Many sportsbooks took the Canes game off the board today due to rumors of Jacory's availability. It was -6.5 then dropped to -6 and even -5.5 at some of the joints where sharp guys like to take the underdog for big dimes.
Later in the day some places put it back up, and one of the -5.5 went up to -6. There seemed to be more confidence Jacory was likely to play.
Great win vs. Clemson. I was very scared of that game. We wouldn't have escaped in any recent season.
I still think Whipple is relying on too much finesse. Our OL almost never rocks forward in menacing stance. I'd love to see some basic sets with aggressive run blocking, particularly once we get inside the 10. It's petrifying to watch Jacory in tight quarters out of the shot gun. A poor decision or softball seems almost inevitable. Let him play action with a legit run threat and I think the mistakes could be minimized. Every INT comes out of the shot gun. Teams rotate forward and take more shots at Jacory once they realize we won't be physical in the trenches.
Besides, the running game has got to be more dependable to get where we want to go. I looked it up today and couldn't find a season from 2004 forth where we averaged 4 yards per rush. That's pathetic. Every season roughly 70 teams average 4+. Right now we're 3.85, almost identical to last year's 3.87.
I agree with others, at this point Jacory is virtually a given. The decisions aren't going to improve significantly, nor the arm strength. Have to accept the picks. I'm cringing less.
At first glance I don't expect the FSU game to be nearly as high scoring as others are projecting. It's a pivotal conference game between rivals, which tends to keep the scoring down. Miami's defense should get a major confidence boost after two road wins. Other than 2008 we've been playing lower games at home vs. FSU than on the road. The 2008 game was weird because Miami scored 39 without much yardage. It was a frantic catch up pace after FSU got a huge lead.
And Jacory definitely seemed bruised and bothered last week. You could see it in his face on the sideline during the second half. We scored 3 in that half. I think there will be a bit of a carry over, unless there are big plays galore.

Man, oh man. Can't WAIT for Saturday night! My favorite college football rivalry is about to go down in Miami. I hope we win of course, but I also hope it's another exciting FSU-UM game that they'll be showing on ESPN Classic for years to come.
Jacory's new nickname...
Pickory.

Can't wait for the game on Saturday night. Should be a good one. Hopefully Harris can at least limit his picks to 2 or 3. I know it's a stretch, but you never know.

UM-FSU sellout near
No matter what happens Saturday, the house will be rocking.
According to the University of Miami, the UM-FSU game is 500 tickets away from being a sellout -- and that's without the tarp that sometimes covers extra seats.
The UM media guide lists capacity for Sun Life Stadium as 75,540.
That's pretty exciting, if you're a Hurricanes or Seminoles fan. No home game in the Randy Shannon era has drawn more fans than the crowd expected Saturday. You just know it's going to be a wild environment to go along with what has become a wild game in recent years.
The lowest price for the available club-seat tickets was $295 as of about 5 p.m.

This is true. From what I've been told the tarps are coming off as well.
:hi5:
One more thing, demand for these tickets are so high that the AD made an agreement with Stephen Ross and "Club Liv" at the stadium will be open for this game.
Tickets to get in the club?
$225
Tickets to get in the club?
$225
Does that include the seat?
Yeah, a seat in the club to watch the game on TV lol. You gotta buy a club level seat to get into the game lol.
So...$225 + $295.

Bobby Bowden picks Hurricanes to beat Florida State on Saturday night
BOCA RATON — Bobby Bowden likes what he sees from Florida State so far this season, especially on defense. But he does not believe the team he coached for 34 seasons will beat Miami on Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.
"I feel like Miami (has the edge) because they are playing in Miami," Bowden said Friday before a signing for his recently published book.
"If it was in Tallahassee, I'd say Florida State. But the thing with Miami is - is the quarterback going to play steady enough?"
Hurricanes quarterback Jacory Harris has thrown eight interceptions, tied for the fifth most in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
FSU's defense is the reason Bowden believes the Seminoles are headed for a turnaround after finishing 7-6 in three of Bowden's final four seasons, including 2009.
The 23rd ranked Seminoles are 4-1, 2-0 in the ACC. No. 13 Miami is 3-1, 1-0.
Bowden said much of the credit for the improved defense should go to new coordinator Mark Stoops. Bowden cited Stoops' philosophy, which is based on zone principles, and his ability to bring out potential in young players.
"If they can keep up the defense, watch out," Bowden said.
Bowden was 14-21 against Miami as the head coach at Florida State. The rivalry blossomed into arguably the best in the country during that time with one of the two teams playing for the national championship 14 times between from 1983 through 2002. Saturday's 8 p.m. game on ABC will mark the 22nd time both teams are ranked at kickoff.
When asked for his memory of the series, Bowden said: "I think of two great teams playing and I think of how many champions came out of this game. I think of the years where if we kicked a field goal we would have won the national championship and if we miss it they win."
One of those was 1991, when Gerry Thomas missed a 34-yard field goal with 29 seconds remaining, giving Miami a 17-16 victory. It was the first of FSU's heartbreaking "Wide Right" games (along with one "Wide Left").
Bowden offered one of his most memorable quotes following the 1991 game.
"They're going to chisel on my tombstone 'He played Miami,' " Bowden said at the time.
He is proud but frustrated that he maintained the rivalry - before the schools joined the ACC - while other teams declined to play Miami.
"Florida dropped them," Bowden said Friday. "Penn State dropped them. Notre Dame dropped them."
Bowden vowed not to hover around the program this season and will keep his word Saturday, heading home to Tallahassee after a 10:30 a.m. book signing in Vero Beach. But, he said, he will be more interested in this game than any other he has watched this season.
"This one is has a little bit more significance because both programs can get a gauge on how far they have come," he said. "Both programs are on their way back to the top. Whoever wins this one can get a little ahead."

Jeezus. I didn't know Dan Henning was the OC for the Canes too. Get to the Noles 10 yard line and come up empty...gay.
