Looking ahead a bit
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I know it’s Clemson week, but I find myself wondering about Miami.
The Hurricanes come to Atlanta a week from Saturday for THE most important remaining game on Tech’s schedule. Sure, the Yellow Jackets would love to beat the Tigers on Saturday, but beating the Hurricanes next week means more in the race for the Coastal Division title (especially after Virginia Tech’s loss to Boston College).
Will the Miami-Florida International fight and the accompanying criticism unite what has been an unimpressive Miami team on the field? Assuming the 13 one-game suspensions aren’t enough to affect the outcome of Miami’s game this week against Duke (50 suspensions might not be enough to affect that one), Miami will come here 5-2, 2-1 ACC.
If Larry Coker can sell the us-against-the-world message so many coaches have used so effectively so many times before, he just might be able to save his job and his team’s season.
Or the already cracking Hurricanes could fall apart. Which one will it be? Tech had better be ready BOTH of the next two weeks.
