FSU football: Top three Miami weaknesses benefitting the Noles
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football will look to put an end to their four-game losing streak in the series against the rival Miami Hurricanes Saturday afternoon.
The Noles find themselves as slight betting underdogs against a team that’s find a spark after looking like they were down for the count four weeks ago.
Many folks are surprised Miami isn’t more of a betting favorite with how the Noles have looked in their last two games, but they have faced two of the better and more talented teams in the ACC.
Miami could have easily lost their last three games, winning all three by a combined eight points.
FSU has the better offense and defense when looking at FEI advanced metrics, but Miami does have an edge in special teams.
It’s an important game because it’s FSU/Miami, but the Noles have a lot riding on this one. There will be some big-time recruiting targets on official and unofficial visits. The outcome of this game could swing the momentum in those recruiting battles.
Despite popular opinion, I think this is a game the Noles have a decent shot to win outright. Miami has some major holes that have been overlooked because of who they have played and how they matchup.
Here are three Miami weaknesses that benefit the Noles.
