i'm surprised at the betting on this - also surprised miami is favored by 5

i'm hoping the canes can take this one, especially coming off that good rivalry win

i still have nightmares about GT running for damn near 500 yards against the canes last year

although the run D looked better this year and they didn't seem to be as undisciplined on option type plays i'm still very nervous about this

GT started out their last game on fire then cooled down a bit and it became a close game while miami fans can look at how jax st did against FSU and have their cloud deflated a little bit

this will be a really big test for the canes and i think it's a coinflip if they can pull it out or not

go U!

As much as I want Miami to win, Ga Tech is plain frightening with that running game. Miami's front 7 is thin and questionable. They will have to out score Tech.

that I can agree with - they need to get right again on the DE position - tough time to have guys start the season unable to go with such a brutal first 4

at least i'll be better dressed for this game - after seeing how excited I was over the win against FSU my wife decided to surprise me with a new miami shirt ..... this will be game 1 with the new gear

They will have to out score Tech.

I've yet to hear a coach utter "we got outscored but still managed to win".

Which makes me predict Tech wins. Scared to play the Yahoo Pick 'em?

Work has been crazy & failed to sign up. Figured I missed the boat after week 1.

You get the option of dropping your worst 2 weeks.

 

[ATLien]

GT is going to win!

 

[O]

GT has no answers.

Come on Over!

 

[MigratingOsprey]

wow - the canes handled them and still have a ton of room for improvement

i really like what harris brings to the offense behind the guidance of whipple

also who would of thunk that miami would have more rushing yards?!

very nice given recent history

 

[Southpaw]

If Whipple and Miami keeps this up, they lose Whipple to a HC job elsewhere. Short but sweet. Tough game in Blacksburgh next week.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

yeah - they need to do some heavy work on special teams before going up there to face beemer ball

i think this will be a good test for harris - i imagine his jersey will be a little dirty during this one - hope it doesn't rattle him
