00:00There's a lot, man. This is the most talk we've had about another coach, Manny Diaz,
00:05former head coach for the Miami Hurricanes, and has always been a great defensive coordinator.
00:10Whatever you think of Manny, he's always been a good defensive coordinator,
00:14and he looks like he's turned into a really, really good head coach as well.
00:17What he's done at Duke, a lot of people, I happen to think it's going to happen too,
00:22that he's going to be the next coach of Florida State.
00:26But for right now, he's got one thing on his mind and a little payback for his quarterback
00:35and Barcate, our best wide receiver we have right now out there.
00:40And those guys decided to come down here, and here we go.
00:45Game doesn't need to be hyped up.
00:47It's a big game, especially for the Miami Hurricanes.
00:51When we did this schedule at the beginning of this thing, when it was released, Joe,
00:55you looked at it and you go, man, if they can get to those last three games.
00:59Right. I agree.
01:01And this is where you're at.
01:02You're ranked seventh.
01:04You're a lock to get into the playoffs should you win the next four games.
01:07You've got to win the ACC championship game too, I would think.
01:12You don't want to leave that up and end up playing Wake Forest in a championship game
01:17and lose by two or three, although you still have a chance.
01:19Well, it'd be tough.
01:21It'd be tough, yes.
01:22But the teams in front of you are going to get knocked around as well,
01:26so you have a chance to move up a little more.
01:28But this is the ideal situation, right?
01:32You're going to be heavily favored in every game the rest of the way.
01:34The ideal situation would have been to win that last game and come down here.
01:39Perhaps.
01:39But the second one.
01:41Yeah.
01:42But you get what I'm saying.
01:42No, you've got to take care of this game.
01:44And by the way, who knows how, if Miami would have beaten Notre Dame,
01:47who knows how cruel the committee would have been if they would have lost one of these three.
01:51Yeah.
01:52You know, these are games where Miami's going to be heavily favored at home.
01:56Notre Dame.
01:57By the way, this is why everybody made, and people are still writing articles about the
02:01Canes dropping a seven, which honestly is a waste of time and terrible writing to even mention it.
02:07What, do you think it was fair, unfair?
02:08It was fine.
02:09Yeah, it was fine, right?
02:10And by the way, Notre Dame, the week before when everybody was whining about poor Notre Dame,
02:15they knew they had Miami, and they knew if they won this game, this was going to happen.
02:19Yep.
02:20Notre Dame's going to stay home for a while if they went out here.
02:24That's the kind of respect they're going to get.
02:27So, you just got to take care of the schedule, and you can't worry about it.
02:31And that's what Mario Cristobal's down there preaching right now and making sure that everybody
02:36understands you got to play better.
02:38I got three questions, man.
02:40I got three questions.
02:41And Barkay's not one of the things I'm worried about, and I'm not worried about Mensa, but
02:47I do.
02:48How's pass protection going to be?
02:50Let's get into the real issues of this team instead of the whole thing.
02:55You've given up 35, 35, and 31 to Florida State, North Carolina, and Notre Dame.
03:02Those numbers, you're playing with fire when you give up those kind of numbers.
03:06Those games can go either way, and you win two out of three of them.
03:10The second one is pass rush.
03:14Can we get a pass rush?
03:16And I'm not talking about last year's pass rush.
03:19That was a different level.
03:21That thing has nothing in common, should never be mentioned with this group of guys, ever.
03:27The third one is can we cover?
03:29Got to cover.
03:30You're not going to get pressure all the time.
03:32You got to be able to cover.
03:35You got to be able to cover.
03:37We've been giving up some big, big numbers to everybody.
03:41Those are three questions, man.
03:43Two of them on defense and one on offense with that offensive line.
03:48Don't you think you look around the other teams, and everyone's a little bit flawed, right?
03:52To me, maybe Georgia, but there's not really a team that jumps out at you that's like,
03:56man, this is like the perfect team.
03:59Like, everyone's kind of a little bit flawed.
04:01Woody, here's the problem while you're saying that, okay?
04:03I'm going to disagree with you a little bit.
04:04Some of these numbers are very – where they rank right now in some of these numbers
04:09does not look like a one-loss team.
04:11I'm just – please don't take it the wrong way because our quarterback might be the best –
04:15he didn't take a backseat to too many players.
04:18Mensa is that good.
04:19And that's the greatest neutralizer you have.
04:22I feel like I said this a couple years ago with Cam Ward.
04:27Well, you're right, though.
04:28You can't win every game in a shootout.
04:30But, you know –
04:30Eventually, it catches up to you.
04:32Everybody's come out.
04:33Our writers have done a good job in the last few days burying everybody,
04:37talking about where we rank nationally.
04:39And some of those numbers, when they're that low, they don't look like a playoff team.
04:48I don't know how else to say it.
04:49So, now you just got to win.
04:51And if you got to win in a shootout, like I said, I've been in the shootouts.
04:56I've seen it when the killer bees were destroyed and 13 just put the team on his back
05:02with what he had and just said, boys, we are going to outscore everybody.
05:05And it got us to a Super Bowl.
05:07We got the Super Bowl with a defense that by the time we got there,
05:12the amount of surgeries that were done on A.J. Dewey and Baumhauer
05:16and all the guys on that defense, Bo, those guys were beating up a bunch of killer bees
05:22plus the guys that didn't – names like Dewey that didn't start with a bee.
05:27And so, you just got to – you guys got to find wins.
05:30I don't think all these things are going to get cleaned up playing Duke.
05:33No.
05:33I don't.
05:34You kind of are what you are at this point, right?
05:36Yes.
05:36I mean, I don't know that anything's going to get –
05:38But you get enough stops.
05:39Necessarily.
05:40You get timely stops.
05:41You score.
05:42You're more consistent.
05:43You get off to a better start offensively.
05:46You get a running game so you don't have to throw it every frigging down by 21.
05:51Bottom line is you have more talent, Joe.
05:54You have a better football team than the next four teams that you were going to play.
05:58Now, could they find ways to beat you?
06:00Of course.
06:01It's happened every year.
06:05Well, I would agree with it.
06:07We had a better roster than Florida State, a better roster in North Carolina.
06:10We have a better roster than Duke.
06:12And we're in a knockdown drag out at the end of the game.
06:15One at home and one on the road.
06:17That's all I'm saying.
06:18I mean, we can break this thing down.
06:20It just feels like they put too much money, effort, all that into this whole thing
06:26to lose at home in a noon game to Duke and have your season be upended.
06:31Don't you agree?
06:32Like, all the effort and money and everything.
06:34Like, we go down there in spring and fall and they just put so much into it.
06:38And I don't want to see them lose at home to Duke.
06:41It'd be crushing.
06:43Well, that's why we're going to play it tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
06:45I know.
06:46Just tell everybody.
06:47What's the spread on this game right now?
06:50That's a great question.
06:50I haven't even looked at it.
06:52I saw it.
06:52You've been steering me away from the spreads.
06:55I have tried to a little bit.
06:56Because I don't want to look at it.
06:58It's your go-to.
06:59It's your hard rock app life you live.
07:01Well, I also, I don't, you know, do any wagering on Hurricanes games.
07:06Try to stay away from those, Joe.
07:10Haven't been very good as far as kids.
07:1113 and a half.
07:12Yeah, 13 and a half.
07:13So it's come down a little bit.
07:13That's a big number.
07:15That's a big number.
07:18Just win.
07:19Just win, seriously.
07:21Just win.
07:22Would I like to sit there halfway through the fourth quarter and have a 17-point lead?
07:27I would.
07:27But I don't think it's going to be that way.
07:29Love to beat traffic out of there.
07:32Oh, man.
07:33I don't know, though.
07:34You know, you don't have to run out of there when you've got a noon game.
07:36That's the beauty.
07:37Hell, you've got a little time to sit around.
07:38Hey, let's have a drink here before we go.
07:41Those post-game tailgates are interesting, too.
07:43Yeah.
07:44See those guys out there.
07:45Hey, we've got Larry Blustein.
07:47I always see Blue out at the games.
07:49Oh, yeah, Blue.
07:50Blue's a staple in a press box there, man.
07:52Blue was out at games last night.
07:54Blue was at games last night.
07:57The independent, some of the independent teams that aren't in different classifications
08:02played last night.
08:03He was out there.
08:05But we got some big games tonight.
08:08You want to talk about some great recruits and some great teams.
08:11A bunch of them are going to be here in South Florida tonight.
08:16Renzo Raines is going to be up at West Boca.
08:18I wonder if my boy Renzo is going up there to check that game out at West Boca.
08:22That should be one hell of a game.
08:24And Raines, I believe, out at Jacksonville, is undefeated right now.
