00:00We're going to talk now about a game that was played two years ago in South Beach. Miami did win

00:05dominating fashion. They put up 45 points and beat Texas A&M 45 to 33. Now the Hurricanes have

00:13to go on the road. It's an early noon kick in Kyle Field in College Station. Texas A&M opens coach

00:20as a three and a half point home favorite. We saw them struggle against Lenora Sellers in South

00:26Carolina struggle at the end of the regular season against Texas and Arch Manning. Do they

00:32struggle in this matchup against Carson Beck and the Miami Hurricanes? No, I think I think Texas A&M

00:38playing at home will be at their very peak. I'm still going to go with this whole home field

00:43advantage. Now we're talking Kyle Field, 103,000 people, maybe the two or three loudest stadiums

00:49in the country. This is one of them. And Miami is a very quiet stadium. They don't have they don't

00:54have a lot of people in Miami go to these games. It's a not allowed stadium. And I could see them

00:59putting that pressure because they lead the nation in sacks. I could see them put a lot of pressure

01:04on the quarterback and that noise that making them jump offside, jump offside. So I think the

01:10home field advantage would be a huge factor in that ballgame. Yeah, we'll see. And again,

01:14Marcel Reed, I'll give the edge over Carson Beck. I know Beck does have the big game experience,

01:20but Marcel Reed is a dual threat. I'll also give the defensive edge to Texas A&M. Throughout the

01:26regular season, coach, we've seen this defensive unit play stellar third down defense, one of the

01:32tops in the country for much of the regular season, holding opposing offenses to ride in the area of

01:38about 25% of third down conversions. That's a huge type of factor and strength to have in this type

01:45of matchup where potentially could be a lower scoring game. So we'll see how it plays out.

01:50I do like A&M in the matchup and I do think it is an under in this ballgame. How do you see it

01:55playing out? I definitely do. Not only is A&M defense good, but Miami defense, Barry get to giving

02:02up 13.8 points a game, seventh in the nation and rushing yards, 86 yards of game. They are equally as

02:10good on defense. Statistically, they are. I think I'm with you. I think Texas A&M has the better

02:14defensive skill over there and will be a little bit better in that regard. But these are two

02:18very, very good defensive teams. That stadium is going to be impactful on that football game.

02:23So I definitely like the under as well as going with Texas A&M.
