I said earlier this Spring that the DL would be a strength of the team, and the Spring game showed that. I know Willis was very productive, but the DL as a unit might be the best since the Butch/Coker years. Across the board, they are stacked. The transfers from VT and UCLA will have to fight for reps

I like DeeJay Dallas, but Cam’Ron Harris looks really good. Harris might see more reps as the season progresses. And Lingard could also be a factor if he is healthy. The Canes look good at RB, if healthy. OC Enos isn’t CMR or Thomas Brown, so I expect him to prepare and play the RBs that give him the best chance to put up points

Northwestern won the state championship. Canes commit Brooks scored a defensive TD.

If Jack Allison lights it up for WVU in the Bowl game, then that should send a clear message to CMR that a new QB coach and OC should be hired

The Canes are now a -4.0 point favorite against Wisconsin, after opening at -3.0.

potential Miami OC Kenny Dillingham ...rumors are swirling Posted by: mi@mic@ne | December 03, 2018 at 04:53 PM mi@mic@ne I could go for that. Dillingham is young but his offense at Memphis put up some big numbers this season, 40+ points. His record at Memphis is the exact opposite of the Canes OC. If they make the announcement early enough, Dillingham can also help us try to salvage what is left of the Canes recruiting class on offense for 2019.

Soup made an early Christmas wish to close out the Canes 2018 season with two wins and a bowl victory. Since then, the Canes stepped up and man-handled two bowl eligible ACC teams. I predict Soup will get his Christmas wish in NYC, with another big blowout win over a bowl eligible team, Wisky.

The one positive thing is that the 2020 and 2021 recruiting classes are loaded with studs. The question (the same question every year it seems) is whether the Canes can hold on to these commits through NSD?

Miami opens as a -3 point favorite in the Pinstripe Bowl against Wisconsin on December 27th

mi@mic@ne we need an spread offense like OU and UCF ..made to produce yards and points. speed the game up Posted by: mi@mic@ne | December 02, 2018 at 07:19 PM 💯! The Canes aren’t recruiting the personnel to run a pro style offense, and the Canes have the athletes to run the spread successfully

OL Egukuan from Jacksonville flipped to the Gators, and we offered OL Smith from Central. Both are probably an OG or C. I saw Central play a few times, and I like Smith, but That one still hurts. FSU and UF are out-recruiting the Canes right now. No sugar-coating this.

mi@mic@ne Dabo talks like he will stay at Clemson in one breath and then he leaves the door wide open on another breath...hes looking for a lot of money to go to Cleveland. Posted by: mi@mic@ne | December 01, 2018 at 08:50 PM Go Dabo, go take that money! 💰💰💰💰💰

UCF has 698 yards of total offense with a freshman QB, starting his second game. The freshman threw for 348 yards, 2 Tds and 0 ints I am sure its not a coincidence. UCF has good offensive coached

IMHO, UGA loss is better for the Canes, given that we compete against UGA a little more in recruiting than Alabama. UGA didn’t make the final four and didn’t beat Alabama, so that’s one less item in the UGA recruiting pitch. If Tucker leaves and takes Coley with him, that’s just one less credible threat to cherry pick five and four stars from our backyard. More importantly, UGA can’t tell recruits that they won the SEC or a national championship because they got rid of our current coach, CMR, and hired Kirby Smart.

Hurts has been the MVP on offense (Can we keep the next Jerry Juedy in our backyard? ). IMO, Tua can kiss that Heisman goodbye

UGA and Bama have too many really good players from the Canes backyard. The Canes must find a way to stop that from happening

Waddle is fast! Alabama has some fast WRs

Tua looks like a Canes QB so far

If Bama doesn’t turn things around soon, this could get ugly.

Bama will have to lean on that running game to win this one.

Bama has some problems. UGA is taking this game right to Bama.

Mel Tucker to UC-maybe he takes Coley with him and the pipeline from South Fla to Georgia slows down http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25423832/mel-tucker-georgia-bulldogs-defensive-coordinator-considered-top-candidate-colorado-buffaloes-coach Posted by: TJL | December 01, 2018 at 11:30 AM Coley would make a great OC for the Buffalos. I would love to see it happen. 😉

UGA is making Tua look bad right now.

I meant Brinson. He is only a sophomore, but he is what a #1 receiver looks like. The Canes need more like him. I heard he likes the Canes, so we will see.

Damn Northwestern got hot at the right time-they were 5-5 during the season Mel Tucker to UC-maybe he takes Coley with him and the pipeline from South Fla to Georgia slows down http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25423832/mel-tucker-georgia-bulldogs-defensive-coordinator-considered-top-candidate-colorado-buffaloes-coach Posted by: TJL | December 01, 2018 at 11:30 AM Great point about Northwestern TLJ. Miami-Dade teams play a tough schedule. Of the five regular season losses, two were to nationally ranked teams IN THEIR DISTRICT, Miami Central and Carol City. Another loss was to South Dade, who is loaded and just lost to Columbus, who made the State Championship game in 8A. They also lost to Columbus, and they lost to IMG. Bottom line, any team that goes through that schedule is not your typical five loss team. So FHSAA recognized that some teams had tougher schedules, so they changed the format to look at strength of schedule, rather than overall records. TLJ, your point about MNW getting hot is well taken. Football is South Florida is really on a totally different level. Every game with these teams are loaded with college bound players, and there are very few scrubs that see the field. I saw MNW play this season, and IMO, they were the best team in their District, much less 6A, but they got hot and their opponents didn’t play their best games. Still, MNW is talented enough so that if they make the playoffs and beat the Miami-Dade teams, the have a chance to win the state. Their QB VELEZ has played well, and I like his receivers (esp. Bronson, sophomore #80) and RB. The defense also stepped up, and they are football players.
