The Miami Hurricans went to Tampa final yr and had a primary half with the Bulls within the south of Florida which was generally slightly irritating from the standpoint of hurricanes.
The Bulls, led by the return of QB byrum Brown, designed discs within the first half to take the lead on Miami twice. They gathered 4 coaching periods within the first half of greater than 7 video games and had a contact on one other disc.
However the second half was one other story. Miami gathered discs of 10 and 12 items, imposing their will on the Bulls and exhibiting its expertise and its superior depth. The Bulls had been merely upgraded by the listing of rods from high to backside, whereas the Hurricanes have forward of the Bulls 28-0 within the final two quarters to win by disappearing 50-15.
There isn’t any doubt that, with an effort under Miami, that the Bulls are in a position to win this match. It’s tough to be something besides impressed by Brown, who ought to have his moments on Saturday at Onerous Rock Stadium. WR Keshaun Singleton was nice for southern Florida, with affected in every of his first two video games, together with a contact of 66 yards towards the Gators final week.
Protection of the USF additionally appears considerably higher than it did a yr in the past. In opposition to two groups categorized on the time within the state of Boise and Florida, they granted a big complete of 23 factors mixed. I do not care, it’s totally spectacular. The 2 groups moved the ball decently (378 yards for Boisse State and 355 yards for Florida), however the Bulls had been good to maintain the 2 offenses exterior the aim space.
However once I consider Saturday night, my thoughts continues to return to the second half of the match final yr and reference this with what I’ve seen up to now this yr. Miami strikes the defenders in addition to anybody prematurely at first of this 2025 season, and I don’t see the horses within the south of Florida to cease this for 4 quarters. I do not suppose they’ve the depth to hold for a whole match.
I made my selection of 33-20 Miami on Monday, however I feel that Miami has a terrific alternative on Saturday at house to win a victory on a group with likelihood of showing within the closing rating of soccer playoffs and doing it impressively.
We’ll realize it sooner if my instinct is simply, as a result of the ft meet leather-based in lower than 24 hours. Come on the canes!
