First Road Game In What Will Be An Electric Atmosphere

Many folks don’t realize Miami played its first four games at home, and this will be their first time away from Hard Rock Stadium. It will be the most electric atmosphere they have played in thus far, and they are coming into the game off a bye week.

We’ve been on record about Miami’s offense and how they haven’t scored 30 or more points against either Power Four team they’ve faced this year. They haven’t gotten out of the gates like gangbusters against either team, and it’s not crazy to think they could get off to a slow start on Saturday night.

Nobody is saying the FSU offense is going to go up and down the field on the Miami defense, but let’s say the Miami offense gets off to a slow start and gets behind 7-0 or 10-3 early. The FSU defense seems to play off of how well the FSU offense plays, as it did against Alabama.

We could see a more focused defense on Saturday night that makes things difficult for a Miami offense that isn’t as dynamic as UVA or Alabama. If that happens and that FSU offense starts clicking, things could get spooky in Tallahassee.
