Florida State v. Miami: The Preview

[23]FSU v. [16]UM:
8:00 pm
ABC
Saturday; October 9, 2010

It's finally here, argurably the best rivalry still going on in College Football, The Canes v. Noles. You know we're in for a great game with the last nine being decided by no more than 8 pts. The Canes grinded one out last year with the 48-44 victory in Tallahassee, but now its back in Miami where the Seminoles last beat the Hurricanes. This game showcases who many believe are the top 2 teams in the ACC with two of the best QBs in the nation.

Lets see how they stack up to each other

Florida St Leaders

Passing: Ponder - 78-129, 844 yds, 8 tds
Rushing: Thomas - 49 car, 308 yds, 4 tds
Receiving: Reed - 28 rec, 251 yds, 1 td

Miami (FL) Leaders
Passing: Harris - 68-119, 895 yds, 10 tds
Rushing: Berry - 67 car, 327 yds, 1 td
Receiving: Hankerson - 23 rec, 388 yds, 6 tds

Both of these teams also boast 2 of the best Defenses in the nation as well. Florida State is ranked No. 1 sacking team in the nation and the No. 2 total defense in the ACC. While Miami is the No. 3 sacking team in the nation and the No. 1 total defense in the ACC. So from the looks of it both QBs will have their hands full with the opponent tonight.

I know you've waiting on my pick for the game and all I gotta say is look at the logo boi [and the YM logo is there because it looks raw]. But Guru Taylored predicts the Seminoles will win 38-35. I think the game will be determined by the turnovers and Miami has an edge in that category with Jacory "Mr 8 pics" Harris at quarterback.But close game as always but trust the Noles will come out on top of this one.
