Canes vs Gators

Rivalry History

Miami vs Florida, and I'm going to say this a bit. Still, I have absolutely no respect for Florida because they tucked tail and ran off like Notre Dame. In contrast, Florida State stuck around to continue the rivalry with Miami, allowing Florida to kick rocks and continue trying to look good playing cupcake schools. Meanwhile, the SEC is moving to a 9-game conference schedule. They are likely to drop the Canes rivalry, effectively ending it for now. Now that's out of the way, let's discuss the rivalry history between Miami and Florida. The rivalry saw many memorable games, from the Gator Flop to a street brawl in the streets of New Orleans. This rivalry has seen its share of wild moments, and Miami has dominated the series since 1978, with Miami winning 13 games to Florida's 5, and Florida hasn't won a game in Miami since 1985. Tomorrow night's Primetime main event is gonna be the latest and possibly the final meeting between these two heated rivals, as I said earlier in the post. This may seem like a non-informational piece about the rivalry, but I don't really want to waste my time on the other Florida team that thinks they are remotely relevant.

Keys to the Game

Miami has to be relentless all game long and not let up. Reuban Bain and Akeem Mesidor must be absolute menaces to DJ Lagway, forcing him into horrible passes and making his life miserable. I can see Wesley Bissainthe being a nightmare in this game, being all over the field. Offensively, Mark Fletcher must run down their throat and have another 100-yard rushing game. Malachi Toney and CJ Daniels could have a similar impact on the tight ends, given that Miami hasn't fully utilized them this season. By showing off their skills, the tight ends could make things tough for Florida. Still, I don't want to show much cause we have Florida State in a couple of weeks with another potential destination for College Gameday.   

Florida needs to play a bright, clean, and perfect game. Hopefully, Miami will be in their heads throughout the day, thanks to all the festivities. DJ Lagway cannot throw five interceptions in this game, or this game will be a blowout, and it's gonna be a long night for the Gators.

Prediciton

It's a rivalry game, so it will be highly competitive. Still, I can see Florida just not caring, and Miami steamrolling them and sending them back up to the trailer park convention that is called Ben Griffin Stadium, aka The Swamp. But it will be entertaining, and I fully expect Hard Rock to be rocking loud all night long, and it's gonna be one crazy night. Go Canes.
