ESPN Pre-Season FPI: 15
GT / Miami FPI Differential: +7.6

Da U is back. At least that's what we are hearing. Thursday night in Miami, they will be lucky to pack in 20,000 fans.

They will be breaking in a new QB, so at this point in the season he will either be hitting his stride, or they will be trying to figure out which QB should be the starter. They will be solid at the RB position, and their defense will be strong as well.

Another interesting thing about Miami is that their schedule is pretty weak. We are potentially their 3rd toughest opponent other than FSU and ND and they certainly have their toughest games spread out through the season.

Our offense was shredding them last season - we struggled with penalties and turnovers. Our players have even commented that they didn't stop our offense offense - we did. We should have QB figured out by then and should be a good game.
 
we have no chance of winning. we need to convert to the play action offense like Alabama. Chan Gailey knew how to win against Miami. hurricanes 223, jackets -2
 
Surprised to see the sub 0.5 section dominating, here. Last year's game we dropped two fumbles and threw a pick. Two of those turnovers (back to back) lead directly to 7 points each. We consequently lost by 14.

As long as we don't do that nonsense again, we're at least even with last year's Miami team. We outgained them, rushed for almost 300 yards, and were way over 50% passing. They went 1-7 on third down, and only held the ball for 20 minutes. If we turn in a performance at least that good, and don't spot them 14, they are dead meat this year.

Is this year's Miami team as good as last year's? Maybe, but I don't see any reason to think they would be so much better without their star QB.
 
Miami's star QB seemed less effective every year. It could be I just overrated Kayaa from the start

I hear you, I was really tempted to go .5 but the home advantage swing is a thing.

The Richt curse is also a thing.

.4 for me.
 
They've won two in a row and seven out of eight.
Richt owns us for whatever reason.
We're playing in Miami.

On the other hand, we're due. And I'll be there.

We win.
 
This game could be for all the marbles. Tough place to play for us. If both teams have a great record going in, it could be the game of the year. Of course, if both teams have multiple losses, bleh!
