00:00All right, speaking of not playing well, I don't know what to make of the University

00:06of Miami Hurricanes, Bill, because it doesn't seem to matter what the score is.

00:12Just at any time, Cam Moore just goes bananas and they score 50, 60 points.

00:16I mean, I think this is definitely going to affect them if they get to the college football

00:20playoff.

00:21But with the schedule that they play, Bill, they keep playing against these teams.

00:23I can't stop anybody in the ACC.

00:25Look at the total in this game between Miami and Georgia Tech, 63 and a half.

00:29The Hurricanes probably could hit this themselves.

00:32They probably could give up 50 points themselves, too.

00:35Their defense is not good.

00:36It has not been good all season long.

00:38But I ask you this, 10 and a half points, everyone keeps saying, is this the week?

00:43Is this the week?

00:44Bill, every week has been the week.

00:45Miami has to come back and win these games in a crazy fashion.

00:49Does Georgia Tech stand a chance to cover or win this one?

00:51Well, you got to pay attention to whether or not Haynes King plays.

00:55He's day to day.

00:56And that's been the speech from Brent Key all week.

01:00So I don't know if he's going to play.

01:01If he doesn't play, I would lean towards Miami here.

01:03But the fact that that line has taken a nosedive suggests that King might play.

01:07What I would look for with Miami is their half splits.

01:11They've outscored opponents 187 to 121 in the first half.

01:14Then you get into the second half and they've outscored opponents 240 to 82.

01:19So they do step on the gas.

01:20They have that high octane offense.

01:22Maybe do an endgame bet here and see how it goes with Haynes King during the game.

01:26And then if you think Miami is going to cover, do that before the second half.

01:29But I like the Hurricanes to win here.

01:31And all those questions you raised about their defense, I have.

01:35I just don't have them this week against Georgia Tech.
