Miami is 4-2; 4-0 at home with road losses to Cincinnati and FSU. They’ve beat Bethune-Cookman , Florida Atlantic, Nebraska, and this past weekend VT.

This could be an interesting game. We’ve got two offenses that are ranked about the same with a slight numbers advantage to us. Passing offense is about the same number wise, although the ND monsoon game definitely cuts into our passing numbers. Stats say that we should be able to run the ball especially considering that Miami’s leading tackler is out for the season. If they pack the box to stop the run we’ll exploit them with the pass (just ask BC). Scott/Elliot have done a good job of keeping us balanced and exploiting what the D is giving us. Plus DW has a great understanding of the game and makes monster checks. There’s a level of trust between the three of them.

The one thing that really jumps off the page and is a little worrisome is the turnover margin; Miami is ranked #1 and CU #81. We HAVE to protect the ball and limit the mistakes… we can’t give the Cane’s hope by stumbling out of the blocks.

I said it last week, DW still hasn’t had that “wow” game. Take away the interceptions from this past weekend and that was probably the closest that he’s come. He’s still not completely dialed in… but he is so close. He missed a couple of open receivers by only a step or two. WRU was on display this past week and I expect another great show. Peake had arguably his best game against BC and Scott & Cain just plain showed out. Gallman ran hard all night long but there was just nothing there (BC’s front 7 are legit). I think he’ll have a good game and get 100+ yards. Brooks at times looked like his old self, (please spend some time with him on pass protection this week).

Miami typically has a poor crowd but playing the #6 team in the nation will bring a few fans out of the woodwork. I like the fact that it is a noon game, less time for the crowd to get liquored up on Mojitos. The forecast is for scattered showers…so we should feel right at home. Bottom line…protect the ball and we’ll have this game in hand no later than the 3rd quarter.

Prediction: CU 38 MIAMI 21
