00:00 the road.
00:03 Three and a half in favor of Texas A&M, the right team on the road.
00:06 Yeah, look, we flipped that home field advantage though here and if Miami's going to have any
00:09 juice in an ACC that maybe is open at minimum looking for a second challenger.
00:15 They have a chance to make a statement here today against Texas A&M.
00:18 Now, here's the thing with A&M, that week one performance against New Mexico, you might
00:21 look at and go, "Ah, it's New Mexico."
00:23 No, no, no, no, no, no, it counts because last year at A&M, was it UMass late in that
00:27 season had an opportunity to make a statement?
00:29 I know some that were betting the over in that game.
00:31 Me, I know some that were left disappointed.
00:33 Me.
00:34 So at least it was nice to see A&M wake up a little bit there and they played a little
00:37 bit faster.
00:38 Joe, I'm wondering if these offenses surprised this week with a lower total than the low
00:42 50s.
00:43 Well, last year it was 23 points in the ballgame.
00:44 Mario Cristobal opted for field goals as opposed to touchdowns in the red zone.
00:48 Devon Aitching had a big performance, over 80 yards on the ground for Texas A&M.
00:53 But two things, it's unacceptable to not have fans for this ballgame in terms of South Beach.
00:58 If you're a Miami Hurricane fan, you gotta get out and support the team.
01:02 Secondly, you didn't bring Mario Cristobal in to go 5-7, lose to Duke, lose to Middle
01:07 Tennessee State, and not step up and cover this number.
01:09 Now, I'm sitting on a 7.5 point ticket.
01:12 I do give the edge to the Miami rushing attack.
01:15 They pounded the rock last week for 250 on the ground against Miami.
01:18 Oh, granted, Mac opponent.
01:20 But why is that important, Ben?
01:22 Because last year in their seven losses, they only averaged 98.3 rushing yards per game.
01:27 I think it's a different animal.
01:28 And at the end of the day, I'm not sold on Conor Wegman.
01:31 Especially on the road, in a true road environment, could be a deer in the headlights tonight.
