Yesterday I rambled on about the Canes needing to shut up and simply show up today.
Same goes for this coaching staff. Jeff Stoutland better have his offense line ready for Georgia Tech’s sneaky blitzing, Tim Walton needs to give his defense a wake up call after last week and Randy Shannon needs to have these kids playing like they did the second half against North Carolina, not the first.
That said, “the guy” today is Patrick Nix. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Nix was the Georgia Tech offensive coordinator for years and won the chess match the past two seasons against Shannon.
Today it’s Nix versus defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta – who won the chess match versus Rich Olson and Todd Berry last season and Dan Werner the year before.
Nix has to bring ‘it’ today if Miami is going to pull off the win. He knows Tenuta’s tendencies and needs to counter them by bringing the unexpected.
Let’s watch this one play out. It’s kickoff. Let’s roll.
