Me neither. Miami is a bad team and so is South Carolina. Seriously - the Gamecocks are not a good football team. They might lose eight games this year. Vandy gets Auburn, Florida, and Tennessee at home this year - I'll start being impressed with them if they can snag a win against one of those three and not lose any of their games against other bad teams like Ole Miss.
Vandy runs a sort of option offense that's not remarkably different from RR's - the major difference is they use their quarterback to run whereas we're using running backs. A lot of the misdirection stuff is the same. Miami got shredded for 5.4 yards a carry. I don't think we'll top that, but I've got faith that Miami's defense is bad enough to make our offense look a lot better than it did last week.

I dunno about the point spread, because it would require us to score at least two touchdowns - iffy. And my one-vbet-a-week is going to Texas Tech on the absurdly generous spread they're given against Nevada. But I really don't see how anyone could pick Miami to win outright after they get crushed by Vanderbilt.
I don't think Miami will win, but after seeing that offense, I have my doubts that they can make the spread.
