Enjoy your posts the below is from BC chatter, As BC guy not going to game but kids and their friends are going. Just food for thought on your selection.

Miami might be just 6-5 overall, and they might be 2-5 in the ACC, but they are no slouch. Their ACC losses are against good teams - FSU, Louisville, UNC, NC St., and GT...and remember that GT loss was the crazy one where they could have taken knees but didn't and then fumbled. They beat Texas A&M early, they beat Clemson, and they beat UVA. Through the season, both their offense and their defense has been more efficient than ours had been <https://x.com/JBudDavis/status/1726628289991909823?s=20> . BC has opened by a TD home dog <https://x.com/CircaSports/status/1726319814376137157?s=20> even though the Canes are currently riding a 3-game losing stream.



I'm sure you're all aware of Miami QB Tyler Van Dyke. He has been among the ACC QB leaders for the last couple years, and there has been all sorts of attention paid to him this season, too. At times he can be absolutely deadly. At other times, he can make some curious decisions, and some bad play during this losing streak actually caused him to lose his starting position heading into their matchup against FSU two weeks ago. However, the QB that started over Van Dyke, Emory Williams, went out hurt in that game, so Van Dyke finished up the game and was back under center last week, too, in their very close loss against Louisville.



When Van Dyke is on, he is a force. He completes over 61% of his passes in ACC play and has thrown for over 2400 yards already this season. But he also has thrown 12 interceptions this year, and that's more than he's thrown the last 2 years combined, and that's why he lost his starting job. An opportunistic secondary can take possessions away from Miami, but we're going to have play much better on defense than we did against Pitt for us to turn the tables on Van Dyke.



Miami has the #28 defense in the nation allowing 326.8 YPG (our D is #67). Miami has been exceptional against the run; they are #9 in the country allowing just under 93 rushing yards per game, although Louisville's terrific rushing game did gain 160+ against them. However, FSU only ran for 57, and NC St. only went for 108. And those are games that Miami lost! Miami is much more susceptible against the pass (80th in the nation averaging 233.9 YPG), but that's not exactly an area where BC has excelled lately.



This is going to be a very tough test for BC football. I'd really like us to get win #7 on the season, but we're going to absolutely need to play our best football of 2023 to do it, and we have not been doing that these last couple weeks. Hope springs eternal that we can put it together while maybe Miami has mentally checked out as they end a disappointing season. Who knows? But for us to win this, we are going to have to run effectively against a good rushing defense, we are going to have to pass effectively and not turn the ball over in key situations, and we're going to have to find a way to stymie a solid Miami offense, and that has been a big challenge for our defense these last couple weeks.

Appreciate the post. This is a horrible spot for Miami. Emotional last two games. Losing to FSU and Louisville. Now they go on the road to Boston in late November to try and get a seventh win. BC should try and shorten the game with Robincaux and Castellanos running the ball. Miami is very athletic but I would question their motivation. Love the spot for BC.
