Just got home. Can someone please update me on Nesbitt. If he is playing I'm on GT and Over. If he's not I'm on Miami and the Under.

I'll be surprised if Miami puts up double digits tonight to tell you the truth. The defensive line for GT should dominate the game and Miami doesnt have the ability to get the ball downfield like FSU did when they put up 28 on GT. I dont care how athletic your defense is, it almost works against you on the option. You need to have discipline to defend it and I dont trust a bunch of Miami athletes to show any composure

Miami is still on a 5 game win streak so they must be doing something right.

Since this is not a Bibendi Special, I feel a little more confident on this pick. I do not know how GT will cover cause I definitely do not trust Nesbitt throwing the ball...that kid is horrible. The only way GT will win this game is through the run/option and Miami has done very well recently against the run. GL though, I see a balanced attack from Miami and that GT secondary is real suspect, but so is Miami's.  But like I said, I don't think nesbitt will pick apart Miami's weak secondary.

UCF 20-14
@ Duke 49-31...losing for awhile
Wake 16-10
@ UVA 24-17...took a miracle bomb to even get to OT
VT 16-14....VT sucks and still had a chance to win
 
GT went into Blacksburg and dominated the Hokies but got unlucky in losing the game. Miami may be on a 5 game winning streak but I hardly call it impressive.

Good luck tonight. As you saw, I'm on the other side. At least someone will knock the man out tonight!

Nesbitt wont pick apart the secondary. In fact, hell hardly pass the ball. He isnt horrible though, he is in an option offense and he runs it very well. Dwyer moving to fullback has paid huge dividends for GT and they dominate games. In case nobody remembers, GT vs FSU was another Bibendi Special. People were claiming FSU was too athletic and fast to stop the option. GT dominated the game and wouldve won by 20 points if Nesbitt didnt get hurt and the backup come in and turn the ball over on consecutive possessions. I dont care how athletic Miami is, the option is a different beast and they have great players in the key positions

Bib,
 
Your picks especially during the week have been spot on lately. One thing that scares me about GT is the way UNC took away the option and GT couldn't recover. Do you think UNC scripted the defensive playbook on how to dismantle GT?

Something you might not have realized from that game

Total Yardage:

GT 423, UNC 314

GT had 326 yards on the ground.

By no means did UNC take away the option, GT just didnt capitalize. They are a good home team this year too

This is tough TRAIN,

On the one hand, I dont think Miami scores very much. On the other hand I think if GT scores a few early with the option Miami will extend the game by passing the ball. Strong lean toward the Under but I'm more confident playing the Yellow Jackets tonight
