00:00And let's turn our attention to another big battle, Miami on the road in Georgia Tech.

00:11Georgia Tech coming out of a bye week.

00:13The availability of starting quarterback Haynes King will be a game time decision coach Miami

00:19hitting on all cylinders.

00:21You mentioned it averaging well over 40 points per game.

00:24How do you see this ball game playing out?

00:27Well, it's Miami is I mean, their worst enemy is Miami when they when they don't play defense

00:32like they could play defense.

00:34Other teams get close, but this team is really got everything they need to play for a

00:39championship. I expect them to be in the ACC championship.

00:42I think they'll cover they'll cover Georgia Tech.

00:45They've just got too much offense and they're they have the ability to score whenever they

00:49want to. Defense has got to step up.

00:52And I think the inconsistency right now in the way Georgia Tech is right now, I think I

00:57think Miami is going to cover and they're going to they're going to they're going to do

01:00well on offense and they're going to they're going to be able to stop them on their offense

01:04on Georgia Tech. Now, it's a 12 o'clock kick.

01:07It's on the road in G Tech, Bobby Dodd Stadium, a very difficult place to play.

01:12But if you remember last year, coach Miami at home had the game in in their hands, right?

01:18They were supposed to run out the clock.

01:19Ariel Cristobal does not take the knee.

01:22They get the fumble.

01:23Haynes King pulls it out.

01:24And really after that, Miami's season was lost.

01:28How much do you think that will factor in in terms of the intention, intensity and

01:33emotional aspect for the Miami Hurricanes on the road?

01:37Well, you know what?

01:38I don't think the coaches will ever forget that.

01:40And I think, again, if that circumstance arises, if Miami has a chance to spread the

01:46lead, they will do that because that's an example of what happens when you don't really

01:50concentrate on what can happen bad.

01:53No, I think I don't think those coaches will forget that.

01:56And I think, again, Miami will try to put enough points on the board.

01:59They don't get in that situation.

02:01Yeah, you look at Miami.

02:02They're averaging 186 rushing yards per game, throwing it for around three hundred and

02:07seventy yards with Cam Ward.

02:09He's already thrown for over thirty one hundred yards this season.

02:13Dynamic performances each and every week for Georgia Tech to potentially be in the ten

02:18and a half point spread, coach.

02:20They have to run the football, keep Cam Ward on the sidelines.

02:23They're also fighting for bowl eligibility.

02:26What could Brent Key and Georgia Tech do from an offensive perspective to potentially be

02:31in this ballgame?

02:32Well, they've got to keep the ball.

02:34They've got to they've got to run the ball, control the clock, and they've got to hope

02:37Miami has some turnovers.

02:39And again, when you have turnovers and you control the clock, you get this game into the

02:43second half. I think the biggest thing Georgia Tech can do is to run that football and

02:48continue to run the football.

02:49Because remember, Miami's defense has not been consistent.

02:52They've let people stay in the game and the offense always gets them out of problems.

02:57So I think Georgia Tech, if they will control the clock, run the football and then maybe

03:02get a turnover or two, they have a chance to be the pizza spread or even win this game.
