I would have to say no
That team, 1998 was already a growing defensive beast
Butch was putting his players in place and they were about to turn the corner from game changing to championship
That day was the first moment our O was about to flash the greatness to come
A game breaking WR core with a back that could carry both a collegiate team, and an NFL one
We knew UCLA would score, and often
It was the first time the O would find a way to win a game
This year is the polar opposite
We see a young, but potent and explosive offense
Still missing an identity, but one that can hang yards and points in bunches
It's the D that lacks this time
Too young and thin depth leave us at the mercy of well-oiled machines
See KSU and I suspect FSU later in the year
Not a player or two away but rather grand infusion of talent is needed
Yet, something tells me that this could be a real big surprise
Looking at ND, there is no explosiveness that would give me pause
Will they gain yardage on the ground, **** yeah
But will they hang 40 and 500 yards
Cannot see it
So, it will be very similar to the UCLA game, as the O will have to win it
But the D will have to dig deep and become suddenly stout
Now for the prediction
UMiami 34
ND 31
An upset, but not defining just yet
Next year, that comes!
