00:00I gotta be honest with you, Leroy, this Canes week, I want this like none other.

00:07I need the Canes to give Manny Diaz the business, and I'm nervous, I'm nervous.

00:17Here's the crazy thing about it is, is we still have that scar tissue, right, of sometimes

00:28down here, when you feel great and things are going great, something terrible happens

00:35in sports.

00:36And so you have that scar tissue.

00:39However, if I can comfort you and say this, this team has found a multitude of ways of

00:51winning football games, whether it's comeback, whether it's a street fight, whether it's

00:59back and forth, whether it's just controlling the game from start to finish, they found

01:07a number of different ways to win football games.

01:11That's the sign of a good team.

01:13If you can only play football one kind of way, then you are susceptible to lose to a

01:18team that just does something that you can't defend or whatever.

01:24So I understand that.

01:27Here's what I would say.

01:28At this point in the season, the only thing that can cost the Miami Hurricanes a football

01:36game are the basic fundamentals of football.

01:41That is, protect the football, right?

01:46Tackle and block.

01:48That's it.

01:49Because if there is ever a problem, you're going to go back to those three things.

01:58And they've had a propensity to give up big plays.

02:02Now, I don't know if Duke is going to have a Restrepo on their team or a guy who's going

02:12to have seven, eight catches for 150.

02:15I don't know if they have that guy, but they have been unbelievably giving up.

02:31They've been unbelievably giving up big plays at some of the worst times when you think

02:36they have control of the game.

02:37So yeah, this is the thing that makes me nervous.

02:39Like Smithen is saying, being nervous as a 21 point favorite is embarrassing.

02:43Grow up and I get you.

02:44Okay.

02:46That's not like you.

02:47That's not like you.

02:48Hey Marcos, you know Swaggy Tobes, he coming to the building right now because why didn't

02:55you feel this way last week?

02:57Because I know the Seminoles are awful.

03:00I don't think Duke's awful.

03:01I don't think Duke's awful.

03:02Duke's not awful.

03:03They're not awful.

03:04And they're a good defense.

03:05Like look, we can make fun of Manny Diaz and we should make fun of Manny Diaz because the

03:09dude was a bum.

03:10He can coach some defense.

03:11He can coach some defense, dude.

03:12He can coach some defense.

03:13I mean, they gave up, well, they gave up their most points last week, 28 points.

03:18And that was overtime to SMU who's been, I mean, SMU's been lighting it up.

03:22I mean, I know that's his former offensive coordinator, so a little bit of intel, but

03:27you know, he beat Matt Brown this year.

03:29He never beats him.

03:31He never beats him.

03:32Like that's, that's his daddy.

03:33I mean, you know, so I'm just a little bit, I don't know.

03:39It's okay.

03:40You can't lose.

03:42This is the thing.

03:43The stakes of losing and then losing to Duke, you can't lose to Duke and you can't lose

03:48to that coach.

03:49You can't do it.

03:50You can't do it.

03:51And that's why this one to me, this one to me is a little nervous, a little nerve wracking,

03:57a little here.

03:58All right.

03:59It's a noon game.

04:00Like, Hey, you know, I just, I don't know.

04:03I probably shouldn't be that way, but I am, I can't help it.

04:08Here's, here's what I've done over the last few weeks.

04:13My confidence has grown based on the multitude of ways they've won football games.

04:22Now I do believe that a lot of that they put themselves in that situation, right?

04:28But they have the talent to make up for it.

04:33So how can you in the future eliminate that?

04:38Well, it has to do with you, not them.

04:41You have to protect the football.

04:43You have to not give up big plays.

04:46You have to tackle and not let them break.

04:49You know, you have, you have to protect the quarterback.

04:52And so that's what is encouraging.

04:57The encouraging part is there is nothing that the first eight games or teams have done

05:06to you that would lead another team to say they can exploit you except for the big plays.

05:13It's all been on you, right?

05:16And then, and critical turnovers, you know, but that's what I'm saying.

05:19So, so it, if I thought I am the reason why I've had all these close games and not the

05:26other team, I can fix that.

05:30You just got to think like this, this, this rat bastards probably thinking up at night,

05:33like he's like, this is my ultimate revenge or there might be a, there might be a, you

05:40know, some special plays, right?

05:43Might be a Philly special double flea flicker.

05:47You know, I'm watching a lot of guys.

05:48I thought like, you know, cam ward, look, they were able to run the bully hell of the

05:52ball.

05:53He, he, he, you know, he didn't take any real risks, which was a smart way to go against

05:58FSU.

05:59Like we said, it wasn't the most thrilling game in the world, but I think it did show

06:02maturity from the, from the team.

06:04Cause they just, they knew how to throttle them and eventually just take them out like

06:08a boa constrictor.

06:10I just think with this game, yeah, I did see cam still running around a lot because you

06:15know, FSU was dialing some stuff up and I just know Mandy Diaz is thinking to himself,

06:20if I can get one game this year, it's this game.

06:23And he's going to throw the kitchen sink at this team.

06:25I just think they got to be ready for it, but that's what everybody's going to do.

06:30You're undefeated.

06:31You're in the top 10.

06:32Everybody's got that attitude.

06:34You just have to accept it and accept the challenge.

06:36Is this a ridiculous person for me to be scared of?

06:38Am I a coward?

06:39Yeah.

06:40I would say you're, you're closer to coward than confident.

06:43Interesting.

06:44Now, how would you feel if cam war, I can already see him now cam war back there.

06:50He gets sacked.

06:51It all happens to come out.

06:52Duke recovers it.

06:53And what are they doing?

06:54There seems to be something going on behind Manny Diaz.

06:57They're unveiling it.

06:58It's the Duke blue devil turnover chain.

07:02That would hurt so bad.

07:03That would hurt so bad.

07:04I would, I would, I would, there would be a piece of me that respects it as a card carrying

07:10member of team petty.

07:12There would be a piece of me that respects it for many.

07:13And it is his invention.

07:14Like I can't get mad at him.

07:16He invented the turnover chain so I can't get crazy about it.

07:20But it is interesting.

07:21You have these parallels of the turnover chain season.

07:23First time you've been eight, no, since the first turnover chain season, you know, then

07:26the turnover chain got a little too gaudy.

07:28Everybody got old and their feelings about it.

07:30You know, what if we debut it?

07:32How would you feel about that?

07:33Like, it's like, no, you can't do it now.

07:36How would I feel about that?

07:37I would.

07:38Yeah.

07:39That you can't, you can't, first of all, first of all, first of all, understand who your

07:47coach is.

07:48There ain't no way in hell.

07:51No, no, no, no.

07:56He's trying to make it all about football.

07:58No, he was a little, but he was a little rubbing it in the nose of FSU.

08:02Now listen, that's FSU, but he was like, he was rest of the state.

08:08I did love that speech that cam ward gave though in the locker room.

08:11I mean, do you hear that?

08:12He's like, he's like, where the show was the state.

08:16I'm like, oh, goosies.

08:19I was goosies.

08:22I mean, it was a dominant victory, but very boring.

08:27Yeah, very boring, but did take out this stupid state.

08:30USF, UF, FSU.

08:34Yep.

08:35That's a good recruiting tool.

08:37Definitely is.

08:38Definitely is.

08:39All right.

08:40I'll try not to be such a coward.

08:41It's not, it's not that you're being a coward.

08:44It's just being the opposite of Tobin, which is, did something happen?

08:48Like, no, it's just like, I've, I've thought about this game for a long time.

08:52Like you asked me, like, why didn't I feel this way?

08:54Cause FSU sucks, dude.

08:55They suck.

08:56I knew that was going to be an easy game.

08:58And, and look, I felt the same way about Virginia tech.

09:03Right.

09:04And look how that game ended.

09:06Virginia tech wasn't terrible.

09:09I think Virginia tech is better than Duke.

09:11But, but you would agree FSU is legitimately terrible.

09:14Yes.

09:15But again, rivalry game, you know, they're going to pull all their trickeration and do

09:22all the things they, they had the intangible play quarterback that mysteriously ran for

09:2669 yards or one drive.

09:28Who saw that coming?

09:30Giordo says, did you see that Duke stadium?

09:32More people at a high school game, weird versus a six in one team.

09:35Was it a bad atmosphere?

09:36I did not see that Giordo.

09:37I did not.

09:39I say that about American heritage.

09:42They don't have that track anymore.

09:43Right.

09:44Remember that was a, that was a big one.

09:46The long walk.

09:48Oh my goodness.

09:49Whose excuse was that?

09:50I can't even keep it.

09:51That wasn't Manny's.

09:53That was, that was Randy Shannon.

09:59Wasn't it also, isn't that one of the greatest plays in Miami football history happened in

10:04Duke?

10:05Oh yeah.

10:06Halloween night too.

10:07It was Halloween week.

10:09Yep.

10:11Yep.

10:12And by replay, he would have been down eight times, but you remember you had the nation

10:17come out that week.

10:19Tony Kornheiser was like, they should forfeit.

10:22Greeny was like, you should forfeit.

10:24I'm like, what?

10:26I've never heard of such a thing.

10:28Telling a team to forfeit.

10:30What?

10:31Only Miami.

10:32They would do that too.

10:33Only Miami.

10:34Right.

10:35Ridiculous.

10:36They were less outraged about Michigan steel and science.

10:39Now listen,

10:41let me,

10:43hey,

10:46I was just sitting here minding my own business.

10:49I was trying to comfort you.

10:51I mean, Frank, you would agree.

10:52Like the national hour.

10:53I'm not saying, look, I'm not saying like you won.

10:55I'm just saying that, you know, for having a guy in disguise.

11:01Real low, real low.
