Keys to the Game

Miami needs to keep establishing itself and continue to show it's one of the best teams in the country, with the talent to put this game away early. Miami will be in good hands if they can get the big 3 rolling in Darian Mensah, Malachi Toney, and Mark Fletcher Jr., and this game will help the defense continue to gel. This team has the vibes where you don't necessarily have to stress about winning games; that's what it feels like, but it still lingers in the back of your mind that they can find a way to lose a game that they should win.

Thoughts

Miami should, and will, win this game behind the arm of Mensah, and the defense will step up to the plate, and it's gonna be a long day for the Demon Deacons.
