The Predictions: Miami to break streak against Florida State

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The skeptics are out there. Despite a 4-0 start, a lot of people still aren’t sold on the Miami Hurricanes, who have beaten FAMU, FAU and Appalachian State (plus Georgia Tech). Now, against a wounded FSU team, we’ll see just how far the Canes have come. Miami does have an impressive offense with quarterback Brad Kaaya and running backs Joe Yearby and Mark Walton. That’s a challenge for an FSU defense that has struggled against opponents’ quarterbacks all season. Dalvin…

Predictions: FSU to outlast a talented Louisville opponent

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Your first question is this: Can Louisville beat FSU? Yes. Your second question is this: Will Louisville beat FSU? No. Oh, it’ll be close. I wouldn’t be surprised if Louisville, behind the marvelous Lamar Jackson, led in the fourth quarter. But FSU is too solid across the board, even with star safety Derwin James out. The FSU defensive line is solid. Dalvin Cook is a star. Deondre Francois can make plays. But FSU has to play well, or the fast-break…
