Win or lose vs the gators, there will be a 5 week stretch, including 2 bye weeks, until the real tests & meat of our schedule begins


Handling the bye weeks will be critical, using them to make depth chart changes & implement new plays


So if we beat Florida we need to keep the foot on the gas vs Savanah st, usf, & ga tech


If we lose to florida these 5 weeks will be perfect to make changes & get momentum going into our next national tv game at unc on a thirs nite


From the unc game on i have no idea how things will play out because our schedule is almost back loaded & late Oct & Nov is when injuries tend to happen

But the stretch of Sept 8 to Oct 16 will really show if this team grows & matures or if its still the same old Canes

Thats 39 DAYS with only 3 easy winnable games

Thats like an offseason


I hope the team uses it wisely

I'm thinking the 12 games in between fau and the Acc championship will be crucial as well.
 
That type of stretch is where a dominant running game and a stout defense can carry us through it unscathed! It all hinges on the defense getting turnovers and stopping people!

FSU & Florida are the only teams that we may lose to. So worst case we are a 2 loss team.

but losing to FSU and UF in one season will be the worst thing .. EVER because I will endup killing 2 of my friends by the following year.

We have an opportunity for a run...we just need our D not to play for the other team
 
Agree but that unc game scares me for some reason cuz its away on a thursday nite

My man, we haven't beat UVA in three years, and NC & VT always gives us trouble. So to say the only games Miami might lose is UF & FSU is a bit of a stretch.

That's such an embarrassing fact.

It makes me cringe.

In other words, for the most part we've had subpar records versus the most physical teams in the conference. OL has made strides the last few years. If the DL can too, those records will flip and get wider.

The further away UNC gets from having Butch's defensive recruits the less I worry about UNC.

Fedora don't scare me.

Our "South Florida talent" tend to fold when they get smacked in the mouth by a physical D. We'll see if things have changed.

Clean up on post #12!!
 
possibly the easiest schedule i've ever seen us have

Heaven sent too, with our team finally maturing and Morris being a senior. Al Golden is definitely going for broke this year!
