Miami are tipped to cover as they blow out Florida State in this rivalry game.

This Seminoles defense has given up a bunch of points against ranked teams, and their struggles against the run are a huge issue because they are now facing Mark Fletcher.

Fletcher – and his supporting cast – can run all over the Noles, while Darian Mensah produces yet another efficient passing display as the Canes pull away on the scoreboard.

Key Numbers – Will Hurricanes Improve To 6-0?

Miami have won all 5 of their games so far
Miami have covered in 4 of their 5 victories
Florida State are giving up an average of 47.0 points per game against ranked teams

Miami FL Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Won Last Meeting

Florida State Suffered Third Loss Last Time Out

Florida State enter this match on the back of a collapse in Louisville that resulted in a third defeat of the season.

Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell was on the hotseat coming into the season, and an underwhelming 34-17 win over New Mexico State on opening weekend did little to help his cause.

Neither did the 27-24 loss to SMU in their ACC opener, and that was followed by a 50-36 defeat in Alabama a week later.

Florida State snapped the two-game skid with a 34-7 win over Central Arkansas, and then backed that up with a first conference win as they beat Virginia 38-7.

However, the Seminoles were unable to make it three-in-a-row, as they blew a 14-point lead in a 44-20 defeat in Louisville last time out.

Miami FL Boast Perfect Record After Five Games

Miami enter this matchup boasting a perfect 5-0 record, having blown out Clemson on the road a fortnight ago.

The Hurricanes – who lost in last year’s National Championship – opened the campaign with a commanding 45-6 road win over conference rivals Stanford.

They backed that up a week later with a 77-7 demolition of Florida A&M, before heading out on the road for another ACC road win, beating Wake Forest 33-20.

Miami made it four-in-a-row row with another non-conference rout at home, beating Central Michigan 52-3.

The Hurricanes then produced their most impressive performance to date, as they went 3-0 on the road in ACC action by dominating Clemson in a 41-13 victory.

Verdict

Florida State @ Miami FL

Miami finally get to play a conference game at home, and we expect them to make a statement.

This explosive Hurricanes offense can light up the Seminoles’ struggling defense to ensure a commanding victory over their bitter rivals.
