Miami vs. Florida State: Point Spread, Total & Prediction

Damien Berry ran 20 times for 101 yards for Miami, while Jacory Harris completed 19 of 47 passes for 225 yards, with a rushing touchdown.

Though neither have started this season, Golden has been effusive with his praise of both linemen, saying repeatedly that they have pushed for more playing time.

FSU has scored 131 points in the first four games, an average of 32.75.

Offensive coordinator James Coley arms him with a series of options based on the package he calls for.

Where are the deep shots downfield?

WR Nate Craig-Myers, Tampa Catholic: FSU appeared to be in the lead for the No. 2 wide receiver in the country after he decommitted from Auburn. Thomas Aquinas: The No. 5 WR is a Miami commit but not only is he visiting FSU this weekend, he is headed to Ohio State next week when the Buckeyes play Penn State.

The Florida State Seminoles (4-0) and the Miami Hurricanes (3-1) renew their rivalry this Saturday night in Tallahassee.

“He’s showed his maturity, and just growing into what’s there, making sure his team is in positions to win games”, Fisher said, per Brendan Sonnone of the Orlando Sentinel. “We also have the benefit of playing Florida State every year, which is another great program”.

“I’ve been here for two years and I haven’t beaten them yet, so I’ve got to get them this year”, said junior cornerback Artie Burns, who is tied for the team-lead with three interceptions.

“I feel as good about our lineup as I have since Game 1”. Historically, Florida State has played down to inferior opponents, but often shine brightest in marquee games. Golson, sans his usual backfield mate, will be the Week 6 hero, displaying his crunch-time experience with a couple of decisive drives down the stretch. Cook is questionable for this week’s game against Wake Forest.

This game is the lynchpin in Golden’s argument that he and his staff deserve another season.

Vickers got his first action last Saturday and had 10 carries for 33 yards.

After the game, Fisher criticized his team for not having a killer instinct. The first two games were gimme’s and everyone on this planet expected them to defeat Bethune Cookman and Florida Atlantic.

Last but not least is perhaps the most chest-pain-inducing game of the bunch. Saturday, against the Hurricanes, for example, followed by Louisville the next week, at Georgia Tech on October 24, at Clemson on November 7 and at Florida on November 28.

“We would play the song to each other, we would say like, 42 [yard line], left hash, against Miami, and we would play the song… sometimes we’d make it, sometimes we’d miss….”

“They move the ball very well”, said Fisher.

“We’ll be fine”, Fisher said on Monday during a news conference. If you recall, the series went on hiatus after the 2013 season. How you going to control the scoreboard? He’s been pretty sharp with the ball. For now, his performances will have to do all the talking.
