00:00of all eyes will be on south beach in miami miami dominated syracuse last week as a 28 and a half

00:06point home favorite they won it by 28 got the win and no cover against the syracuse orange now this

00:13line opened up on sunday night coach against nc state in favor of the hurricanes 14 and a half

00:19point favorites we've seen some steam up to 16 and a half 17 and a half earlier in the week we now

00:26settle in right now late in the week at 15 and a half miami's had a problem covering these big spreads

00:33i think cj bailey and nc state potentially could be live i don't know if they get the victory but

00:39i'll take the points in this matchup but you're reading my mind on that i mean he's a beast cj

00:44bailey i'm 10 6 foot 6 210 215 georgia tech had no answer for him had no answer for him and he was

00:52sensational and i think he has the skill to go out there and cause a lot of problems i definitely

00:57think the the spread is too much i got to go with the points uh and nc state now miami does have the

01:03talent to give him problems they can rush a passer they've got a strong front but they better not let

01:08him escape and hurt him because he's a great dual threat quarterback he's a fine runner and a beautiful

01:14passer i don't know where he's been hot and cold a little bit he's just a sophomore he had a lot of good

01:18numbers as a true freshman but i've talked to nfl scouts they really think he's a guy down the

01:23road that could play on sundays and i think we're just now beginning to see how good he is he put up

01:29340 passing yards completed 75 percent of his passes against the georgia tech in the home win

01:36past couple of weeks he's played very clean with the football coach five passing touchdowns no

01:42interceptions as long as he plays clean on saturday again to your point they just have to stay within

01:48two touchdowns he's a mobile guy and he could challenge that secondary over the top the other

01:53factor too and you and i have talked about this when does miami play with that sense of urgency

01:59is it the fact now that they're 11th in the nation in the college football playoff odds will

02:04the light go off that this team realizes they can't just walk through the motions especially in the

02:10first half well they if they don't if the light doesn't go off this game it's not going to go off

02:15because last year they had every opportunity to walk into the playoffs and they didn't do it

02:20they lost late in the season a couple games they've almost done the exact same thing this year uh now

02:26they've got to beat a team to double score they're they're almost almost three scores uh favored over

02:31nc state they just go out there and get a play inspired ball and play they just got the they've got

02:37the talent to negate that quarterback and that quarterback is a chance to be a difference maker

02:42but all they got to do is come out ready to play and then i think carson beck needs to make sure he

02:46plays clean when they haven't won a couple of games he's had turnovers and he's made some mistakes

02:50and he's got to play like the veteran that they brought in so miami just needs to play up to their

02:55level i will say this so that quarterback is from miami he'll be keyed up to play great in front of his

03:01and he'll be keyed up to play great in front of his family

03:02and he'll be keyed up to play great in front of his family
