Yeah it makes it difficult to get a good read on Ward. He plays a lot of hero ball, but he has to. Kind of like Howell at UNC. 

Yeah, I've been saying that this year's Miami team is very reminiscent of the Howell/Maye UNC teams. As good as the QB is I can't see them as legit contenders.

Everyone gives them a tough fight. Their defense is trash.

Yep. Every ACC matchup is problematic for Miami.  They just aren’t a good team.  

great QB.  

Clemson is the best team in the ACC.   They would beat Miami 2 out of 3.  You might could argue Miami has the highest ceiling on a good day via Ward in a shootout I guess

Time to see if Ward can carry this team! If you're a winner, time to prove it! 

Miami asks him every week to do this.  Eventually, they are going to lose and it most likely won’t be on Ward.  They asking the impossible at a certain point in terms of Ward week in and week out

Pitt and SMU may have something to say about that.

Well they play tonight.   Too many games actually I want to watch in that window.  

SMU clearly the surprise of the ACC this year.  

I still think based on play to date…Clemson gets the nod.  They have dominated everyone since that bad UGA 2nd half.

OSU and PSU both fuging suck

It's gonna be an interesting playoffs. There just aren't any dominant teams this year. Every team has shown some serious vulnerabilities. Don't be surprised if Oregon lays an egg against Michigan today. Seems like something similar has happened to every other top team.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
