They have a bunch of one score victories over a bunch of 6 win teams.

Kind of reminds me of us in 2017.

Eventually, you won't get the lucky bounce in a close game.

Eventually you'll have to play someone who hasn't already lost 4 games this year.

They are 2017 Miami 2.0. They’ve got the rank, but the more you look at them, the less you see a Top 5 team. And our 2017 team had far more impressive wins.

They should’ve beat us by 40. They didn’t have the juice to do it. They expected to do it since they’re better than last year, except we’re far better than last year too. We couldn’t overcome starting 6 True Freshman, including a first road start at QB, but we kept it very close with a chance to win. The stat line also shows parity. A “few plays” is all you need to win a football game. They’ve got two wins I can attribute to flukes, so funny that it’s their excuse now.

Like our 2017 team, they’re starting to experience the injury bug. Their own insiders/podcasters have been talking about how Coleman and Wilson and banged up. You can see the difference on their offense. Even Bud Elliot, on his podcast, said that they’re not gonna be 100% by the time they play UL in the ACC Championship. This season ends in 1 of 2 ways. 1) the lose to UL in the ACC Championship, and play in a NY6 bowl against a decent team, while having a bunch of their guys sit out. 2) they beat UL and go to the CFP, where a 2014 repeat happens and they lose to UGA or whoever by 20+.

They looked better at the start of the season than they have recently. They are a good team no doubt, and they will finish the year 11-3 at a minimum (this is assuming UF could somehow beat them which is low probability but could happen). However, they lose 90% of their offensive production next year. They’re losing 62% of their starts overall. They’re gonna take a big step back, and those last three classes ranked 23rd, 20th, and 19th are gonna show. They need to land the class they have now, and nail the portal again with 10-15 guys. Otherwise it’s 7-5 next year.

Hope that the kid is alright; that was a nasty injury.

I've been saying all year that they're 2017 us. We had some major injuries late in the season that derailed us. They're seeing the same thing now. They'll win this game, but their matchup in the Swamp next week just turned into a tossup.
