Miami Hurricanes CLOSE to EXPOSING Truth on FALSE Narrative vs Stanford? · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Is that Miami Stanford, the Friday night game presented by
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: prize picks. We've got some canes in the chat. Appreciate
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you guys for hanging out. Miami travels across the entire
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: country to get to Stanford, California for an Atlantic coast
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: conference game, which I, you know what? I won't, I won't,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I won't crop on the ACC yet.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Why it's fun.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I just, I've done it all off season. I'm trying
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to be in a good mood because it's game week. Like,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be in a bad mood when we get to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: FSU SMU.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I'd say you got Monday to get better.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Miami versus Stanford. This is a game that I really
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of concerns in. I know that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: some of these spreads are a little bit bigger and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we'll get to some more closer ones here in a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: few minutes, but it's a game that did you see
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Stanford injury report?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's brutal, isn't it?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Did Hawaii have shanks during that? What was happening in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the Hawaii? Now, admittedly, I didn't watch it, but I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: don't know what the heck happened to that. Stanford's whole
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: team is out. Miami has maybe a top three talent
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: profile in the entire country. I think what you're worried
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: about here is. The West Coast travel, which it sounds
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: like Mario's consulted some people about that. They left a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: day early. I can't even, as the biggest Miami non-fan
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in the group, I can't even think of a path
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for Miami to lose this game. But what are you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: guys' thoughts here? Whoever wants to take it can.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Tom, I'll let you go first.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not terribly worried for the outcome of this game
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: when it comes to Miami. I want to see how
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Darian Mensah operates within this offense. Do they need him
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: to use his legs to beat Stanford? I don't think so.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: How much is this the Malachi-Tony show? Are they still
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: reliant on the running game as they were last year
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and still focusing on the running game? I absolutely expect
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that for Miami up against Stanford. I think Davis Warren
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: is going to come back down to earth a little bit.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He had himself a really nice game against Hawaii. I
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: think this game is really going to be difficult for
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Davis Warren. He's going to think he's back in Ann Arbor.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I'm really curious to see what this defensive line looks like.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: And this defense overall, we know about the number of
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: guys that went off to the National Football League. Has
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Miami been able to replace on that assembly line? Are
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: they able to get pressure with three or four? Are
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: they able to get pressure with limited blitzing packages is
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: that secondary ball hawking and at least making it difficult
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: for davis warren to find his receivers i don't know
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: if i am terribly worried about the outcome as i
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: said i think there's a possibility of swanton bomb 43
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: great name by the way shout out jeff hardy is
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: putting um you know is putting a little bit of
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: emphasis on like hey it's a late night pacific coast
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: kick this is an east coast team in miami going
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: all the way out to palo alto There's a possibility
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you could see a slow start for Miami, but I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: think once they get into the flow of the game,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the Hurricanes roll. I want to see if Darian Mensah
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: is as advertised. Cole Thompson has said that he's potentially
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the best quarterback in the country entering this season. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: think there's a lot of people who feel he could
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: be a Heisman favorite. I'm not saying he has to
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: start that campaign against Stanford, but I want to see
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: how this offense operates. And again, I don't expect Mensah
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to need to be running all over the field like
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: he's Lamar Jackson to try and keep Miami alive, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: think he can hand the ball off. And it's probably
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: going to look a little bit similar to what Jade
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Maiava was doing against San Jose State the other night,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: where it's like, hey, you don't have to throw for.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: 400 yards and all this stuff.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: He was about, what, 25 or 29 in that opener
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: was Maiava. I expect something kind of similar for Darian
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Mensah in this game. So I don't like this for Stanford.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Look, Stanford had a good win on Saturday. Congratulations to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Davida Pritchard on starting off this year on a high note.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It wasn't great. I mean, let's be real. Hawaii with
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Mike Alato, which, by the way, is a fun, fun player,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: like G5 Johnny Manziel, still found a way to fight back,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and they took the lead, and you need a big
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: scoring drive late to be able to go ahead and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: secure the victory that you should have had going into
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and it didn't happen. So that's a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: major question mark. What I look for in this game, though,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: is what does this defensive line look like, especially now
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that you don't have an Akeem Mesidor and a Reuben Bain.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And I love the depth of Miami's defensive line. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: love the talent that Miami has on the defensive front.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And I think that they're great in the secondary. Cannot
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: wait to see what Bryce Fitzgerald looks like with another year.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what you get from Chase
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Smith at the weak linebacker spot. Omar Thornton coming on
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: in via the portal. I think it'd be a really
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: nice final replacement for Keontae Scott. But this is a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: team that, whether you like it or not, does not
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: have an Akeem Mesidor and a Reuben Bain. But they
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: do have a Marquise Lightfoot. And Marquise Lightfoot is a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: damn good player. And they do have a Damon Wilson.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And Damon Wilson was one of the better pass rushers
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in the SEC last season. And they do have a
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Justin Scott. And an Amon Moten. And they brought in
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Depp with Jarquez Carter. And they still have a Herbert Scroggins.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And they still have guys like a Booker Pickett. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it's like they have talent that should be able to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: remind people it may not be the exact same elite
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: level play. But it's as consistent play. On the offensive side,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I think that you're all going to turn our attention
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to Jackson Cantwell. He was the five-star talent that's now
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: going to be the future left tackle. What are you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: going to get from him for the foreseeable future, for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the immediate? Because again, you want to see him get
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: caught up to speed by the time that we get to...
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my bad, he's at right guard. My apologies. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you want to see a new offensive lineman get caught
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: up to speed for a game... Before you get to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: face off against competition, like saying a Notre Dame later
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in the season, because the offensive line is a bit new.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean it's new in terms of guys from the outside.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's new from the starting experience. How quickly does this
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: gel together? And then, of course, Darian Mensah. I mean,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know that he has Cooper Marquette. You know that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he has Malachi Toney. Who do you have as the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: third option? Is it maybe Elijah Lofton, the tight end?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Do maybe you go with one of the freshmen that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: could have a breakout game? Is it potentially Van Jacobs
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that comes on in from South Carolina? Because remember, Cam
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Vaughn's gone off the team, got kicked off. So who
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is that third guy that just reminds everybody, this is
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: why you can't sleep on a Shannon Dawson offense and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: why they're going to be in the playoff once again.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I love the talk around the defensive line and shout
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: out Melissa, hoodie girl, Canes fan that brought this up.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Cause I asked Eric McLean about this. They have two
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: guys that are projected to go in the first round,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a defensive tackle this year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So the big question is about, Oh man, can the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: defensive line stay as good as they were? Well, guess what?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: The defensive end transfer in David Wilson projected to go
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: second round. If he plays as well as Miami folks
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: think he's going to play, they can have three first
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: round defensive linemen on that line there, just from those
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: three guys alone. That's not even counting what Lightfoot will be,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: what others that we've mentioned will be. That defensive line,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think, is going to be really, really freaking good. And, yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it may not be as sack-heavy as last year's was.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. The schedule's a little easier,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: so they could put up really crazy numbers. But... I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: love the comments there because again, in a game against Stanford,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: what are the things you want to see? Well, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to see them kind of jet laggy because
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of the way they played out at Cal two years ago.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You don't want to let them leave Cal around in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a game that they shouldn't for too long, of course.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But when you look at the specific things, what are
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: our questions about Miami this year? Well, it ain't running
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: back room. It ain't quarterback. It ain't wide receiver. It
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: ain't secondary. It's can they replace what they lost on
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: offense and defensive lines? I think they're going to mall
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Stanford up front on both sides, especially with the Stanford
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: injuries that are taking place right now. I think they'll
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: get some of the young quarterbacks in and Luke nickel
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and others. I think this could be an absolute bloodbath.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: When you talk about the ACC kind of being a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: one team league, which it feels that way this year.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And then you look at the other end with the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Stanford's and the Boston colleges of the world. This is
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not a good matchup. If you were going to play
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a road game in California at any point this year
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: as Miami, You probably want it week one. This sets
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: up really well for the Canes. I don't know what
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the spread is, but give me an alt line for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Miami to even cover that as well.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Miami 24 and a half over under 48 and a half.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: If Miami wants to cover the spread, they will. Yes.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: If Mario wants to, that's kind of how I look
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: at this. And that's why the big spreads are tough
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: because we saw that last week with Stanford. I'm sorry,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with USC, Miami could go into the fourth quarter up 30.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And Stanford outscored them by 10 in the fourth quarter
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: because Miami puts all the backups in.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Backups in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So you lose the spread. If Miami wants to cover
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this spread, they will. I'll take the Canes to roll.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Take the Canes to win. I'm going to say backdoor
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: cover by Stanford.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I think 24 and a half is a big number
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to period in general i think there's the chance of
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: like i said maybe a slow start by miami you
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: might look at the first half score and be like
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: oh that's a tighter game and it might not really
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: feel that way if you're watching it consistently so i
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: i think i'm with you i think stanford just barely
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: covers this but i think this is miami handily see
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: i don't even.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Think that i think it's more so they put bta
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: but then backups come in and then we have a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: conversation like we did about usc oh look at that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: defense and how putrid it was you ain't giving up
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: 21 points baby you'll give up 10 Like I agree
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: with TJ, like 10. So it's like a 31 disadvantage
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: now turns into a 21 disadvantage. Like that's where you are.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But Miami rolls. Miami gives us a reasonable lead that
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Darian Metz is a Heisman Trophy finalist, and this offense
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is once again going to be as potent as possible.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Let's give some love quickly to prize picks. I've got
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: five picks there listed on the left. All new users
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: play a $ 5 lineup, get $ 150 in lineups if you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: win using code HMA. I want you guys to buy
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: or sell each one of these picks that I have listed. I'm,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I am setting this lineup. So we'll see who ends
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: up being right. Who doesn't, um, I'm a buy for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: all five of these Cole. So when you're grading this
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: on the week, like clearly I'm a buy, I set
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the lineup, but I want to know if you guys
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: are buying and selling each one of them and we'll
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: go right down the list. Mark Fletcher scores in any
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: time touchdown. It's more or less than half. I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: he scores once against Stanford.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Agreed more. I don't think that's even something you have
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to think that much about. Bye.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Cause I think he's getting two touchdowns in this game.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: So a hundred percent.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We're teasing that one up. King Miller scores a touchdown
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: against Fresno State for USC. Yeah, I'll buy that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he got more of the carries than Wayman Jordan,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: but part of that was just spelling Wayman Jordan. So
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I think we'll see the two of them continue to
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: split carries early in the season here and especially against
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: lesser competition. Both guys get an opportunity.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I'll go with that with Miller.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I'll be a contrarian sellout. Give me Waymond Jordan three
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: touchdown day. But Miller ends up with more rushing yards.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: If we all five buy all of them, then one,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a genius or we're all idiots. Two, it's not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: fun if you guys buy and sell everything. I did
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: try to pick five things I legitimately believed would happen.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: This isn't like a try and trick Tom and Cole.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm setting this lineup and so risking the money. Cam Cook,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: running back for West Virginia, gets a touchdown against Coastal Carolina.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: They're a 20-plus point favorite. And I think they want
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to go pretty run heavy out there in West Virginia.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I think Cam Cook does score in any time touchdown. Yeah,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that's a good buy.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I think I'll take that. I like that action.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? I'm sorry. We can't always just go
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: sell and be the contrarian. I'll go buy for this one.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Cam Cook was a damn good running back at Jacksonville State.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: He's in the same offense personnel. Jeremiah Smith gets one
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Who does Ohio State have?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Is it Grambling?
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Football it's not ball state ball state yeah i think
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: that's a buy yeah.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna drop the ball on this one so
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: give me a buy as well.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: All right here's a fun one dj lagway's passing total
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is set at 238.5 i altered that down to 199.5
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: so does he get 200 yards passing against auburn I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: tried to make that one a little easier because it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a five teamer.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I think I'm going to say yes. And like, it's,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: it's not a huge number. It's enough that he should
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: be able to put some, some yardage up.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I like lagway.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: He's as likely to throw four interceptions as he is
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: to throw for 400 yards. So I'm not entirely sure
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: this could literally go either way. So I coin flip,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say yes.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I want to be different, but again, I already told you,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the number four passing offense in the country was Baylor
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: last year, and they didn't lose Jake Spavitol. So a
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: guy that's known for throwing it and also throwing it
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a lot, even though there's a lot of turnovers, he's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the perfect Baylor quarterback in this current regime. So I'm
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: going to take the more. So bye.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't love it at 238. I do like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it at 199.5. Is it wrong that I loved it
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: at 238? I actually loved it at 238. I could
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: see it– When you're putting five things together, I feel
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: like you need a little insurance.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: See, I could have seen him... I could see him
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: going for 333 and two touchdowns and four picks. Like,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: that's a lot I could see happen.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Eric for the great comment there on
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the bottom.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: GBM.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: The prize pick segment. Again, play $ 5, get $ 150 in
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: lineups when you use code HMA. Cole, how did we
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: do last week? Do you have that quickly? You went.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Three and two. Tom went three and two. I went
• 13:33
