re: In Depth analysis from Canes fan

Funny thing is, if Malik Rosier was at LSU right now he would be your starting QB. Ask yourself, are you more confident in Burrows, guy who could not earn any significant playing time and consistently lost QB battles at OSU, basically a reject with no experience

or

Rosier 31 TDs , big wins, big game experience, better athlete, led team to 10 win season, conference champ., started 10-0 the year prior?

Mind you Rosier was playing injured half the year.

Who are you taking? Lol

You sound like the Notre Dame fans. They said they would wear us down and they were too physical. Well, we slapped them, dominated them the whole game.

You do not have the best front 7 in CFB I don't know if I can take you seriously...

You are underrating Miami severely because of your SEC bias. Fact is SEC is a top heavy conference. You have Bama and Georgie, no one else is elite.

Big facts

Miami plays a weak schedule of course stats are inflated.

For fricks sake quit focusing on Burrow. No one knows what he’ll be game 1. Focus on the fact that y’all will not be able to do shite against our defense. LSU had a rebuilding year on D last season and still finished as a top 12 defense. No doubt anyone with common sense can see a scenario where Miami wins because there really is no predicting offense but you’re kidding yourself if you think Miami is going to out athlete LSU defense and Malik is going to have his way throughout the game. We’ve been through this too many seasons. We’ll lean on our defense and keep the ball on the ground. We’ll either be able to run the ball or we won’t and that’ll be the game.

Okay, look at our common opponent, Notre Dame.

I think it is very fair to say that we have much more talent on Offense that LSU does on theirs

At this point the only way to measure talent would be to go off of recruiting rankings (4 major recruiting services) . I only included the highest ranking for each individual player and omitted the lowest. Starters only (just for kicks).

LSU Average * Rating 3.72 Miami Average * Rating 3.6

So it’s a lot closer than you think . I feel like both LSU & Miami both have lights out Defenses with the slight edge possibly leaning towards LSU because of better Depth . It would be interesting to do the same research (defense only)

Miami ain't done shite since the season after Butch left; that ole Larry Conrad took over and won it, but then it all went to hell. And I've been watching Mark Rickt for many years. He ain't shite. Miami ain't shite.
