Lets Go Canes Part Trois - Ole Miss

[phinsforlife]

The big night is close!

Unlike the prior two games, we are now the favorite. Canes -3, with a 51 point over/under. Quite a different picture than the prior games.

I hate being the favorite, because being the underdog was a great setup for us. We are not going to get the benefit of the opposition not taking us seriously.

Ole Miss has that going for them now, for myriad reasons including their head coach bailing. Unclear to me how engaged their staff is going to be, because many of them are on their way to LSU. For a period of time there were rumblings they might not even be available to coach this game. Some of them are gone, but Charlie Weiss Jr., the OC, will still be calling the plays.

The over/under is much higher this game. Vegas expects them to be able to score on us, and us to be able to score on them, which is also a change.

We stick to our knitting, and keep the intensity and hitting up on both sides of the ball, we can win this game and be in the National Championship.

Who would have thunk it?

Let's go boys - go out there, play smart and disciplined, stay aggressive, don't turn the ball over, be physical and violent, and we can go belt to ass one more time.

Let's go Canes!

PS I hate "Ole" Miss. Just be Old. So dumb!

This is a pretty big burden to deal with from a coaching perspective. Read the article.

LSU's Weis with Rebels; has done 'terrific job'

Ole Miss offensive assistant Joe Judge praised offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. for how he has been able to juggle his responsibilities with the Rebels and LSU.

The Canes need to go in there hungry and shut down the Ole Miss offense. On offense play as previous games. Do not fall behind forcing Beck to become a turnover machine. That is the only way we lose.

I hate that we’re favored.

Gotta keep the underdog/shock the world mentality.

I think the Canes are going to grind them down, especially our D! Last game was a Slug Fest.

The key to winning any big game is minimizing mistakes!!

What these kids need is ravenous thirst for blood and glory.

Miami has the better O-line and D-line and the more experienced QB. I don't think ole miss will be able to stop the run or get much pressure on Beck. Texas A&M and Ohio St had much better O and D lines and Miami was able to neutralize them. That being said, im still nervous.

It's fun just thinking there is a chance of success. As a Dolphins fan, it's a weird belief

Only watched the highlights but I thought the Ole Miss QB looked excellent in the last game and I've never heard anyone talk about him, is he going to be in the draft this year?

One more game and we will play at the rock for all the marbles

I hope the media dept is smart enough to challenge the fans to be like the old orange bowl vibe and noise

Actually we should start that campaign asap

He’s trying to get one more year of eligibility

He’s probably thinking if Bryce young can go #1 he can at least be a first round pick

Thanks, Miami Hurricanes, for giving us fans something great this season that the Dolphins did not provide us. The Dolphins and Hurricanes are my two teams. I grew up in Miami and I have since moved to SC. But they are still my two teams.
The Cane's success has helped me through this **** show the Dolphins are displaying. The Canes, a team I can enjoy on Saturdays. Then the Dolphins doing Dolphin things on Sunday. At least I have Saturdays.
We have a winner in Miami.
My hope is we make it to Hard Rock to play in the national championship game. How fitting would that be after what we have had to endure with the Dolphins.
The Hurricanes are a complete football team. Built from the inside out.
We are tough and physical. And thankfully we have a team in S Florida that's a winner.
Thursday we play in a neutral stadium. I hope we pack some of our fans at in at Glendale. Show support. Support the best team in college football.
Good luck Miami.

It actually should just be Mississippi. It's equivalent to UF. It's abbreviated Miss. Ole Miss is actually just in the logo.

+3 isn't really being favored. Especially in college football.

It seems to be an easy under bet to me. I'd be surprised if either team scored 26 points. If you combine the over/under with the line, the prediction is 27-24 UM.
