Reply #12: No, Berlin is mistake prone and the DL subpar

[Awsi Dooger]

I believe in vulnerability. I bet vulnerability. 33-10 down in the Orange Bowl was EXTREME vulnerability. I was there and it was well earned. The deficit, not just the escape.

Brock Berlin is a little guy intent on 3 or 4 interception opportunities per game. The swing pass laterals are maddening and increasing in number. Berlin is the first 'Canes QB I can't stand, his Gator heritage and constant babblings about God too much for me to take.

DoctorBombay is correct, the 4 road games are almost certain to produce at least one defeat. I think it will come in Tallahassee. FSU dominated Miami in the trenches for 2 1/2 quarters last year, much more than Ohio St ever did. With 6 of 7 defensive linemen gone this year, FSU will certainly try to muscle the 'Canes like Florida did with a straightahead running attack. I will say that Vince Wilfork is playing great as a fulltime DT this year, much more stamina than I expected.

Miami will need big plays out of the defense and special teams to threaten an unbeaten year. But we don't get the quick 6 picks on defense anymore, no Philip Buchanons or Edward Reeds back there.
