried though. Again, you know, this,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: everyone who covers the ACC and Miami knows this, listen,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: we give up games. We should win. Yeah. And just,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: there's just something about this game. Again, not to say
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that we're going to lose, but I am not extra
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: comfortable as much as I was even last week going
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: into Clemson or even wake forest again, rivalry game. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: then especially seeing what happened to Texas and Oklahoma last week,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: it's just, okay, hey, what could happen? And again, this
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: FSU team did not give up last season.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think they've done a good job of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: not giving up. The problem I think they're going to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: run into is the talent. And I don't think they'll quit.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Per se.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I just think they're not talented enough, and the coaches
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: are not very good. We know Mike's not a good coach.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think Tony White's a good coach. Not Tony White.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think they'll fight hard. Like there was a play
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: where chroma was, it was a third down and he, um,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: we were down by 21 and he was dragging a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: linebacker to try and get close to the first down marker.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: And the game was over.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It was a fourth quarter down 21. And so like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I think that effort still will be there. I just
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: don't know that we can adjust. I think once Miami
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: kind of punches back, we won't be able to figure
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: out how to stop their offense. It was so crazy
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: how it happened at the same time, too. Florida State's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: up 14-0 going in for another score. That score doesn't happen.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And from there, Louisville could not be stopped, and Florida
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: State couldn't stop from being stopped. Both the offense and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the defense were figured out like that by Louisville. If
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you're in this game from the FSU perspective, you're hoping
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that those things don't happen at the same time to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: maybe stave off a little bit of that. But once
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the offense gets figured out, once the defense gets figured out,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: it's a very undersized defensive line. I have a hard
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: time seeing them be able to go blow for blow.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Whenever that happens.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Midway through the first quarter, start of the second half,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: opening kickoff, whenever that is, I think Florida State's going
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to struggle to get back into it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Do you think that last week's game against Louisville was
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: more of a result of maybe looking ahead? Or do
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you think there was a– because it's so strange to
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: me that you guys had such a dominant showing against
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Virginia and that you had like Ashton Daniels and Croma
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: have really good showings against Virginia. But then you go
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: and you play a Louisville team that is just as
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: susceptible in my opinion. Like I would not say Louisville
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and Virginia are like tears apart. They're like light years apart.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? They're closer than they are apart.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Do you think that the Louisville game may have been
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: just like they kind of were like, hey, we're looking
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to Miami and it is what it is?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Not really because they started really well.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There were moments where it
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: felt like you guys could have came back and a
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: lot of the scores that Louisville had were explosive plays.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: They were grinding you down.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And that I feel like is just like, oh, we
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: missed an assignment and their secondary is a little rough. Um,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and that's how they got these scores. And then once
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you go up two or three scores, it's kind of like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: all right, now we're pressing more.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: We had dropped passes, you know, like we, it was,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it was just, you know, we pooch punted to Isaac Brown,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: our pooch kicks to Isaac Brown on a kickoff and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: let him run for 70 yards. Again, I just think they,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: when something bad happens, I think their mental composure is low.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And they just kind of turtle. They just kind of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: like go into a shell and they're afraid.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Of like, oh, well, we got to, you know. And so, yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I think that has more to do with it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was like a look ahead spot
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: because they came out and played well. And I thought
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: they were in good position at times. I think that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: their defensive line is a little undersized. So they have
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to be a little tricky with pressures and the way
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that they bring things. And over time, a better Louisville
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: offensive line was able to wear them down. And that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: sprung Isaac Brown. I worry about that same thing for Miami,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a better offensive line is going to get home a
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: little bit or get, get to the point of attack
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than this defensive line.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: We'll be able to stop them.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And then on the other side too, I don't know
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that we'll really have an effective way to block that
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Miami front, especially with light foot coming back, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: a blunt being out is a help, but you still
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: got Damon Wilson. You still got Moten. You still got
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: like a ton of just game records up there up front.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And this offensive line has not been good. And Daniels
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: does a fairly good job of getting out of pressure. Um,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I think they'll use his legs some, I think they'll
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: move the pocket some to, to try and avoid that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: But that may work for a quarter, quarter and a half,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: two quarters. I can't see that working for the entirety
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of the game.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I, it's one of those things, man, where you, it's,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: there's moments of brilliance and then there's moments of like
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: incompetence and you're just like, how, why are we doing this?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: How are we?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: How is it this bad?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And how can the peaks and valleys be so
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: high and low? So, um, All right, let's wrap up
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: with this. What do you have coming this week? Where
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: can people follow you? Where can they find your show?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: All those things.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Well, pick six podcasts on YouTube and Instagram. We've got
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: our top 25. I put out a top 25 every
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: week after the AP does. That'll be going up today.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: We'll have our game preview with you on our show.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: So thank you for having me on this show. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: then we will have a preview for all of the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: game seven games at the end of the week.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you, man. Give me a give me a score
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: in this one. Oh man. All right.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not, I want to try and be a little respectful.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: No, you don't. Yeah. So I did.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I can tell you this. I know we said we
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: were wrapping up. You're, you're, you're, you're trapped.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Um, cause I'm still, I'm going for those movie magic
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: at home. I'm going on his show, uh, after this.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: So he's trapped until, you know, we can, we can,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we can keep this as long as we want. Cause
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I'll just, you know, I won't show up until we
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: finish the, uh, I'm watching the, I'm watching the watch
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: along on, uh, on, on Friday night, we, right. We
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: played Louisville and, uh, people are, there are some, most
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Miami fans, you know, kind of like me.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: So that's fine. It works out great.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But, uh, some of them were trying to troll and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I was just like, guys, you cannot troll me. I, I,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I promise as much as you hate Florida state, I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: hate them more right now.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Like there is no doubt that I still think I
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: can be to lose, right?
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: And I was like, you're doing the Lord's work. Um, I,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I was, I was like, man, I, I, you do
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: not hate Florida state more than I do at this moment.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Right. And I still think I can be pretty objective,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: pretty unbiased talk about paths to win.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: What concerns me about both teams, but I was like,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you cannot troll me.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: So anyway, all that said, you don't have to be respectful. I, I,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: if you asked me what I wanted in this game, I.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Would prefer a Miami blowout. more than probably anything else.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Now, you know, when kickoff happens and I'm down there
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and I've had a few drinks, yeah, I will probably
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: be wanting to see FSU do well. But objectively, if
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at this holistically, yeah, I need Miami to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: win this game by 50 points. Like I need not
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a fourth and 14, a blowout, a Clemson 2019-ish.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I need that. So please give it to me. But anyway, yeah.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: So don't be respectful. I think it'll probably.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Listen, again, the offense is not terrible. So I think
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you'll at least put up 10 points, minimum 10 points.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe 13 is what I'm thinking. But I think Miami
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: will probably put up anywhere between 45 and 48. So
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: give me 45, 48 to 13.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: 48, 13.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Fun one down in South Florida again.
• 21:07
