  Speaker 1: the State.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you are subscribed there. It's Rivalry Week.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this, but it doesn't really feel like
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Rivalry Week on my side. Is it like a half
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Rivalry Week for you guys? How does it feel right now?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Miami fans are still rivals of FSU fans. I think
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: your rivals right now are your administration, your coach, you know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: that's kind of where your anger is directed towards. I
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: don't sense a lot of anger towards Miami. Maybe we're
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: playing someone else and you're cheering against Miami, winning a
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: championship or something like that. It feels more like a rivalry,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: but yeah, in this game, it's weird because we've talked
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: about it. A lot of FSU fans are cheering for,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: you know, one of those 50 to nothing wins where
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the coach gets fired on the, on the tarmac or
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the next day. So how do you get too jacked
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: up about doing that? I think from Miami standpoint, I,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: In terms of the team, obviously the team's focused on
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: winning and keeping their championship hopes alive and staying healthy
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: and executing and all this stuff that football coaches talk about.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I think broadly, you've got a lot of recruits in
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the building. It is Miami's biggest recruiting weekend by far.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: It's their biggest home game. It's the one that's going
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to have the highest ticket prices. They don't have a
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: huge home schedule, so even a declining FSU team is
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: still the biggest ticket as far as home games. So
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: they want to put on a show for the recruits.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's the bigger picture beyond just the game.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Somebody played a game with me earlier this week and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they played like a, would you rather? So would you,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: if I, if I offered you a loss to Florida
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: state right now, but a guaranteed ACC championship and a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: guaranteed semifinal appearance. Now you may win, you may lose
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: from there, but if I told you right now, you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: lose to Florida state, but I'm going to guarantee you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: an ACC championship and you'll be in the semifinal.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And then it's a roll of the dice from there.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Would you take it?
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I would. I mean, getting there would be a nightmare
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: because you have to deal with all the people going
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: on live every day and dealing with all that stuff.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: But big picture, if you really zoom out, I don't
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: think Miami fans are in a hurry to get Norvell
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: out of there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would save his job for the year for sure.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: So I think that's good. And then obviously getting to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the semifinals, I mean, that's not easy. Miami went the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: hard way last year. They had to beat Texas A
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: & M. First of all, they had to win every
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: ACC game in a blowout fashion in November, basically. Then
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they had a sweat selection Sunday. They had to beat
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M at Texas A & M. They
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: had to beat Ohio State, which had been the best
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: team in the country most of that year. So that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: was just to get to the semifinals. So I think, yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: you gladly take the semifinals. Plus, you haven't won the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: ACC ever. So that's a pretty big prize as well.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Since it's a rivalry week, if Florida State and Florida
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: are playing, and it's No. 1 versus No. 2, so
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you can't cheer for like, oh, just give me the upset.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But it's No. 1 versus No. 2. who do you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: hate more?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Like, who would you rather see lose that game? If
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it's not like, Oh, well, this team's unranked. This team's good.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Like who just, which team would you prefer to see
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: lose more?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was, I mean, it's hard to say because
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: it's so much of it is based on like, who's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: been good lately and who personally is annoying you, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: on the other side. So, you know, everybody has their
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: own family members and things like that, or just people
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: on the internet that upset them. So it has to
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: do with like most recent bragging. A lot of, if
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you have to just look at them in a vacuum, um,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I think Florida State is a cooler program. Florida, to me,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: is just kind of corny, and that's just not– they're
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: not good right now, so I'm not speaking in that way.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It's just their whole– how would.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: You define their culture and their gimmick and everything, their helmets,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: their chants, their fan base? I just find it a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: little corny. FSU is more you don't like it, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it's an opponent. They have their traditions, which makes sense.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Their uniforms look better. Um, their fans are just, you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: college football fans are a little grimier than the Florida fans,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: which a lot of them, you have your, your hardcore
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: North central Florida fans. I respect those guys. And the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Gainesville studio, you have students a lot of times, like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like they learn about football, like on a
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: blog as freshmen. So, you know, I would say that's,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that upsets me more from a fan base standpoint, but
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: really it's like, who are you annoyed with at that time?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Cause they've been bragging on you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I tell you that during watching that Ole Miss game,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: when Florida state is obviously in the depths of hell,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Miami is a top five team in the country and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you're watching Florida beat old miss and beat the tar
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: out of them.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And just that, that reality.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And thankfully they dropped to Missouri and dropped to, to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the South Carolina inexplicably to that reality of both of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: my rivals are good at the same time was like
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the worst three hour game that I've ever watched. Now,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: fortunately that's turned a little bit. I will say on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the Miami Florida state rivalry, And we didn't bring this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: up on State of the State, which again, go subscribe
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: there if you're not already.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I'll link it at the very end of this.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: There does seem, and I know when you grew up matters,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of fans that started watching the nineties would
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: say Florida, a lot of fans that are older and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: watching the eighties would, would say Miami as, as the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: rival that they dislike more. There does seem to be
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a different level of, of not admiration, but a different
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: level of respect between Florida and, and, and I'm sorry,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: between Miami and Florida state, then Miami and Florida and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Florida and Florida state. Whereas like, you know, I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: think anybody would say I like the other one as much.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But the respect, I think because of the way that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: these rivalries started, is very much more apparent with Florida and,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Florida State and Miami, if I can get
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it out right.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, so I was born in 85.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So obviously my FSU played every year. Those were very
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: meaningful games, particularly in the early 90s, late 80s. Then
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you look at Florida, they stopped playing Miami because the
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: SEC was too tough for them, even though the SEC
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: at that time was not, you know, what it became later.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It's actually not at all.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: So it makes you wonder, like, what was so hard
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: about that conference that they had to stop playing Miami?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I just think they saw FSU lose multiple championship appearances
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: because of the Miami game. They didn't want that for themselves.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: And they did have to play FSU as well, although
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Miami would have gladly played them both. So that was
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: a source of a lot of frustration from Miami fans.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I would say my whole life, really, until the early 2000s,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you started seeing Miami and Florida start playing again. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: since then, they've had their home and homes, and it
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: hasn't been as bad. But there was a stretch, really, from, like,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the mid eighties through the two thousands where these did
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: not play and they were not on the schedule and
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: they weren't crossing paths and bowls. So it was a
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: different dynamic than with Miami Florida state who are playing
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: every year.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And for a lot of that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Those games decided the national championship. Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Hey guys, I'll get right back to chatting with Danny,

  Speaker 2: On audio as well. All right, now back to Danny.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The, uh, and, and it probably will never happen again
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: with realignment and everything that's going to, you know, go
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: on with that. But it is, I, I, these three
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: teams should play each other every single year. Like there,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: there should not be, um, situations where these teams are
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not playing each other every year. And I understand the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: sec grind and all these things, but yeah, it sucks
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that we're at a spot of college football where all
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: there's not a true like state champion and all three are,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: are not playing each other, uh, every single season. So,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: On this game specifically, on Saturday, I tried to waste
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: as much time as I could with not talking about
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this game. From an injury health standpoint, get Lightfoot back,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Lucas back as well. What are the injury concerns? Who
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: steps up and plays right guard? Do they shuffle around?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Do they put somebody else in? I know they've tried
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: multiple things in that Clemson game, but just thoughts on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the health and specifically there at right guard.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Miami's had a tough season health-wise today. throughout the year,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: really from the first game where you lose OJ Frederick,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: likely for the season, who if you had seen him
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: at camp, he was looking like he was going to
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: just jump into that Ashton Hampton, Leonard Moore class. You
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: saw him in the playoffs. He was covering Jeremiah Smith,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: covering Charlie Becker. So he was about ready to jump
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: in that class. At least that was the internal projection.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Freshman All-America, sophomore not as good, injured, and then having
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: a jump. So that hurt a lot to lose a
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: player of that caliber. Then you lose Xavier Lucas also
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: in that game. who's the other starting corner, very good player.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: So you're out your two starting corners. And then on
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the interior, you were just having problems. Forget injury-wise, you
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: were having problems just getting the right combination of guards.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So what ended up happening was you did finally find
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: that balance in the Clemson game. True freshman Ben Congdon,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: who was healthy, came in and played really well. Max
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Buchanan played a good game as the starter. And then S.J.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Al-Fatouli played well when he came in for Buchanan. Now
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Buchanan is out for probably the rest of the regular season,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: at least. So You finally get the right balance on
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the offensive line. You play a great game against Clemson,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: and then you lose your starting right guard. He had
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: not been like a dominant. It wasn't like Frederic where
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Buchanan was a dominant player. He was part of the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: inconsistencies getting better. Young player with a lot of potential.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: So you're not losing like an impact guy there, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: it's a position where you've been struggling and looking for options.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Right when you found the right combo, you change it
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: up again. So I'd say that's the big focus. Marquise Lightfoot,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you mentioned the defensive end who has five sacks already.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: He looks like he's going to be, if he stays healthy,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: a double-digit sack guy this year, potential All-ACC, you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: first-round kind of guy, former five-star. He hurt, he got
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a concussion in the Clemson game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: He's fine.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: He'll be back for this game. And given that Florida State's,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: one of their weaknesses is their pass blocking, a guy
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: like Marquise Lightfoot, who, if you just, like, talk about
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: breakout play. on Miami he's one of those guys that
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's going to go as high as
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: this guy but it's kind of like Arville Reese where
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the guy I didn't like he's a highly touted guy
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: he hadn't played a ton behind some good players then
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: he plays and he's making a huge impact and you're
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: kind of like wow Lightfoot is similar not saying he's
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: going to be top five or top 10 or whatever
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Reese was but He looks like a first-round type of guy,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: former five-star, who's really, really turning it on, and he'll
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: be healthy for this FSU game.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think if you're Florida State, it's very difficult to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: see them finding success in the ground game. And even
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: with getting Lucas back, and I don't think it's a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: bad secondary by any means, but a secondary that has
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: had some struggles this year, a lot of them health-related.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I think Florida State's path here is to try and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: throw the ball And I think they could have some
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: success with guys like Danzy and Boggs and induce. And,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I think even Ashton is somewhat effective at times,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: whether he's using his arm or his legs. The problem
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that I think they're going to run into is exactly
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: what you just mentioned. I don't think they're going to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have enough time to, to block for Daniels. And that's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: really where, you know, the, the path to victory becomes
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: pretty narrow for Florida state is, you know, we haven't
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: even talked about the Miami's offenses, but you've got to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: score points to win. And I just don't know. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: think they've got to get really, really creative and move
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the pocket a ton to even think about giving Daniels
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: enough time to find those targets, which if you gave
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Florida State just an average offensive line, maybe they could
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: do that because I do like a lot of the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: weapons that they've got out wide. And if there's a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: place to attack this Miami defense, it is in the secondary,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: but I just don't think you have enough time to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: do that on Saturday with how good this defensive front
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is and how not good Florida State's offensive line is.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I should have mentioned Lucas is back for this game.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: He hadn't been there all year, so you get one
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: of your starting corners back, and that's going to make
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: a big difference. He was dueling with Deuce last year.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: There was a big third down. I know FSU fans
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: want to pass interference. It ended up being called incomplete,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: and that kind of, I don't want to say swung
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the game, but that was when Miami really took over
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: in Tallahassee last year. But looking at how you deal
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: with this Miami team, they're number one in the country
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: in terms of rushing defense, like just total yards allowed.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: They're number one in the country in terms of yards
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: per carry, so 1.9 yards per carry. And teams don't
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: run on them. They don't attempt to run. If there's
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: a rush attempt, they're the lowest. So in every rushing category,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: they're pretty much number one. Now, they haven't played the
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: best rushing games in the country. Croma is definitely the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: best back that they've faced. The quarterback can run with
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Ashton Daniels. So this will be more of a test
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: for Miami's rush defense, but that's something you're going to see.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I think really the path to victory for FSU is
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: kind of like what Louisville did last year where they
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: couldn't block either, really. Isaac Brown caught Miami coming off
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a bye, so this is also off a bye for Miami,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and Miami wasn't tackling great that first half coming off
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a bye. The tackling picked up later in the game,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: but first half was uncharacteristic missed tackles. Brown had some
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: nice drives where he was really carrying the offense, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Miller Moss was completing a lot of short passes, keeping
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the Miami offense off the field. Chris Bell, who's a
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: stud player, took a couple to the house, and then
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Carson Beck had four turnovers.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of what you're looking at, I think.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: For FSU is the shorter passes and just controlling the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: game that way, maybe running, and then running like how
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Isaac Brown did in that Louisville game where you're breaking tackles,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you're making something happen, you're using your playmakers. Because this
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: is a very tough team to just run against consistently,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: and I don't see, unless you scheme something up and
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: hit a big play, I don't see a consistent... drop
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: back and throw it down the field against these pass rushers. That,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: that to me would be a tough ask. Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the ball, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: it's kind of pick your poison with Miami's rushing attack
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: or their passing attack. I, I think it really depends,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're Florida state, and you're Mike Norvell,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: are you playing this game to try and survive into
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the Clemson game and the rest of the season, or
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: are you playing this game to go out and win it? And, um,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: so their offensive, their defensive strategy will be very, very
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: interesting to me, whether they play more like the 24
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: game or more like the 25 game to where they say, Hey, we're,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: we're going to try and limit, we're going to try
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and limit Tony Mensah and barcade, or we're going to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: try and limit Mark Fletcher and these running backs. Um,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that'll certainly be interesting to kind of think about what
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: their strategy is, what would Miami prefer? Like would my,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: does Miami, would Miami prefer that Florida state says, Hey,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: we're going to try and limit Tony and Mensa and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you can run for all you want. Or would they say, yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: leave some things open for Tony and Mensa trying to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: stop the run. And we are going to go crazy
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: with a score line that's in the fifties.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, I can't speak for Miami, although I
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: think they agree with me here speaking personally. And I
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: think Miami would agree. If FSU wants to play Miami
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: like they did in 2024, I think they have a
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: very low chance of winning.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, zero.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think FSU in 2024 was playing to win
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: at all. And I think Miami's running game, 5.0.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yards a carry.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: You have Mark Fletcher, who's been productive, proven, championship caliber back.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I think Miami would love if you parked those safeties
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: deep and had Miami just kill you with runs all day.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I think that would be preferable. I think most defensive
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: coordinators are going to want to stop the run first
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: and at least have a chance. With the passing game,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: you could have a fumble. You could have an interception.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: You could have a holding call. You could have just
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of things go wrong. Very few things, especially
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: with Miami's running game, which is extremely conservative, does not
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: allow a lot of tackles for loss. The splits are
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: really tight, so you just don't see a lot of
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: negative plays in Miami's running game. A negative play in
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Miami's running game is like two yards and they're pushing
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: you and kind of hurting you on the way over there. Miami...
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: if they're allowed to run with impunity, they will gladly
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: do it. And I think it'll be, it'll look like
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: that last drive against Clemson where Miami ran it every
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: single play of the drive and scored a touchdown and,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: you know, it hurts. Like these guys are big and
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Fletcher's big. So my opinion, I think Mario shares it
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: knowing his philosophy is if you let us run, we're
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: going to run right down your throat and it's going
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: to feel good. Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: And the, the opposite of that is if you try
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and stop the run, good luck, good luck guarding, you know, you're, you're,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Agree with you.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Like there's more that can go wrong with the passing game,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but not a lot has gone wrong with the passing game.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And so you're asking maybe the most efficient quarterback you're
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: asking for mistakes from the most efficient quarterback in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: country right now. And, you know, arguably the greatest weapon
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: out wide in the country too. So, It truly is
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: a pick-your-poison situation for Florida State this weekend.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great. By the way, just the great video, not
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to promote another channel, me and you have about 1,000,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: but Jeff Collins.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Just add one to the list.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeff Collins, who is former coach at Georgia Tech.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: He worked with Mario at FIU. He had a great
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: breakdown of Miami's offense, and he basically said that's the
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: problem is You have to respect the power running game.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: You cannot ignore a power running game because you get demoralized.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: In Miami, that's what they do, and they have the
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: best power back in the country. So you can't ignore it,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: but then also it limits what you can do with
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: a Tony.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And that's the dichotomy.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: That's the problem with Miami's offense is you've got to,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: like you said, pick your poison. Now, Mensah's gotten hit.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Even against Stanford, when Stanford was going, like you look
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: at what Stanford did, they went all in on the run. Obviously,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Malachi Tony had a highlight reel in that game. But
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Mensah did get hit a couple times. Like, he got, like,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: you know, you don't watch your quarterback getting hit. God
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: forbid he gets hurt, but that would obviously open up
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: a huge window to win or a bigger window to win. So, like,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Stanford hit Mensah. Mensah was just awesome in that game,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: and Stanford doesn't have the athletes that FSU has, even
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: in a depressed state. So that would be, to me,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: what I would worry about more from a Miami standpoint
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: is if FSU just squint balls to the wall and said,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: we're going to hit Mensah and take our chances.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Danny, what do you got coming this week? Where can
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: people follow you if they're not already? And, uh, give
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: us a quick plug real quick.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're on every day. Kane's insight nine to whenever
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: 10 30, you know, depends kind of what we run
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: out of steam, but we're on every day for about
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: an hour and a half starting at 9.00 AM live
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: on Kane's insight. And of course, state of the state
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: with TJ with Allie, uh, which is, uh, I guess
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the fastest growing show and something, we got to have
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: some kind of category for the fastest growing show. I mean,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: we're getting you know, 23,000 plus on some of these
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: lives and we just started. So you're killing it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Allie's great. Um, a lot of fun, man.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: So hopefully we got some news this week, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. I mean, I know Miami fans
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: would be, even though we want Norvell to stay, if
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: he's gone, it might as well do a pink slip game.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: You get that pride.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: You also get to put it on in front of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a billion recruits, which I know you've got all that
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: covered over at Kane's inside as well. But, uh, yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I mean it, it, it feels good to, to win
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: those kinds of games. I, you know, I can remember
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: when they've happened in our favor, right. And in 22
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and other games where you're just like, this is fun.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: This is, this is great to watch for this three hours.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, there's no, there's no guarantees that
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Florida state gets it right with the last coach or
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the next coach.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: So we'll, we'll see what, what happens there.
• 19:09
