Time to "Put up or shut up!!!"
Well after a good showing against a "less than stellar" Marshall squad, the Canes take their National Championship caliber Defense and less than explosive Offense to Norman OK. for a true test of our progress on Saturday. I have to honestly say that this is the most excited that I have been for a game since VT in 2005. Unfortunately for me I got a new job and moved to DC, so i will not be attending the game, but you can bet that I will be glued to the TV. Let's state the obvious, this Hurricanes "D" is no joke(maybe the best, definately the most underrated in the country), we are going to give their rookie QB fits. Their only hope is to run the ball effectively. I am still not sold on our offense or Kirby Freeman. I make no bones about it, I am a Kyle Wright supporter, I think he is more poised, more confident and more tested than Freeman. 81 passing yards against Marshall is terrible. I think we have two of the most underrated backs in the country(Cooper and James) who will get a chance to show what they got on Saturday. The way I see it going is this, our defense will set the tone early with some brutal shots on OU's QB and hopefully force a turn over early and get some momentum. After that I truly don't know what to expect. I definately don't see this as a mismatch or an upset if we win, personally I think OU is ranked way to high with a very inexperienced team, but I don't take them lightly. If our Offense was better and QB play was more consistent I would feel alot more confident in the Canes, but truthfully I'm concerned. With that being said my pick still stands: The U will roll into Norman and do waht we always do there....WIN:
17-14 Canes
Maybe you like my pick and maybe you don't, one thing is for sure Saturday is one of the biggest games in recent Hurricanes history, and I believe once again those ghost of Miami past will push this team to victory...And that's the bottom line cause the Caneiac said so...Go Canes!!!!
